Feb. 27th, 2005 02:22 pmI took the Poilitical Party meme quiz. I scored 92% Anarchist, 50% Dem, 8% Rep. I'm not an anarchist by any stretch. I came up an anarchist partially because of my views and how they meshed with the questions on the quiz, but more because I can't give a straight answer. I'm much more inclined to say meh and answer noncomittally to a lot of questions, even if, given some time to think about it, I might think much more strongly one way or another. This is a bad habit.
In other news, I cleaned my room. It needed it. I have lots of space again. I can see the carpet again. This is happy.

On Music Theory

nautliuspq with Music 12, I'm coming to realize how much better I am at recognizing the function of chords than I used to be. I think this is a byproduct of Music 15. This is a much more useful form of analysis - knowing that a chord is a dominant prep is much more useful and insightful than knowing a chord is IV6. It's difficult to do this without a good foundation, but it's a much better way of analyzing music and something that should be taught to theory students sooner rather than later, I think.
