May. 7th, 2017 01:05 amSheila is very tall and has orchid-colored hair and had a rose tetrafoil pinned to her dress.
One woman was holding her coat open like she was trying to scare away cougars.
Julia was dressed like an artist: an emerald-colored scarf over her hair with the bangs showing, Cyril Figgis glasses, a baggy beige peasant shirt with blue and white checkered overalls over it, two chokers, mismatched socks, boots, a bicycle helmet and a bag with a rainbow of five-pointed stars. She showed me a drawing by her friend and wished she was that good, she saw the goats in my picture collection, she made a drawing of a two-headed goat with three eyes and an intricate abstract spiderweb floral design in greens and blues and violets. She's not actually in school for art, she's studying sustainable agriculture. She was meeting a friend and then heading off to watch Guardians of the Galaxy, a movie I really need to watch.
She told me to have a lovely day.
A.J plays in a band called Last Chance to Reason while Audrey paints and does things with insects. Facebook says: what? You want to find these insects? HAHAHAHAHAHA no. Audrey has a tattoo of a one-eyed goat deity, or one visible eye with one hidden beneath her yin-yang pendant, and tattoos of insects and other arthropods. I had to look this up because I knew a guy named AJ in high school although he sounded like Clamps from Futurama having a brain aneurysm.
A trumpeter and a horn-player sat in front of me and asked if it was Access Hollywood, as Andris Nelsons and Kristine Opolaīs are classical music's hottest couple apparently and remarked that the booklet felt weightier than it usually did and said something about the Gaelic Symphony, and if she was talking about Henry Cowell's Gaelic Symphony, I am really jealous.
Joining in was a woman speaking in what I eventually determined to be Spanish. She sounded like an Ewok.
Their voices became one with the background noise.
A suite from King Lear by Shostakovich. It's kind of funny how Stalin had the same attitude towards the art that big-L Libertarians (not to be confused with small l libertarians who live in strange and mysterious lands where there are people who identify as libertarian socialists (if I use the generic term leftist to describe myself, it's because the word socialist has been co-opted by Françoise Hollande, Robert Fico, and Miloš Zeman (granted, they're from formerly one-party states))) have Ayn Rand, John C. Wright, the Mad Genius Club, Quent Cordair, et al. For various reasons, King Lear resonated with the Russian people. The ballad of Cordelia is a clarinet in this version.
Rachmaninov's 4th piano concerto is a rarely performed work.
Prokofiev's 1st piano concerto this is not. This is not a composition meant to showcase the pianist's talent.
Mahler's 4th Symphony is the journey from Earth to Heaven, where music is amazing and so is the food, especially the asparagus and there's a feast for all the saints. The trumpet player described it as a more intimate work. It's positively giddy but still sounds like Mahler, which means it's all over the place. The last movement was originally the seventh movement of his 3rd Symphony (tentatively titled "Heavenly Life" or "What the Child Tells Me" and in fact you can hear relics of the 3rd symphony in the 4th. In the second movement, Freund Hein, a fiddle-playing skeleton plays a violin tuned a whole tone higher than standard. The first movement has sleigh bells.
A man had a Hylian shield pendant and a button that said C.O.M.B.A.T. Transphobia. It stands for something. Google isn't helping, as it doesn't distinguish between "combat" and "c.o.m.b.a.t."
I'm one of the few people to say Shayla's name right. Most people call her Sheila. Jasmine likes to make art and took four years of art classes in high school and when she makes a drawing, she spends months putting little details in it, and so she wishes she had her sketchbook with her. She has a shih-tzu (Koda, like in the movie Brother Bear) and a big orange cat (Tiger), just like Ashley, and has an infectious laugh just like Ashley, and big emerald-colored eyes, and always gets nervous about missing her stop. She asks if I prefer to draw younger people or older people and I told her what I told other people: 90 percent of the people I draw are either younger women or older men and she gets it: they have more going on, be it facial hair or wrinkles or cool jewelry. She said that a photograph of the TV screen glitching out looks like Minecraft, which neither of us have played.
A woman had a golden bumblebee hair clip.
Yvonne and Tyla were in Boston for a 90s themed bar crawl, and Yvonne said she just went into her closet for her outfit because she always dresses like that. It makes sense, everyone's wearing chokers anyway. There were a lot of men in neon tracksuits and headbands but I didn't see any. I pointed out that men's formal wear has remained more or less unchanged for the past 100 years. I mean, men no longer wear citrus-colored suits. I also believe that culture is no longer cyclical, it's accretive, or maybe it always has been accretive.
She said something about how if someone apologizes to you, they should say what it is they're sorry for, and that's how you know someone's being sincere. It's not bad advice, though I've been in a situation where I apologized for not being a good friend which was deliberately vague as I wasn't entirely sure what I was apologizing for in the first place but yet it said everything I needed to.
burning question: what is this, Access Hollywood?
