So today I was in my Recital Lab class. I was taking notes. Then, he said that the notes would be online because he was going super fast. The following is what followed . . .

Berlioz (1803-1869)

Symphonie Fantastique

Musical Nationalism

Smetana

Opera is cool

Sometimes I just write to look like I’m taking notes.

I’m gonna tell a story now….

Once upon a time there was a boy who owned a pig. He loved this pig like it was his own illegitimate child. But one day, the government came and took all that his family had. He didn’t want the nasty dinosaur people to take his pig. But they did. So one day the boy decided to go for a walk. When he walked he tripped and fell into the woods and slid down a hill. At the bottom of the hill there was a hole. He decided to make the story longer and went into the hole. At the bottom of the whole he met a lot of magical creatures, some of which C.S. Lewis and Tolkien couldn’t come up with together. He thought they were weird so he left them and wandered into the ice cream forest. He ate a lot off ice cream and fell asleep. When he woke up he was surrounded by a hundred little insects. The insects were talking about their latest acid drip. Luckily, they boy had a can of raid in his pocket. They died. He continued walking and it started raining. He didn’t have an umbrella, so he wandered into a cave. At the end of the cave was a technologically advanced city. It was called The World of Dreams. All the people were ridiculously good looking, so this boy fit right in. He got a job as a pizza delivery boy and worked for a while. One day he was delivering a pizza on his hovercraft when he created a wormhole. The wormhole spit him into the country side, but took his hovercraft with it. He didn’t know what to do so he followed the fence, because he thought it led somewhere. It didn’t. So he decided to use the trees to build a house. He built a house and eventually got married to a gorgeous woman. The procreated and eventually moved into the city, where he was promoted to CEO of a large corporation. They treated him well and gave him many health benefits, but they didn’t cover his family. So he quit and moved back out to the country. There he lived until he was 54. When he was about to die, all he had left was a pig. He left this pig to his son. He loved this pig like it was his illegitimate child…..
