National Put Quotes in Your Blog Month (and other random things)

I am pleased to participate in the fourth (whoa, already?) National Put Quotes in Your Blog Month (henceforth NPQiYBM), even though every year I intend to save up quotations for February, and every year I forget. Every post this month will have a quotation in it, though, so there.

In totally random news, just because I am so excited about it, I finally took my violin to get its stripped screw replaced, got it back today, and now I have a violin with working tuner pegs for the first time in my adult life. It is so awesome I cannot even tell you. I've only ever had the one full-sized violin, and the violin shop we used to take it to for tune-ups apparently didn't know the right thing to do, or lubricant to use, or something. I was vaguely aware that no one else seemed to have these kinds of problems, but then I kind of thought I was just awful at violin-tuning until the guy at the shop frowned and said, "Wow, this is really bad."

In other totally random news, [personal profile] ricardienne linked me to the Vorkosiverse Impromptu Poetry Battle! (The epigram above is satirized in that thread, in case you were wondering why it is here.)
