Agitato
Prokofiev started swearing about his old school, because his principal had taken drastic measures to eradicate the school’s four decades long history. I have never seen Proko so violent in his language before.
At the same time I saw this link to a quiz in Quizilla and tried it. It was titled “What Musical Instrument Are You?”, and here’s my result:
“Ahh...the melodious sounds of the French horn. You certainly know how to charm the wood-land creatures out of their homes. You lavish in big beautiful circumstances, and love anything that’s decorative and royal. Everything has got to be perfect, and don't deny it; we KNOW you’re the person in your band that ended up in a school of music”
I gave Proko high-five: he and I are the same instruments. I think most of the results are pretty true. I’m quite a melodious creature, although sometimes I like to destroy the melody and work out the fragments within. Charming, I doubt so. More like offensive… perhaps I should be the cymbals? Big, beautiful circumstances: yes, I used to adore large, rich and dense sounds from the orchestra and the piano. No wonder I love Brahms (his music’s like thick chocolate fudge – whenever I eat that I think of him). Yes, I am a demanding perfectionist: I can write and rewrite a composition or arrangement till more ten versions until I am finally happy with it.
Before I went online I watched “Who Wants To Steal A Million?”, about this contestant who cheated his way through the fifteen questions on the game show “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”. And goddamn it: he’s a major. What kind of fucking people the army produce? He may cheat on this show: one day he’s going to cheat on his country. It was very obvious he should have just lost graciously: he kept mouthing variations of “I don’t know” during the game, and wasting everybody’s time. I could see the host getting frustrated that the asshole kept changing his answers so many times. And then strangely he always seemed to get the correct answer even when he knows nuts about the question, or to quote his words in one of the questions: “Craig David… I’ve never heard of Craig David before…”, before he finally chooses Craig David as his answer, which was correct.
I’m sure it was greed. They are greedy for the million dollars. The Major wants to buy his children each a pony. He’s trying to spoil those little brats. Before he knows it he’ll be cajoled into joining “Survivor” or “Fear Factor” so that each of his little brats can get a Mercedes or a BMW each. It’s not that they are poor and desperate or whatsoever. He’s a fucking major, and a major earns God knows how much by serving in the military. Furthermore he served on some outpost in Bosnia. Well, you could also say it was the wife’s and brother-in-law’s revenge as well: both had participated in the game and only won $320,000. Clearly for them that was insufficient, and now they’re pining their hopes on their pride and joy of the army to finish off the million dollars. Then the family can own horses and ponies. ¶ 1/08/2004 10:13:00 pm
