Yoga = win
Yoga makes me such a happy Ben. Acroyoga last night was awesome. I based Star by popping up to it, which was pretty sweet. I also got to fly! Normally I seem to end up working with people who suck at basing, so I only get to fly minimally. This time I worked some with a guy who was pretty good at it, so I got to fly much more complex stuff, ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Yesterday was one of those days that I arrived at school at 7:15am and left at around 11:30PM. Maybe things like that are why I still have this stupid cold. On the upside, it was a good practice day. It hit my goal of 4 hours. So, it is realistically possible to go to all my classes, practice 4 hours, and do some homework. It just means that I ( Read more... ) -
Paradise Lost
About 2 years ago I posted about Paradise Lost, an "Opera Electronica" written by Eric Whitacre. There are finally recordings available!

It's all about balance...
Today was a very productive day, and I feel good about it. I had over 5 hours of really solid, worthwhile piano practicing. If you count the time spent playing stuff to prep for the classes I teach tomorrow, then it would be over 7 hours. I'm not really sure what was different, but I was more able to remain focused and motivated while playing. ( Read more... ) -
Naps
What I intended to be a 60-90 minute nap actually lasted 4 and a half hours. Oops. I guess I needed more sleep than I thought. I had planned on going to bed for real in not that long, so I guess a change of plans is in order. -
Picaturs!
I finally uploaded the rest of my pictures from last summer. You can find them here on Flickr or Facebook if you prefer. Sometime soon I'll post some of those directly to this here blog along with some story to go with them, but in case you're just dying to see, your wish has finally been fulfilled. I know, you were holding your breath. I'm ( Read more... ) -
Halloween!
EDIT: per popular request, I have downsized the images. Larger size still available on flickr if you really want it.
After failing at costume ideas, I decided to just make something up. Lacking accessories and props, I went with makeup:
