New Profile Pic Jan. 30, 2011

It's sad to see this blog of mine going inactive. So to keep things pumping, here's my recently touched-up (but not too much) pic which will serve as my Profile Pic @ FB.

Orhan Pamuk

My student Maximillian Stanley Treasure Flynn came to my room yesterday to hand me this gift. An addition to my growing list of books to read this year.

K'nuckles

The reason why I was up very late last night was this: an amateur's version of K'nuckles from the cartoon "The Wondrous Misadventures of Flapjack". I downloaded quite a number of episodes and I'm loving it from its scraggly sketches to its gross-out humor. There are times when I actually had the itch to grab hold of a pencil and doodle on a sheet of paper. Nothing much these days. A few days ago we went to watch a concert by Albert Tiu and Michael Sussmann. He played a Grieg Sonata (C minor), Brahms (No. 3) and Franck Sonata in A major. The pianist also played some Chopin etudes arranged by Godowski (which I heard were uber-difficult pieces). Ok thats about it for this week or month. I'm just trying to keep this blog alive despite the inane content. One can really be in a block despite the amount of things happening. I didn't feel like writing actually.
