Mostly Music
I've opened up a new blog to post (mostly popular) music reviews. It's called Grace Note Bend. The first few entries probably won't be very good, but I hope my writing improves over time.
In other news, I'm routinely frightened by how much information I have to store in my head. It's happened in the past that I've put certain thoughts on hold, ( Read more... ) -

COOKING UPDATE!
Today I made blueberry pie, my very first pie! I used this recipe for the filling and crust. The dough was a bit of a pain to make because I wasn't sure what consistency it needed to be (and also because I dropped my first batch after attempting to balance it on a carton of eggs, resulting in a string of profanities directed at the ( Read more... ) -

In recent years, classical music has taken over my creative thought, to the point where I've been seriously thinking of learning composition. Why not?
