Today was not a great day. I’m not at liberty to talk about most of it on the internet (nothing major,  just the little things that add up and become a frustrating headache; also the current US political situation), but I would like to say an extra special “fuck you” to the guy sitting next to me on the plane back from DC who coughed loudly and openly for the whole flight, as I am now the proud owner of my own hacking cough. Fuck you, airplane guy. 

on the plus side- I sort of remember how to play the viola. By that I mean that I remember how to read the alto clef and generally to set up the viola/chin rest/bow combination, but I the sounds I created with said viola apparatus were decidedly not pleasing to the ears.
