That was kinda cool.
One interesting tidbit related to the topic is this: Beethoven was reported to be quite slovenly. It was even said that he never changed clothes and his friends would occasionally sneak into his filthy apt. throw out the old clothes and leave new. He never noticed.
Heh, my husband and mother actually does that to me - they sneak into my wardrobe and throw away the little clothes I have if they think it's got too many holes. I'm decent looking today (at least I think so) but I've had many years where I looked a bit like a bum. I was using my energy on many interesting projects and visual appearence just had very low priority. It wasn't before my husband started to get grumpy at me for not haveing any clothes for going out (hehe cool, does that mean I can stay at home then?
