Today I suffered through the most boring art class of my entire life. First we had to take an easy test. Then we had to sit there for two hours straight without a break while he slooooooooowly commented on some people's homework, one at a time, detail by detail, not involving or engaging any of us. And we had to pretend like we were listening and interested. Without my crossword it was slow, painful torture.

But when I got home, my Guardian Angel had emailed me her NYTimes Premium Crossword password, and I printed this week's out. Thank you, Jebus, my suffering is at an end.

Now I have to memorize about fifteen classical and romantic pieces of music, all with names like "Symphony No. 40 in G Minor", or else all composed by people named Schu-something. And all with very similar dates. 1787 (Eine Klein Nacht Musik, NOT written by Sondheim). 1798 (Beethoven's String Quartet in C Minor). 1788 (Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G Minor). 1791. (Haydn's Surprise Symphony in G Major.)

At least one of them is Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, first movement, 1808, allegro con brio. But I bet you a million dollars that one won't even be on the test.
