Some Sh*t Never Gets Old

For example:





And! The smell of Vermont air.  So happy to be back!

I want him to be inked onto my skin forever

Hi friends,

After a little bit of unsuccessful research, I decided to turn to you.  Considering I spent my whole life around musicians, I hope someone can help:

Does anyone know where the original manuscript of Beethoven's string quartet Op. 135 lives?  

Or... Does it even exist any longer?  Even a facsimile would be okay.  I just need the 4th movement.  

This is a tattoo I've considered for a little longer than a year now.  The idea came from Kathryn, my longtime roommate and friend, years ago when I wasn't too deep in my Beethoven phase (can you believe it?) (I'm a late bloomer).  Over the years, I got more and more obsessed with Beethoven, and more inspired by his philosophy in the music, along with what was happening to him during the time he was writing this quartet.  After quitting cello, listening to so much amazing music this summer, and reading about his life, I feel the time has come!

Do you know what I'm getting?

Routine

For the first time in my life, I feel like I have a daily routine.  Surprisingly as fuck, I don't hate it at all.

And not surprisingly at all, I feel like having a blog makes me feel super narcissistic.

The end.
