I felt terrible today. Too much e-mail checking, too much ice cream, too little sleep, too much self-pity, too much myspace. Also a walk in the rain, less than half an hour at the piano, laying in the dark on the living room floor, inner debate about what the hell to do, and an awkward conversation with my father. School starts in one week and for ( Read more... ) -

I'm starting to feel much better about the Takemitsu. We made some progress yesterday. I've been practicing it all sorts of ways, playing it heavy, thinking about the clusters, getting to know the mood of the chords, noticing the way spacing changes the feel completely, working to create a beautiful sound and atmosphere, etc ( Read more... ) -

I didn't do it consciously. I was thinking about my junior recital and whether I really will have time for it or not when I realized ( Read more... ) -

Two wonderful summer days I have had. Slow hours in the park on a blanket with shakespeare actors clinking swords off in the background. Stepping through the wading pool. Creaky old charming kerry hall. Talking with paris about subjects I'd been neglecting to explore and thus finding aspects of self I'd forgotten. Silly movie with Mike. Basketball ( Read more... ) -

Today I had a good time playing in the gamelan at graduation, except that we had to load the numerous and unwieldy instruments out of school, into the cathedral, out of the cathedral, and back into school. School is going to be different without the people that are leaving, it's kind of sad. I wonder what the class next year will be like. I'm ( Read more... )
