My daddy's here! I haven't seen him since June so it is super exciting. And he brought me presents too! An iron, three formal dresses I was having altered back home, another blanket, and My Mother's Pumpkin Bread. Ok if you've never had it, you're deprived. If you want the recipe just ask me and I'll post it. It's amazing. So anyway I'm super excited because 1. I get to see my dad, 2. he's fixing my car, 3. Now I have something to wear to Artist Series in a week and a half, 4. PUMPKIN BREAD.
So that's that.
In other news, I'm reading a book by an idiot for my music ed class. This guy says he's going to show the great awesome value of music, and then he says that music is primarily valuable because it's a human activity.
Well thanks, Captain Obvious.
DUH. Ya THINK it's a human activity? What a moron. So he spends three chapters bashing aesthetic experience (which I agree with 75% of the time, not all the time) and then contrasts that with a stupid idea. If music is just an activity, why is it any more valuable than, say, brushing your teeth? That's a human activity. And how is dumbing music down like that supposed to help advocate it in schools? *eyeroll*
Loser.
Anyway I'm done for the night. I'm going to go eat some chips and salsa in honor of my little brother and then go to bed. Hurray for adequate sleep!
