I Wonder...

I wonder how many posts I have on this blog of me just saying: "Man it's been awhile since I've last posted here." Or "I feel like I'm neglecting this blog". I'll have to look. Not tonight though. Too tired.

It's Been Awhile

It's been awhile since I lost posted here. Surprisingly the month of November has been very busy for me. One cool thing that did happen was on Wednesday the 28th I hosted Mitch Rosen, Operations Director of 670 The Score and 93XRT at the university I work at. Rosen came to speak to the communication students about how to break into the broadcasting industry.

It was a terrific talk. Afterwards I felt energized and ready to begin working on all of my projects that I have lined up. The one thing that is preventing me from beginning work is I'm starting to get sick. Hopefully I won't be sick for very long, and I'll be able to start work on my next episode of the Looking Glass.

Interesting Classical Music

Over the past year and a half, I have found myself listening to more and more classical music. I feel like most people my age turn their noses up to classical music. I feel like there is a stereotype that classical music is for "older rich people", is boring, or even stuffy. The more I listen to it, the more I feel myself breaking away from this stereotype. The more I listen to classical music, the more I find myself being engaged, and blown away by the many layers and beauty of the music.

As I've continued my exploration of the genre, I've found myself listening to film scores. This is usually the incidental music composed specifically for a film to add dramatic weight to particular scenes. The film scores that I've really enjoyed are the scores for Start Trek movies. They are utterly beautiful. One song that I particularly enjoy comes from Star Trek: Insurrection. It's called: Ba'Ku Village, and is from the opening credits of the film. It's really lovely.
