So familiar...

Double 0 steel wool.
Snow for breakfast. Powderedsugar.
Snowman caked to the bottom of my boots.

I'm worried I've damaged my ears somehow. A-flat3 to C4 makes my ears buzz... and rattles my brain a little. Millie believes I've reached some higher level of understanding sound.
During class I like to doodle tribal eyeballs and make dumb comments, but I definitely know what's going on. My new favorite thing to do is pull the action out of the piano and clean it. It's really satisfying. Getting used to tuning is so surreal and mind-numbingly beautiful. I'm so smitten with this craft that I didn't notice how cold I was getting until this morning.

I'm learning that as long as my ears, fingertips, and toes stay relatively warm, the air feels awesome.

While I was walking down Mozart yesterday, it got windy and snowy all at once... and my ipod chose Jeff Buckley's cover of Hallelujah and then his cover of Strange Fruit... it was painfully gorgeous. I thought of all the people I could have shared that moment with.

Then I tricked myself into thinking about how much it sucks that I haven't been around people who really know me well in such a long time.
I miss my Rayle and Geese.
