Warning: this post is me whining about schoolwork.

Ack. Stupid music history listening.
*mutters darkly*
We hates it, my precious! Well, not the music history. Or even the listening so much. But the having to identify is major suckage. I much prefer Pickett-style "cram it all in one night and get it over with" tests to Thompson-style "know five pieces really well 'cos I'll play different recordings and fuck with your heads" quizzes. Of course, the difference between, say, Webern and Bartok is much more readily apparent than the difference between Dufay and Josquin. To ME, anyway.
From our latest Greek reading: "And the Cyclops does not answer but springs at the Acheans; and he seizes two of the companions and bashes them upon the ground; and their brains flow out and wet the earth." We terrified a prospie's mother reading this aloud in Reid yesterday. And people say a liberal arts education isn't good for anything.

As one of Mary's aunts would say (I can never keep of Mary's plethora of quirky relative who all do very strange things) "That's only 2/3 of a pun: P.U."

Now, feel free to shoot . . . Mary's aunt!

I find it easier to always refer to one of her relatives as Aunt Kitty, I find it is usually right and if not it gets corrected with an additional funny anicdote about Kitty!

This sounds like an excellent policy. I may start taking it up!
