Four years is a long time.

It's been four years and one week since I met The Q, a.k.a. Love of my Life, a.k.a. Susan. I found our first ever communication today (check the comments).

The 18th is the anniversary of our second date, which involved playing board games with Nancy and Paul.

My point is this: I love her.

(Side note: My sister, whose is coming to visit us tonight, turns 50 on the 18th.)

On Glee.

I really think Glee is schizophrenic. ( spoilers )

On classical music

My favorite moment in classical music is still the big key change* (and even more so the subsequent shift back to the starting key leading into the finale of the piece) at the end of Ravel's Bolero, but the big low brass part* (joined by trumpets soon after) at the beginning of the fourth movement of Dvorak's Symphony #9 ("From The New World") sure rivals it.

*It occurs at 7:35 in this YouTube video, with the shift back leading into the final part of the piece at 7:56. Start it at about 6:00 to get the full effect.

**It starts at about 0:22 in this YouTube video. You've heard it before.
