One of my favorite pieces to play on the piano is his "Prelude in C# minor, Opus 3, No. 2". Well, a piece written by a guy whose hands could spread to cover 13th will naturally present problems for hands that could barely cover 9th (my little hands *wah*). I simply omit some notes in a monster chords to make it work for me, but these guys came up ( Read more... )

I thought yesterday was a weird day.  I was feeling depleted energy-wise and was wondering if my lungs were acting up (I have asthma.).  This morning, I had to get up earlier than usual, so naturally I'm feeling sleepy about now and oddly enough, I still didn't feel recharged.  I checked one of my multiple e-mail inboxes and found out just what it ( Read more... )

My girl had this district-wide orchestra competition today and I had to drop her off at school at 6:30 AM (Middle school schedules are unreasonable! *_*), now I'm checking my friends' page way earlier than my usual (clearly bored out of my skull as well lol).

Mr. A_D and I were shopping for trees and plants for our yards at various places yesterday. We were hoping to find some Yoshino cherries, but it seemed that all our local suppliers are mostly offering "Kwanzan" cherries, "White Mountain" weeping cherries, or "Yae Beni Shidare" pink weeping cherries this spring. Slightly disappointed, I went to look ( Read more... )

Classic Disney  -- Some have total fillers that are nothing but drug-induced nonsense not suited for children...
( The meme lists a total of 197 movies. Still, I can think of some more. XD )

Second season of "Groomer Has It!" started last night on Animal Planet!  Yay!  Now I have something to watch on Saturdays aside from reruns of SNL.  XD  I normally never watch the so-called "reality" shows, but my daughter and I got completely hooked on this series last spring.  (And we were also hooked on "Ninja Warrior" then... Now that's a great ( Read more... )

At least, a coloring of a doodle for my Friday Doodle Club. XD --  a gift to my daughter since three of our cats are featured in the pic.

Who can tell me which of the cats in the picture are based on my indoor/outdoor cats? 
Extra points for guessing which one caused the "rude awakening" incident!  jk  XDD

Sleep was disrupted once again!!!  No, not the cat pee in the middle of the night. XD  It was the father and his grown son across the street at 4 in the morning...

Twinky was denied a use of the pet door (We locked it because of a stray that was persistantly trying to come in.) all night and somehow not only managed to forget where the litter box was, but had the audacity to use our bed as one.  (I guess she was PO'd that she was grounded and decided to let us know...)  Speechless... 0_0

I love spring and I love flowers. I sound totally girly, but I love the energy of spring. Sure I admire the quiet reserve of winter and comtemplative and glorious fall, and the vitality and fun of summer, but spring is my favorite season because I'm a spring hatchling myself. It's pretty pretty pretty and for some reason, the seasonal allergy is ( Read more... )
