Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. Just had the worst lunch I've had in ages. Ostensibly it was chicken cordon bleu. "Tasteless" would be about the best I could say about it.

Always Anti-fascist!
How do you do that? Cardboard chicken? Sox, I hope not either. What happened is that her son(Who kinda sounds like he Ain't Right, but he's eight so it might be hard to tell) got in her car with the extra key and started it, and banged up her car by hitting a power box.(!!) Luckily nothing but her car was hurt. But I rely on her in the morning and stuff. I know it's hard when parents remarry, kid. But draw on the walls or something that Leaves Me Out, right?

I just had the leftovers of my Sous Kitchen Kung Pao Chicken. It came out much better than I thought it would--it really looked and tasted like good Chinese takeout, and held up really well as leftovers.

God, I'm tired! When I get like this, all I can think of is the old Bill Cosby routine, about hypnotizing his younger brother, Russell.
"You are sleepy."
"Yes, I am."
"You will go into the bedroom and smack Dad in the face."

He did it, too! I heard [SMACK!!], and then--"What the hell's wrong with you?!?"
And then he came in to get me...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Whoops!
The man who oversaw public affairs at the Federal Emergency Management Agency when it held a fake news conference last week will no longer be taking over as head of public relations for the director of national intelligence.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Are Valhall and Valhalla the same thing?
I believe so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What happened is that her son(Who kinda sounds like he Ain't Right, but he's eight so it might be hard to tell) got in her car with the extra key and started it, and banged up her car by hitting a power box.(!!) Luckily nothing but her car was hurt.
Was he trying to get chicken fingers? Because there was a kid like that on Ellen last week. If not, she needs better PR.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Question for the hivemind, but feel free to send me off to the music thread if it's more appropriate to ask there...
I have a character in my WIP who's a reasonably competent, though rusty, amateur musician. In another few chapters I intend to place a violin in his path and have him pick it up and try to remember some of the songs he used to play in earlier, more carefree times. For him, earlier, more carefree times would equal the 1780's and 90's, and he would've played solo or in very small string ensembles. Duets and quartets, but nothing orchestral.
So. Any ideas on composers and pieces my violinist might've played? Obviously they could come from before the 1780's, though if anyone just HAPPENS to know which pieces were most popular among aristocratic amateur musicians in the British Isles in 1790, that'd be wonderful, too. (With this group, you never know what kind of expertise you'll turn up!) I want to go digging through iTunes a bit and see if I can find a few appropriate signature pieces for my character...
