My life this week feels just like that old Jackson Browne song. I really have to stop letting my days run smack dab into each other on a regular basis. It not only stresses me to no end and wears me out, it makes me really, really bitchy. (just ask Will, go on, I am sure he will gladly inform you of obstinatiousness) At any rate, I am tired but feel like I have made some progress. I have moved into the modern age with the purchase of my first smart phone. Granted it is not the latest and greatest, but I got a good deal and a great plan for unlimited everything for a great price. Now as Will is so apt to remind me, let's see if the proof is in the pudding as far as performance on their part is concerned.
As I changed carriers it was easier to get a new number than port my old one over which meant I had to get a hold of everyone by voice or text to give them the new number. I also had the enviable task (NOT!) of manually transferring all my contacts over to the new phone. I am happy to report after much tediousness that task is finally finished. I even managed to get some ringtones set. When I first began messing with the phone, I definitely thought it was smarter than I was, however it is a learning process. Just like with a new computer with an unfamiliar OS. I am sure I will get better at it as time goes by.
I was really excited to get an app that allows me to now carry Venice Classic Radio with me wherever I go. The radio in the car has an aux input that may allow me to hook a cable to the phone and play it in the car too. That would be sooooo cool to be driving in TX and listening to radio from Venice on the car radio. Awesome! I also like the talk to text ability that should come in handy when I want to get windy via text message. Anyway, so I have some good shit happening as well as the ton of crap that is on my plate to get done. However, one more shift and the Weekend in s mine, TFGIIFFF!!!!! (Thank Fucking God It Is Finally Fucking Friday!!!!!)
Now to soothe the savage beast that resides within all of us, I have some lovely pieces from one of the most prolific and inspirational composers of all time. Franz Joseph Haydn, the Father of the Symphony with over 100 to his name, was a friend to Mozart, a teacher of Beethoven and an inspiration to generation after generation of classical composers, musicians and enthusiasts even unto this day. In addition to his Symphonies, his Chamber works fill volumes as well as his Piano works. Posted down below are 4 Piano Sonatas by Haydn recorded live in Budapest in 2009 by Dezső Ránki. Included in the play list are Piano sonata n°33 Hob.XVI:20, Piano sonata n°58 Hob.XVI:48, Piano sonata n°60 Hob.XVI:50 and Piano sonata n°62 Hob.XVI:52. While over on my tumblr you may join the Van Swieten Trio for their performance of Haydn's Piano Trio in C major, Hoboken XV:C.
Then as always on Friday I like to feed your Fantasies in prep for a bodacious weekend and today is no different. You will find this week's edition of Fantasy Fuel down below chock full of sulty sexiness waiting to inspire your desire as you cruise down the page. Then the Hottie of the Day! over on my tumblr will show you 'Ecstasy in XTG!'. Thanks for the visit see you again tomorrow for the Satiurday Evening Concert. Until next tiem as always, Enjoy!
