I don't remember saying all of that, but I probably did...

Is it wrong for me to say that, in reading my friends page for the last week today, it seems like we're moving pretty consistently? I think predictably isn't the right word, not only as it could be interpreted to have some kind of a negative connotation but also because I just have the sense of lives in perpetual motion. I don't know if it's just ( Read more... )

The jazz lesson that I had on Monday was really invigorating. I think that when I last studied jazz "seriously," I hadn't really developed much of an ear or much theory. So-called "jazz theory" is not exactly the same as traditional western classical conservatory theory, but is essentially the same knowledge with a different dialect. And all the ( Read more... )

I'm about to break into the 170's in weight loss. I don't believe I have been in that area since my sophomore year of college.

One of my counselors advised me once not to make to-do lists because there's always a lot "to-do," and it can be more depressing to have a physical manifestation of how much we fail to accomplish on a daily basis. True enough, but I think I need some kind of way of prioritizing what I do in a day, and remembering what exactly it is that I have "to- ( Read more... )

Slowly, and I mean SLOWLY getting back into the swing of things. This disassociation of day-to-day consistency from my life that took place this summer continues to bleed vaguely into the symphony season. By October the season will be in full swing, but we're still doing specials and pops stuff for now. Does anyone know much about Antony and the ( Read more... )
