Thursday, Oct. 27th. Day 61.

A most laid-back of Thursdays. No class till 2pm, casual practicing/writing and stuff around the apartment. Class was pretty interesting, two Brazilian composers presented their electro-acoustic work. Through the long discussions and listening to only snippets of Stockhausen-inspired synthesized sounds, I was very much in one of my "this is so not for me" moods. Of course, these thoughts were interrupted by playful inside jokes that only a trained musician would understand, thereby making me feel evermore apart of this subset of society. Much confusion, as usual.

Later, a few of us went to my friends apartment for dinner. Fried eggplant and pasta with a cream-less-mushroom-cream-sause. Good times, however interrupted by a skype call from his friends back home. Nonetheless, much needed good food and social interaction.
