Que legasti il mio pensier

So I'm sitting in the library and I SHOULD be reading Descartes' Discourse on Method because I have to write a 4 page paper on it for tomorrow, but reading blogs is just so much more interesting. I glanced over a few of my older entries to see where I have been and where I am headed and noticed that my first couple blogs were extremely random and kind of jumped around. But as I've developed as a blogger, they have become much more systematic and focused. I just wanted to set my followers minds at ease by letting you all know that even though my writings have become much more clear, I still have many many pretzels in my head that have been driving me crazy as I attempt to stop the circular, salty swirling thoughts in my prefrontal cortex. [Look at that! I still remember something from Physiological Psychology last semester!]

While these thoughts are incredibly frustrating and starting to get a bit soggy and stale..they HAVE contributed to my ability to interpret one of my songs from my repertoire for this semester. So I guess that's a plus. Here's a bit of culture for you:

Caro laccio dolce nodo
Que legasti il mio pensier

Rough Translation:

Dear string, sweet knot
That binds my thoughts


^^ It's a love song by F. Gasparini that talks about someone being imprisoned, but content in their thoughts of their love. I have yet to decide if these people are actually a couple yet, or if it is an unexpressed longing.

Angie, you are hilarious.

Example: "I just wanted to set my followers minds at ease by letting you all know that even though my writings have become much more clear, I still have many many pretzels in my head that have been driving me crazy as I attempt to stop the circular, salty swirling thoughts in my prefrontal cortex."

Genius. Pure, LOL-level entertaining genius.
