well, it's Friday, and I am sitting here in the lab with Monica. She is doing her marching band tech homework, and I am wasting time. Monica is wearing her red coat today. I have to teach carillon in 15 minutes. My choir concert is next Friday. The tenors are unbelievably bad this year. They smell funny too. I have to stand in the middle of about five of them, so I know. Tonight I am going to the Tokyo String Quartet concert with the piano studio.

stream of conciousness is funny. Fish taste gross. I should be writing a paper. That wind is strong. My watch is shiny. I'm typing on a computer.
three cheers for Virginia Woolf!
Is there a connection between Asians and string instruments? It seems to me that some of the best are Asian and that whenever you see little kids playing violins, they're Asian too.
Could it be to do with the tonal qualities of their language?
I think the connection with Asians and strings is that it seems that traditional asian instruments were strings and the western violins and such were just a natural transition. I am probably wrong.
My personal theory has long been that Asian-Americans work very hard in university. Generally in the fine arts, I've noticed their dedication (the ones we hear about)often to be almost extreme and the end of that is the quality we see. In any case, I commend them for their talent.
