9185 Jan 23 2012: Music isn't just tinkling on the keyboard to find something good. It is repeating and emphasizing those good things once you find them.
9184 Jan 23 2012: Every piece of music is a balance of repetition and novelty. Too much repetition is boring. Too much novelty is chaos.

9069 Jan 16 2012: Still, I haven't given up entirely on nudism. Perhaps Haulover in the summer would offer a better class of clientele. More perky boobs!
9068 Jan 16 2012: Regarding bikini design, less is usually more, until you reach a tipping point where less is less and you say, "That's just gross!"

9066 Jan 16 2012: Turns out there's nothing LESS erotic than a nude beach. It's human morphology, nothing more.
9065 Jan 16 2012: Nudity is always sexier in the imagination than in real life. That's why bikinis are better than nothing at all.

9045 Jan 16 2012: Never mind! The sun came back! Still nude!
9044 Jan 16 2012: Air temp is a little chilly too when the clouds block the sun. Almost enough to drive me to non-nudity.
