There's no place I could be without you.

I had a Political Science test today... that was a fun suprise at 8 this morning. I think I faired well, though, especially considering I don't have a book. I got back two exams today: Social Work (84) and Music Appreciation (86). Not bad considering the study time, or lack thereof, I devoted to the subjects. I was the only person in the class to get one of the bonus questions in Music. It was about the story of Daphne and Apollo, and that kinda blows me away... I knew that story before I even got in the class... I loved hearing it again... what is wrong with people?

We're watching Amaedaus in class right now... I really do love that movie. We watched it in Humanities years ago... so funny. I appreciate it a lot more now, I think. In news that is only slightly off-topic, I have been looking online for some music that we had when I was little. It was a set of four cassette tapes, and it contained four differnent stories: Mr. Back Comes to Call, Beethoven Lives Upstairs, Mozart's Magic Fantasy, and Vivaldi's Ring of Mystery. I would really love to find a set featuring these four, but it's proving pretty difficult. I've found several sites advertising "Classical Kids," which seems to be the manufacturer, but they all have two different sets, one including two of those and a third composer, and the other doing the same, at $35 per set. I did find one set including all four, but it was over fifty bucks, and it didn't include many details before purchasing, and I want to make sure I'm getting the stories, not just music. I also have this mental image of the picture on one of the covers (I believe the Mozart one) in my head, so I've kinda been on the lookout for that. The problem, of course, is memory... while I certainly remember this picture being on one of the cassette tapes, I'm not sure that it's a real memory... it was such a long time ago that it could be something I've just conjured up or some picture I just began to associate with the set.

Anyway, I'm going to splurge on this set soon. I really want it.

I have two books I ordered offline that should be on their way to the parent's house soon. One is called Lockpick Pornography, and one fothe authors is Joey Comneau, who writes the A Softer World commics. That's very very exciting. I've read exercts from all the chapters, and I can't wait for the book in its entirety. The other is The Real Diary of a Real Boy, and I'm nervous and excited about it. My dad has an original copy of the sequal, which was published in 1904, and it's amazing to read and feel and smell the old old print; the copy I ordered must be from a second edition, because it was printed in 1915 or so, but I still think Dad will enjoy it... anyway, I'm very excited.

I was thinking about volunteering at a nursing home sometime soon. Anyone wanna join me? I may not, but I think it would be fun. I could go on Sunday afternoons or Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. We'll see.

I made the very first Neopolitan last night. It was beautiful.
