Talk about busy

I leave Boston, and now they choose to trot out all the rarely-heard masterpieces. Great. Next year, the BSO will perform

• Mahler's Symphony No. 6
• Saint-Saëns's Symphony No. 3 ("Organ")
• Dutilleux's Symphony No. 2 ("Le Double")

And here's next year's plan for the Tanglewood Festival Chorus:

• late October: Tippett, A Child of Our Time
• early December: Stravinsky, Symphony of Psalms
• mid January: Beethoven, Missa solemnis
• late February: Schoenberg, Gurrelieder
• early March: Beethoven, Symphony No. 9
• mid April: Berlioz, Requiem
• early May: Stravinsky, Oedipus Rex

That's just not fair. It really isn't. There should be a law against something like this.

Not that I'm greedy or anything. . . .

So, I've noticed that Google recently doubled the size of their Gmail boxes from 1000 MB to 2000+ MB. On the other hand, I've also noticed that they seem to be slowly creeping upward. At the beginning of the week, I had just under 2 real GB (2047 MB). This morning, I had 2068 MB, and now, as I write this, I have 2070 MB.

This makes me wonder: why is there a slow creep upwards in the size of my quota? Are they just adding new space in GB and TB quotients, and spreading the wealth around? You'd think they'd stop at 2000 MB and be done with it. But hey, like I said, if Gmail wants to give me more space, that's they're perogative.

[Also, if any acquaintances out there are interested in getting a Gmail account, let me know. I've got lots of invites.]
