Just now:  full
Listening to: Beethoven (piano sonata in E minor)
Temporarily put aside Malamud's The Assistant today (I often can only read about a dozen pages at a time anyway; it's strong stuff) and started reading Tony Attwood's book on Asperger's Syndrome. It's directed towards parents and to professionals having to do with our population, but I'm gaining things from it, I think.
Experimenting with the new release of the Fire instant messenger (one of the multi-transport programs that works like Trillian for the PC, for instance...); neither it nor Adium gets everything right (and I can't seem to download the older version of Proteus that would run on my machine, the newer ones, like so much else, requiring a more recent operating system :)...)
Apparently the symphony by the composer whose biography I'm working on (Ildebrando Pizzetti) was written to mark/was commissioned for the same event (or fictitious event, according to the Oxford Concise??- the 20th centenary of the Japanese Imperial Dynasty) as Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem was also commissioned for. (Unlike Britten's, Pizzetti's work was accepted, and it received its so far only recording at its premiere in Tokyo in 1940.)
