Just when you thought I couldn't be more of a nerd...

I have a new, unorthodox habit: I cannot stop listening to classical music. 

At home, classical music. In the car, classical music. On the ipod, classical music! I can officially ramble off the entire German lyrics of Der Hoelle Rache from the Magic Flute (Die Zauberfloete) and tell you what they mean. I can (sort of) tell when a symphony is by Beethoven,  Mozart or Verdi. I can generally identify which opera a random aria is from. 

I 100% blame my sister for this. 

Anne is studying to be an opera singer and took me to see one when I was in Boston. Now, I can clearly tell the difference between a nocturne, waltz, symphony, requiem, aria, etc. It is very depressing...
