I jut love this piece, the joy after the storm. How the world seems to be brighter, so full of life after a dark, stormy night.

Musique du Jour: 5/14/14

I'm really hoping the next few days will help pull me out of my funk about having to get surgery .I feel really ungrateful that I'm still so upset about it, but at the same time it's haunting me in the back of my mind and I can't push the knowledge away, and enjoy all the good things that have already happened: 

- I'm done with my final exams, so I'm basically done with the semester. Woot woot, just need to move out...

- I've already got one grade uploaded onto my transcript, and it's an A, so I just have another 3 to go and I'm fairly certain at least one of those other 3 will be an A as well

- Pretty sure I'm getting paid at least $30 today for a voice lesson in the evening (maybe $40 if she remembers to pay me back $10 from our first lesson)

- I am going up to the Lawrence National Laboratory near my university to get my identification badge that will be a tangible signifier of my affiliation with the lab through my research (it's basically fulfilling a long-held nerd-dream of mine :3)

So yeah. There's so much good in my life, and I'm really grateful. Thank you all for sticking around! :)

MUSIQUE DU JOUR:  "SYMPHONY NO. 2 IN C MINOR (5TH MOVEMENT)" BY MAHLER (It's quite a beast of a piece, but the 5th movement is truly haunting)

5th Movement: Spinning Back the Clocks by Diabolical Masquerade

Berlioz: "Symphonie Fantastique"  5th movement

He sees himself at a witches’ sabbath, in the midst of a hideous gathering of shades, sorcerers and monsters of every kind who have come together for his funeral. Strange sounds, groans, outbursts of laughter; distant shouts which seem to be answered by more shouts. The beloved melody appears once more, but has now lost its noble and shy character; it is now no more than a vulgar dance tune, trivial and grotesque: it is she who is coming to the sabbath… Roar of delight at her arrival… She joins the diabolical orgy… The funeral knell tolls, burlesque parody of the Dies irae, the dance of the witches. The dance of the witches combined with the Dies irae.

Just pure awesomeness.
