Comment puis-je vivre...
Sep. 11th, 2000 10:13 pm...sans ma amie 'sanssouci'? Elle a disparu, et je ne sais pas pourquoi. J'espиre que tout va bien chez elle. Cette disparition me rend triste.
I feel mildly depressed at the moment, for reasons other than sanssouci's disappearance and my execrable French. Galina is still visiting her sister in Russia. I miss her. I tried calling today, but she was out visiting her psychic friend. Drew called earlier from Colorado, just after I got back from work, and I miss him, too. Finally, Lee is at school tonight, but I see so little of her, it's almost like not having her around at all.
The music I am listening to does not help. It's a piece by Joseph Martin Kraus, the overture to something called Olympie. Very heavy. Morbid. Threatening. Maybe it'll get better as I go along.
The first day back at work finds a lot of buildout going on. Elena's office has been widened some, and Andra's office has been framed in next to it. It now turns out that my office is at the end of a little "hall," which may make things better or worse, depending on the acoustics. I have a tendency to speak my mind at work, and have been given to understand that such expression may not represent the best in contemporary management praxis, especially when everyone and their kid sister can hear what I have to say. At any rate, it was a fairly easy day for a first day back at work, and the dust from the buildout and any resulting changes in acoustics are the least of my worries.
Got primed to do some interpretation this evening, but it got called off. The party who was going to need the interpretation decided there were too many people in attendance to be able to add an interpreter to the mix, and although the logic of this decision escapes me, I was glad to oblige with my absence.
The CD has advanced to something of Kraus' called Sinfonia per la chiesa, which is a bit peppier, with a very maestoso flavor to it.
Lee had rented a couple of videos over the weekend. Yesterday, I watched a fairly simple-minded anime titled Mermaid Forest which had a snappy story line, avoided pretense, and offered the viewer the usual display of animated female breasts and buttocks. The end was somewhat surprising, but the closure it provided to the story was solid.
Tonight, while eating a simple dinner of fish and udon noodles, I watched the other video that Lee rented, The Messenger. I'll probably have more to say about the film later, but right now I'll say it delivered more than I expected.
Now listening to the first movement of Kraus' Sinfonia C minor, which doesn't do much for me, but it fills the air with a pleasant sound. On that note...I'll stop.
Cheers...
