Swell day.

Another enjoyable morning. Didn`t wake up at six feeling wide awake today, which annoyed me.
Read an interesting piece about the power struggles between national foreign departments, national executive departments and the newly empowered EU foreign affairs establishment. Whither goes the centralization of power? Gee whiz i so do like executives who try to become the all-adjucating structure in society.

Other than that i got a friendly reminder about the fragility of modern media from a member of the Long Now foundation in AmSci. I used to be worried about our ability to recreate our past. Whilst improvement in the methods of storage still fascinate me, (and its really weird to see comparisons of data stored pr sq/mt for different media), i`ve lost all fright relative to the recreatability of our contemporary environment.

My composer-focus for the next week will be Bartók, in a somewhat haphazard collection containing what i found in the shelf at the public library. Which will hopefully entertain and enliven me.

Now I`m just procrastinating. Should be doing math tasks, but am not currently too enthusiastic. Maybe some chocolate will help. Unfortunately we`re fresh out of good chocolate, I`ll have to suggest some purchases then.
