My roommate is playing overly melodramatic music right now. It's the sort of dramatic, instrumental music used in bad movies. I know she's just using Pandora because she isn't the sort of person to have instrumental music on her iTunes (her favorite band - of all time, completely unironically, as in she actually esteems their music - is the Pussycat Dolls...you can see why we aren't close). Right now it's this melancholy piano piece, minor key, as if Chopin had decided to become emo and write the soundtrack for a made-for-TV Hallmark drama. Seriously.
Now, I am a musician. I have studied classical piano for years. I have a Pandora station of Piano Solos. I just clicked on my Pandora and Couperin came on. Respectable. Beautiful. What the fuck kind of station is she listening to? Is there a Pandora preset for bad piano soundtracks?
Oh my God. Now it's playing a sappy piano arrangement of Amazing Grace. I might vomit.
This is not what I need right now. Today is not the day for bad music.
3 Good Things*:
1. Here is the right way to listen to piano music in minor key:
2. This poem by Sylvia Plath:

3. Retail Therapy. Received my new clothes ordered from Delias in the mail yesterday. Clothes from American Apparel will be arriving this weekend.
*I know I've written about how hard it is for me to come up with 3 Good Things but today was especially hard. My brother is in the hospital. We don't know what is wrong but it is very scary. Needless to say, melodramatic music is not helping my mental state.
