Had a panic attack yesterday because Jehane was stressing about her course. I think it's reasonable to assume that I'm not quite ready to go back to university myself, just yet.
Was okay after a little retail therapy, a shot of absinthe in the pagan shop, and a couple of camomile teas when I got home. Mmm, absinthe.
I spent half an hour in the music library trying to find a copy of Karajan's arrangement of Beethoven's Ninth with the Berlin Philharmonic. The woman tried to offload an inferior 1999 recording onto me until I pointed out that by then Karajan had been dead for ten years. We eventually tracked one down to the library in Leith, where it was on loan, and I might be able to reserve it when it comes back in. I wandered into HMV, ambled into the classical section, and the correct CD was the first thing I saw.
It turns out to be a bit formulaic and, well, y'know, German, but the opening few bars are nice.
