blah.

i've been in one of those weird moody stages. sometimes i get like this right before my period. this one is much more intense (as was my last cycle--two/three weeks ago). i feel like i'm being ripped apart emotionally, but i'm not unhappy... i just get ultra brief periods of rage... crying jags... jubilance... and my underlying feelings are really just my normal placidity/contentment.

i feel like there's a bundle of energy inside that's trying to find any outlet possible. it's quite odd.

and it has me wondering if, like jkatj, i'm a bit intolerant of the b-complex i'm taking. or if i'm just experiencing normal turbulence from the changing seasons.

the thing is, this is normally my best time... i LOVE the onset of fall and the winter that follows. i'm usually less moody this time of the year.
in my quest to keep my mood stable tonight (we're having guests for buffy), i donned my happy outfit. it helped tremendously. i then decided to make sharlotka... halfway through, i discovered we were out of eggs, so i walked down to the market. the walk did me good.

and now there's sharlotka in the oven, a casserole for dinner waiting to go in, and some cheese in my tummy.

life is good.
jeliza's entry on the tritone spawned this...

i like the augmented fourth/diminished fifth.

i'd forgotten how much music theory i've absorbed through the years.

it's very odd. i studied organ for 10 years, saxophone for three (decided i hated marching in band, which was the only way to be in band, but i did study on my own at home after the three years), piano for three months (learn different fingering, ahem)... i could play almost anything (barring physical inability due to tiny hands) technically/mechanically perfectly.

my lovely husband had 3-5 years on piano before he was 18 and then 2-3 semesters in college. he's never had theory.

he's more of a natural musician than i am. where i have mechanical perfection, he has soul. he tends to have perfection, too. i will *never* be the musician he is, but that's okay. i was never able to infuse music with the emotion he seems to do with ease. he's brilliant, really. and i LOVE listening to him while he plays.

now that i've shown him what the augented fourth and diminshed fifths are, he's going to be using them. ;)

we have similar tastes. i think that's why we end up with walls of plastic lawn skulls, harpies hanging from the ceiling, and spawn demon action figures nailed to the wall in the keyboard nook.
