a passing moment of cynicism

The other night, while writing a CD review for a magazine, I referred to the Second Viennese School of composers in the first paragraph. And I thought to myself, "All those years of school so that I might use a phrase like this properly in a sentence that I'm not even getting paid to write." Well, somebody's got to do it.

i think all moments are passing. this is a good antidote to cynicism. also, i want to read your review. also, admit it: the cynicism would be worse if you were getting paid.
