Иew heading
hope you like it....obviously a combination of bad Russian and bad maths, like most Marxism. The backwards 'N' is not of course an 'N' in Cyrillic, but a vowel that sounds like 'ee'. The Ø is the null set, the empty set, the set that contains nothing and operates as the basis for a formal theory of numbers. And, er, that's as far as I'll go, I think. Complaints to the usual address.
In other news: thinking of getting my terribly bad Nietzsche tattoo removed. I was 19. I should have known better. It's written in my best friend's handwriting, though, which is quite touching, but, er, really, if I am ever to be A PROPER GROWN UP PERSON, I should probably sort these things out.
Plus: I get to play oboe tomorrow. That least attractive of instruments ('mummy, can I play the flute?'), it now holds a certain charm for me: damn, I could have been the next Heinz Holliger. And jazz oboe, that much misunderstood genre, is just about ready for some sort of revival, much like late Sartre and the novels of DM Thomas (eep, could I be any more retro-neo-zeitgeist-y. Errr, um, eek, etc...). So, this Greek composer needs some oboe samples for his neo-classical post-rock opuses (or 'opera', whatever the plural is) - wish I had a cor anglais really: lower, spookier, and so on. But will attempt to prove that I can 'improvise' and not just follow scores...any jazz tips gratefully received.
