music, The Red Tent (pt. 3), and an analysis of my musical tastes.
*currently listening to: Temposhark- it's better to have loved. what a brilliant song. he has a great voice too...
I think I might be just like vernal and be incapable of not studying like crazy. it's just who I am I guess. I like that quote about if something is worth doing it's worth doing right. or however that quote goes...
ooohhh and I finally finished up The Red Tent (after taking a break because it got really depressing). I liked it a whole lot! And I definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to read about biblical women. One of my best friends read it from the historical fiction perspective and didn't like it as much, but I read it from the fictional/feminist perspective and loved it. I also think I was exposed/smothered in old testament bible stories much more than she was as a kid... so that could have something to do with it.
guess what I read today in psychology today? *pause for guessing* that people who listen to electronic/techno music are more likely to blurt out things and be spontaneous. Sounds pretty accurate in my case. I'm also simple minded for liking pop music, and above average intelligence because I like classical too. I have the weirdest itunes ever. I recently downloaded this cool dance song to work out to, be my baby (the ronettes), manic monday (the bangles!) , and Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
ok. I have to be sure not to sleep through biology.... I'm trying to get it for honors credit, which involves looking good to the prof.

I think simple minded is beyond me. I am having trouble wrapping my head around the concept of a simple minded person with above average intelligence.
Hmmm. I have broad tastes in music and listen to whatever genre i am in the mood for. How do they classify that? I love a good pop song, but what I think they mean by pop music is what's been played on the radio. I never listen to the radio for music, because most of the stuff on the radio is crap or becomes crap because they play it into the ground. I don't like a group of execs trying to determine the next hit for the masses. I have alternat means of finding good music.
As a kid radio was somewhat important in discovering music - that was before the alternative tag when the top 40 stations would have an hour long show late at night devoted to the so-called college rock bands or new wave or progressive or alternative. They would feature bands like U2, the cure, REM, New Order, Depeche Mode, the Stone Roses, the smiths, toad the wet sproket, xtc, the charletons uk, the sundays, the sugarcubes. Most people hated that music, that is why I loved it. Now most of the new stuff on the radio is so bland and deriviative that it bores me.
..sorry I lost myself, I must have thought you were someone else...
didn't mean to rant, but I love to talk about music.
