the interrupted measure
Aug. 28th, 2014 06:06 pmFound in the bathroom at Anna's: "it's the yellow king" and "horam expecta veniet," which, according to Google, is "wait for the coming season"
Some guy played the Mario Theme and some other things I either don't recognize or can't remember or probably both, at Downtown Crossing.
Had I known the Esplanade was open at 5 PM, I'd probably have asked to meet her earlier.
Emma ended up learning chess from an artist who seemed just a bit crazy to her. Being able to win in two moves or in four moves is cool but it requires an opponent with the intelligence of a koala, and if you're not insulted, you haven't watched True Facts About Marsupials. I didn't think to bring any watercolors or gel pens and she forgot hers or something and the sketchbook she had with her was tiny (and I did a nearby tree's portrait while she was playing chess, and she collaborated with a seven year old budding artist earlier to do portraits, and there's some rather personal writings in it that I don't remember anyway and I wouldn't share them if I did, along with a good quote about making so many pictures that I don't quite remember), so we did what ended up as a forest scene together, totally out of place in a sketchbook filled with portraits. Emma had pale green and blue paint in her hair. She wanted to dye her hair purple but I think a proper pale green streak would look good. She sings and plays the djembe and used to play piano, so I might find her in Cambridge somewhere.
They both had to leave early. Emma and I will hopefully get together to make art properly this time. Here's my awesome idea: we both do something in watercolors and have each other ink it. Gabriella and I will hopefully meet at Beantown Jazz Fest.
Gandolfi wrote a piece commemorating the 200th anniversary of the battle of Fort McHenry, but alas it was canceled (more or less during the British march to Washington, right after Reinagle's Mrs. Madison's Minuet and right before the British soldier's chorus of Handel's See, The Conquering Hero Comes! from Judas Maccabeus) due to thunderstorms.
It was the anniversary of Beethoven's 1814 Fidelio overture, which was rewritten to commemorate the defeat of Napoleon and the anniversary of his Eighth Symphony, his only symphonic minuet, a tribute to Haydn with "wrong notes".
Here. Have a clip of Krusty singing the national anthem. In Krusty's defense, To Anacreon in Heaven was written so vocalists could show off. Also, they were probably drunk.

Fuck you, thunderstorms.
On the bright side, I saw Russell on the T and he talked about robots and bureaucracy and the time he petitioned SGA for money so he could go to Japan and compare robotics. CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY!
Burning question: Do you honestly want to live through the rise of the machines? Which you won't, because no one will. I-- It's rhetorical!
