Symphony No. 9 in D minor Op.125 "Choral"
It is such a great thing that the final manuscript of the 9th Symphony still exists. I hope it finds a good home.

Chinese Fast Food Take Out & Eat In
The sun bleached photographs of various selections drew me in along with the other bold signs. A few people eating in mostly Asians, an Asian girl in fount of me gives her order to the bright eyed counter guy, he then finds it on the paper menu and rattles it off on the microphone to the chef. After she's done she whips out her phone and talks super fast Chinese to somebody. I'm up next, Orange flavored chicken and Wonton soup, bright eyes looks at menu and fires off order over the man in the back, man in back gives me a look at then gets back to the job at hand. Soon the meal is up served in white Styrofoam finery. Find a place to sit, place is sorta a wreck, sit near snoopy "i ok your ok" banner. Food's good, rice a little lumpy, frumpy American women behind me is complaining about how the Styrofoam dinnerware is environmentally unkind, yeah, yeah, i guess your right, give it a rest, blah, blah blah now she's fixated on the correct pronunciation of "Lo Mein." Environmentally unkindness pushed into trash, plastic tray put on top, out i go. On way back notice once graffiti laced alley now a wild west gunslinger scene, i spend some time but leave before i have to defend myself and "draw".

The tendencies of his culture
Today i escaped work to have brunch with the Turk. I had a reconstituting steak and eggs breakfast and he had a Feta omelette. We talked about the war and the tendencies of his culture to treat women prisoners badly. After work I ran off to do laundry, whites and some colors. I thought Sunday night would have been slow but it was packed with everybody. Somehow i didn't bring the copy of Fahrenheit 451 i bought today with me, so i sat and watched some sappy women's movie on the Lifetime channel. On the walk back i noticed in the distance the bright flickering of the carousel being tested for next weeks carnival.
