keeping up with the Joneses

...of cyberspace. After another blogging sabbatical, I shall resume my favorite past-time of cyber-soliloquy--ing. Due to another upcoming piano performance w/ other musicians featuring pieces by Johannes Brahms, I am rekindling my deep deep love for Impressionism.

Might I suggest that you spend some leisure time perusing "The Everyday lives of the French Impressionists" which I discovered after watching a YouTube video of Erik Satie's popular piano piece Gymnopedie (which I can't locate now...someone gave the blog link on the comments section of that video).



For the entertainment of my favorite imaginary cyber audience, I share with you an excellent depiction of Gymnopedie using Impressionist art. [click here to view YouTube video; embed code was disabled by the creator of the video]

Also, I have been having the oddest fixation on "imaginary numbers" after following A Twitter account with the following image as a tiled background:

And that "i" is the symbol of an imaginary number such as the square root of -1. Now if someone compliments you using hifaluting mathematical notations, do not easily be flattered, because that notation may actually mean that it's "imaginary."
