What The?

Maybe I've been reading too much science stuff. I think I can still read and appreciate non-science books though. Finished Tucker Max's "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" and currently reading, actually on hiatus, "Practicing- A Musician's Return To Music". So far I am okay with it. Just okay with it since I don't really know most musical jargon. So whatever. I'm utilizing the minimal amount of music theory that I still remember.

Where am I going with this?

I recently read an article on Harper's and this was about Leo Tolstoy. I have no idea what they're talking about. I don't get it why Tolstoyan Scholars argue whether one of Tolstoy's novels resemble Alice in Wonderland. Who cares? And why are they fretting too much about the metaphor of Anna Karenina and Kreutz Sonata? Yes they do have ramifications with our society, world, whatever...but what does that do? It's pointless!

Man. No wonder I'm not an Art History major or some artsy pants. Oh, I remembered struggling in my humanities class during freshman year. I thought I'd make a good Liberal Arts Major...not!
