The Grumpily Grumpy Grump Complaint Thread

I wrote a post and lost it. It was about the fact I have 8GB of hotspot data left for the month. I am using my iPad on my hotspot so my stepfather can watch his basketball game with no internet problems.
COMPLAINT : For the last 2 days I get this at ShareCG when I try to download anything . am I the only one having this issue?
and no download .
....yeah I feel the same about Root Beers these days as none which are commercially produced use Sassafras root anymore but substitute it with an artificial flavouring and often add carbonation.
i went to santa fe on a vacay in the 90s there was a street corner vendor selling a sassparilla soda from a cart. was incedibly tasty
birch rootbeer, the real stuff
...true, the term "root beer" is somewhat "generic" as it could be made with a variety of different roots or combinations thereof (Sarsaparilla and Birch being the most common), however, the classic version oft referred to and "imitated" today using artificial flavourings originally used sassafras root as its main ingredient. I still remember the "real" stuff we used to get at the A&W roadside stand on the Milwaukee Lakefront, True root beers were brewed and fermented like to beer and could be alcoholic depending on the methods used, and contained no added carbonation.as todays popular brands do. if it is labelled as a "soda" it is artificially carbonated.
I once had a home brewed root beer when I was at an event in Canada, It had a creamy head more like an ale and was less "fizzy" than today's counterparts having only as much carbonation as the natural brewing process created (i was quite reminiscent of the old A&W brew I remembered).
The reason why sassafras root was banned for use in commercially produced beverages after 1960 was due to scientific study that pointed to it producing causing liver disorders (basically "megadosing" lab rats). The ban was partially lifted due to the supplement act of 1994 and no longer applies to home or micro brewing (A&W did not yet produce their root beer for wide distribution in stores until several years later).
Complaint: It looks like the weather in Cleveland next Sunday afternoon (the 17th) will be in the 30s but sunny and there are seats for the symphony still available and pre-paid parking under the building still available too. So, why am I complaining? I just checked what the other pieces being played will be. It's not surprising that there will be a premiered work by some new composer, which is aways hit or miss
. But the other classic work is Haydn's Symphony #34. For the people who pay attention to my musical ravings now and then in this forum you might have noticed that I've never ever gushed about anything by Haydn. 
It's not for want of trying to find something really gushable about but I find Haydn to be almost as boring as most operas. Yes, Haydn composed something like 104 symphonies, but it's like he's the "Little Engine That Could" and just kept trying and trying. He had some good ideas but it took Beethoven to take his best riffs, rework them and push him over the hump to lasting fame. 
Whenever I find myself in an inescapable situation and I have to listen to some Haydn I always end up counting the crystals in the chandelier or heads in the audience. 
However, I do thank the man for keeping his symphonies short.
I really want to go to the concert next Sunday to hear the Tchaikovsky 5th Symphony so I dug into YouTube and found Haydn's Symphony #34 and listened to it to be prepared to listen for the "good" parts. Arghhh... tinkle, tinkle, twiddle, twiddle, dull, dull.
Tchaikovsky is alive, vibrant, decisive, aggressive, emotional.
Haydn is, um, barely breathing and mererly "interesting". 
The middle piece of the afternoon will be BERND RICHARD DEUTSCH - Okeanos (for organ and orchestra) — U.S. premiere
Then finally it will be the Tchaikovsky 5th Symphony. Yay!
I think I'll wait one more day to be a little more confident of the weather. I'd hate to spend for a ticket then have to decide whether to drive 300 miles in snow or waste the ticket.

...but I love the Haydn keyboard concertos, even played a couple of them. The beauty of these works is there were written in the transition period between the Harpsichord and early Pianofortes. The D Major concerto uses figured bass and in several parts duplicated notes between the left and right hand that meant performing on dual keyboards. In the score the work was labelled for "Pianoforte oder Clavicembalo" the latter referring to the Harpsichord.
I also enjoy several of his symphonies.
...OK need ot head off to bed. lt's already 02:23 (well actually 01:23 before setting the clocks ahead).
Yeah, lose and hour of sleep but at least I'm retired so I don't have to worry about getting up for work on Monday.
I was having nightmares of getting lost looking for my home so I woke up.
To each his own.
But my excuse is that I'm more of a fan of the "Romantic" era of music. Let's call it between Beethoven and Rachmaninoff. Mozart was earlier than Beethoven but he was OK because he was such a genius, ahead of his time, and put some beauty and playfulness into his works. But, for me, most of the early music (<1800) is academic exercises. Give me Beethoven, Brahms, Dvorak, Chopin, Debussy, Ravel, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Gliere, Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Schumann, Liszt, Wagner, Borodin, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Elgar, Dukas, Glazunov, Sibelius, Respighi, Saint-Saens, Grieg, Kalinnikov, Mahler, Stravinsky, Ippolitov-Ivanov, Rachmaninoff, etc. Music that grabs you by the emotions and brings you to tears. Whereas, the music before 1800 just doesn't turn me on. Nor does "Modern" classical music do anything for me. It's like those horrible glass & painted aluminum cereal box buildings of the 1950s and '60s, an assault to the senses and devoid of beauty. Merely academic and "interesting". Which I must admit is a tad less shocking than modern rock music which tends to grab you by the balls and is completely devoid of "interesting".
watched we bought a zoo. sweet movie matt damon not killing anybody.
xmen apocalypse was exhausting movie. sucks to pay 20 bucks for a movie i'll never watch again.
the cute school scene in antman n wasp
I am trying to remember which one that was. I think I have it on my apple movies thing AKA my iPad. or is that a movies anywhere movie? Yep just checked and it is on my Amazon too. Wait is Beautiful Mind a Movies anywhere thing? or did I get it on Amazon? I thought I bought it on VuDu.
I like Movies Anywhere and wish they have more movies that are available for that program. It lets me buy a video on VuDu and then watch it on Amazon, or buy it on iTunes and watch it on VuDu. I just noticed something. Movies Anywhere has a profile section
...I find a number of Mr. Bach's as well as Mr. Messiaen's works stir emotions for myself as well. Yeah it's a personal thing. As a trained pianist and organist, I do agree the High Romantic and Late Romantic (pre impressionist) were definitely the greatest eras for both instruments.
Procrastination seems fun idea until you run out of time to procrastinate.
I was going to procrastinate today but I put it off until tomorrow.

I'm sad and grumpy for no apparent reason. At least I have a jar of Nutella keeping me company. Upon further reflection, maybe it is binging on Nutella that is making me sad and grumpy due to a sugar crash. I probably should have eaten something healthier.

I feel like a big idiot and useless.
Complaint: Bummer! I waited too long for symphony in Cleveland. No parking available under the hall now.
Oh well, I was stretching my budget anyway. And some unexpected expenses came up over the weekend so I guess it's all for the best that I forego yet another musical mini-adventure.
I can still look forward to summer concerts at Chautauqua for half the price and a lot less driving. 
Although, an ubersized wooden open-air gazeboish amphitheater has not the same ambiance as an ornate gilded Concert hall. 
Bob Newhart has two words for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow0lr63y4Mw
....yeah kind of like walking or running in place on a treadmill. Lots of effort to go nowhere. Sometimes feels like life.
...ugh, this seems to have bene going on for a while.
Hopefully the meds you are getting will help.
...wow sunny, 57°, and not windy. Heading out for a walk to the other market and a cup of coffee on the way.
