Things I want to do

[ricardienne]

-read Catching Fire -- I'm a few chapters in, and IT IS SO GOOD! (Also: I would have taken an epigraph for my senior project from it if I had had it a month earlier!) (please, don't give me any spoilers, if you've read it, though)
-write a crazy mystery/thriller/historical novel/Dan Brown parody about quarter-tone counterpoint on the late 16th/early 17th-century Italian musical scene (deciphering the secret mind-control harmonies of the ancients! Religious wars in the background! What if the crazy-insane Gesualdo learns about the power of the enharmonic tetrachord!?) I sort of really want to do this, in fact.

Things I don't want to do:
-sort out how many and what kind of commas made up Vicentino's minor/major dieses and write it up in paper form.
-write the final Latin paper on Apuleius, which is looking right now like it will be stunningly mediocre at best.
-pack. This I really do need to do, though.

Also: I'm a little bit scared of not being in college anymore. I have less than a week left and then where will I be?

I totally want to read a thriller about mind-control harmonies! Not the enharmonic tetrachord! NOOOOOO!

Shhhh! men have been killed for the secrets of the enharmonic genus!

I love how delightfully dorky your book idea sounds. You should RUN WITH THAT SHIT.
