Today I'm chained to the desk, doing a mountain of paperwork. (When I've got everything typed up, there will be about 450 pages to file.) No one else in the shop likes my music, so normally I don't push the issue. But if I'm going to be at this desk for the next six hours typing, I'll be damned if I listen to the same crap songs I've been listening to for the whole boat ride.

So I hooked my laptop up to the shop's speakers. I started with some techno, but that wasn't the right mood for hours of typing. I switched to classical.

It got depressing very quickly. The 1812 Overture came on, and someone asked "Is that from a movie? Cause I think I've heard it before!" I had to concede that "Yes, that particular song has probably been in a movie or two."

And now, I've got Peer Gynt going. Chavez was getting his hair cut, and I think In the Hall of the Mountain King was making him nervous. Maybe I should switch to Stravinski's Rite of Spring and freak them all out.
