I went to visit a friend in the hospital, and her hospital is way too far away from me! It's on the other side of Los Angeles. So it took all day to get there and back, and then I collapsed into bed when I got home and took a nap for about an hour. She's doing pretty well, and I did get some studying done on the bus. (Bartok wrote 6 string quartets between 1908 and 1939, characterized by their tight structure and unusual timbres including harmonics, percussive effects, and quarter-tones in the sixth one....)

I also finished some desk chores this morning.
