Got over myself already

I know. What a moan. Still, sometimes those thoughts need to live somewhere else so they don't rattle around my head. And it has been a crap month in many ways. Saying goodbye to friends, working too hard and too inefficiently, in the cold and gloom of Winter. I'll be glad when the month is over.

So don't fret. I acknowledge the darkness so I can see the light and there's plenty of light indeed.

Reading Alex Ross' phenomenal The Rest is Noise. It's turned me onto some 20th Century music I hadn't considered: Schoenberg, Copland, Mahler. I recommend it highly, although it's a lug of a book.
