I think I am going crazy. (My antics in Cristina's log notwithstanding. Those are mostly a consequence of being intellectually bored and separated from Dasha far too much. She is a stabilizing force.)
I am going crazy because I think Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Eminem are artists (of sorts.) Lady Gaga is Madonna's heir, though not equal. (Galton would have something to say about this, but I digress.) I think she is great. Not perfect, but certainly better than Camille Paglia regards her to be. (Camille, I think, may be feeling a bit constricted by her strenuous feminism, but what do I know?)
Katy unleashed "Teenage Dream" which I think out ironies Fountains of Wayne. It is just swimming in delicious irony (at least in my mind.)
And finally Eminem. While he can be distasteful, he came up with "Love the Way You Lie" which, to me, produces a new sort of contrapuntal power. There have been other male/female "duets" like that recently, but with Eminem, the percussive ferocity is something to behold.

After the drive back from Rye, I stopped and procured a burrito, in honor of Ian. It was large and tasty.
While I cannot compete with his A-game, I can enjoy my amateurish consumption.

Note
After the awards dinner (9:30ish) I drove to Rye, NY, to the MS global hedge fund event.
The last one I attended was here. This one was at the Hilton Rye Town Hotel. I know this was to show penitence and all, but with the ceiling almost falling on me and meetings in hastily converted bedrooms, this was really farce. I hope everyone appreciated the irony as much as I did.
Anyway, no training.

Mostly at LL. Back and forth. Easy effort, but some climbing.
Not map, but I had a compass.
Arena is fetching. The forest is intimidating.
