I want to write a paper where I don’t bs at all. Every single paper I’ve written has at least one bs point…sigh. The one I’ve written recently was about Schoenberg and I was getting tired towards the end, so I started making up nonsense. I said, “…Other than the fish, there is only one lively creature, the piccolo bird in measure 251…” PICCOLO BIRD.

Today is Valentine’s day.
