Ibuprofen Idiosyncrasy in Hello

I popped four ibu’s last night before I fell asleep and woke up to a less swollen knee. I’m just gonna have to take it real easy for now.
Met with Russel Crumbley today of the law firm of Crumbley and Blackwell. His fee is $12k. Instead I paid $5k for one of the…six?…seven?…other lawyers that work under him. Super nice guy. Just hope I can get out of this unscathed.
I think I’m 11 (or 12) days sober. Have not been wanting alcohol AT ALL due to dealing with my knee. I’m actually afraid if I did get drunk I’d fuck it up worse, knowing my luck.
So, I’ve been keeping it elevated and gaming. Just rebeat Horizon Zero Dawn and now playing the sequel that came out this year, Horizon Forbidden West. Knowing what I know now of the sequel there were SO many hints and storyline drops in the first one about what would happen in the sequel. I like going back and learning these things. Like rereading an old book and catching things you missed the first time.
Right now I’m just waiting on the NSAID to kick in to dull my knee down to where I can get comfortable enough to sleep.
Oh ya, trying to take a crap when you can’t fully bend one of your legs is not an experience I recommend.
Nite y’all!

Do you like classical music? I find it's good when I want to think.
J.E. Sleepy-Eyed John ⋅ December 09, 2022
Most definitely! When I worked third shift I had a classical playlist I'd listen to when I got really busy. You'd catch me air composing. 😁

... well now i want some classical music recommendations from y'all. I could never get into it as a kid/teen/young adult, but I've realized in the last few years I could probably dig it. BUT IDK WHERE TO START EVEN
J.E. One Angry Dwarf ⋅ December 09, 2022
Here's a start of a flash mob doing Ode To Joy.
I'll be coming back with more composers later.

Albinoni adagio. Beethovens 5th 1st movement. I usually just listen to a collection of 100 "best" and skip through anything I don't feel like. It takes time but eventually you understand it. 1812 overture and 6th symphony by thaichovsky are good too. I dunno. I got into classical music through Looney Tunes cartoons. :)
J.E. Sleepy-Eyed John ⋅ December 09, 2022
I love the 1812 Overture.
Here's a version with a choir.

This next one is more of a jazz composition conducted by Frank Zappa.

Yet another Zappa composition but done by a symphony Orchestra.

I liked the choral version, but didn't love it.
I'm assuming the other two have nothing to do with the 1812 overture. I don't really understand Frank Zappa, can't say I've ever been a fan. People talk about him like he's a genius though.
J.E. Sleepy-Eyed John ⋅ December 10, 2022
Well, Zappa is a self taught composer. I dig his stuff 'cause most of it has a jazz undertone which I love jazz. And no, the other two are just two music only songs he wrote.
Sleepy-Eyed John J.E. ⋅ December 10, 2022
Right hmmmm. I feel I could learn about music from you.
I've only heard a bit of jazz, Miles Davis and John Coltrane, and what I heard I liked, but I barely 'get' it.

I grew up on punk rock and ska. Ska lead me into an interest in horns. Ergo into classical and jazz.
This is saxophonist Cannonball Adderly leading the band with Miles Davis on trumpet. This is a fun song to relax to.

That's pretty good. I liked that. Did your parents listen to ska and punk rock?
J.E. Sleepy-Eyed John ⋅ December 10, 2022
Dad was classic rock, ma was oldies, eldest brother was metal/hair metal and middle brother was 90's rap. I kinda got a well rounded music education growing up.
Sleepy-Eyed John J.E. ⋅ December 10, 2022
Nice. That's cool. Similar here.
