Some Weekend Background Stuff

Here are a few recommendations for the above, taken from my favorites.  Times are approximate.

Schubert’s Trout Quintet (40 minutes)

Schubert’s Impromptus (2.5 hours) (by the way, this visual rendition of #4 in A-flat major is mesmerizing)

Haydn’s String Quartets (six; 70 minutes)

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons (40 minutes)

Addinsell’s Warsw Concerto (10 minutes)

Chopin’s Etudes (twelve; 30 minutes)

Johann Strauss II – Essential Works (2.5 hours)

3 Worst Women

Here are the three worst kinds of women to be romantically involved with, in no specific order:

  • College professors.  They are used to being treated like gods in the classroom, and they expect you to do the same.  Or they’re fucking headcases who teach one of the “___ Studies” courses.
  • HR career women.  Fortunately, these things are generally unspeakably ugly and your chances of getting involved with one of them are slim, unless you’re a masochist in which case you deserve everything you get.
  • Comedians (we used to call them “comediennes”, but now that’s apparently taboo).  If you want every detail — emotional, sexual, whatever — of your private life to become just another part of her act, date one of these grunts*.

*except for Irish comedienne Aisling Bea, who is totally hot and could say anything about me she wanted, as long as I could do unspeakable things to her young Irish body when she’s not on stage.

Phwoarrrrr…
