I kid you not: Super Mario Brothers 3 defeated in 11 minutes. Even if he did use an emulator to slow it down or spliced multiple attempts together, that's some crazy shite. Thanks Bryant! (I don't know that he used an emulator..just saying even if...)

Note to self: do not put picture of self easily accessible on front page or blog. Bad idea.
I want to take Japanese. I'm going to take Japanese. Hai.
Uhm...yeah, so I'm screwed for the end of the quarter papers. Oh boy.

Thanksgiving came and went. Some damn good Turkey made by Jimmy. Good mashed potatoes too. And scrumptious gravy. Moo.
Have a handle on bibliography. Do I ever. It's like a big pot and I just grabbed it good. Ligeti is going to be interesting. It gives me a Ligeti split...ting headache sometimes. Still no idea about Shostakovich though going through source materials now. Oh boy. Somebody might as well just tell me to bend over right now...
In other news, been watching Da Capo, among other multimedia diversions. The web vernacular "WTF?" describes this bits of this series in a precise fashion as it does Excel Saga, which is like ludicrosity on crack. I don't get the big pink bear. It's bizarre. It's kinda funny. But wtf?...oh... it's originally a japanese dating game...and the big pink bear is just the way the player sees the girl but not everyone else...and there's a hentai version of this game too? Once, twice, thrice, WTF?

At Santa Barbara, the "24 hour study room" is actually, the "listen to people not study and talk about which chicks are hot loudly room". Oops. What was I thinking!
And wouldn't you know it, you study Musica Ricercata and fun things just pop out at you. I'm talking structural pitch classes here. One big "joudan desuyo" that actually delineates the form of a piece. So simple, yet...well...so humorous in a dorky music theoretic kind of way. I'm talking about Musica Ricercata IV here. It's a veritable orgy of musical jokes.
I swear this has been one of the most unproductive weekends. Or at least it feels that way. I did do laundry and iron most everything but in terms of work output...doesn't feel so great. And my piano...let's not even go there. God...if I could just go through some this stuff without feeling anything. Just let my brain take over and just do my work. The eternal battle of heart and brain. OK, well, no I don't think that was ever an eternal battle like good and evil or procrastination and more procrastination but it sounded good 35 seconds ago. I need to sleep...
