Mai had a shirt with blue and yellow and green feathers or leaves over a fishnet shirt, a leather glove with a zipper along the side and two rings over it, one a skeletal hand. Her other hand was bare and had a silver spider ring on the thumb and had a bracelet of teal beads and a black band. She had a choker with a ring hanging from it, a Buddha pendant, a star amulet, and abyssopelagic black hair. Bella not like Bartók or Dimetrescu wasn’t offended or anything, she is merely completely incapable of standing still. Also she didn’t notice but that’s kind of the whole point. Bella was blonde was dressed in sort of the opposite way as Mai: a simple white dress over a patterned swimsuit top.

I got my dinner at Pauli's. They don't toast subs anymore (neither does the deli I usually get my subs. But when I make my own sandwich, I toast the bread) although they used to. I think it's because other places started toasting their subs after Quizno's did and even had the Spongmonkeys sing a song about it.

Gioachino Rossini The Barber of Seville Overture - The first half of the concert went for a Classical theme. It also went for the standard reperitoire of overture, concerto, symphony.
Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges - Violin Concerto in G - Holy shitsnacks, this guy wrote a lot of violin concerti. I mean, he was a professional violinist and duelist as well. He was born in Guadelupe in the Caribbean.
Wolfgang Amadè Mozart Symphony No. 35 “Haffner” - The symphony began life as a serenade for his friend Sigmund Haffner’s ascension to the nobility, featuring a military march at the beginning and two minuets. Probably put it together in an all-nighter. For whatever reason, it was never played and Mozart reworked it into a symphony, removing the march, which lives on as K. 385a, and one of the minuets, which is now lost, added some flutes and clarinets.

The second half had a Latin theme.
Roberto Sierra - “Guaracha” from Serenata for Chamber Orchestra.
Aguinaldo Orocoveño and Seis Chorreao - two folk songs from Puerto Rico
Fabiola Méndez - A través de las aguas (Through the Waters). This was an original composition done with the Hyde Square Task Force, which is sung in English and Spanish and integrates both blues and Latin dances. It opens with flutes and then shakers and strings and ends with humming.
Joaquín Rodrigo - Concierto de Aranjuez - probably the most famous guitar concerto.

Júlia, whose name is probably written with an accent over the u, because that's what it is in Portuguese (they're from Brazil, you see), has a tattoo of some sort of lepidopteran on her wrist and the words “A vida é … de viver.” I can’t read my writing. Sophia, however, spells her name with a ph. Since I met a Sophia a few years ago, I always think of the ph spelling as the proper spelling even though even the Greeks use f nowadays. Telephone in Greek is tiléfono. There are probably a few languages out there that distinguish between /f/ and /ɸ/, I guess. Eʋegbe, which make their f more emphatic as well.

I had a burning question in mind, but alas, it will always be relevant.

burning question: Julia, am I getting through to ya on the other side?
