(no subject)
I'm becoming aware of how real my internet addiction really is. The fact that most of the world is addicted doesn't make it ok. Also my attention span sucks. I sit down to listen to some music and before I know it I'm bring up gmail or facebook. I'm gonna make this better. And yeah, here I am. Shut up. I'm listening to music too. *snort* No, but really, I'm gonna keep posting.
I had a lesson with Ab and Ig today. Ig showed me some scores to some pieces she wrote for Queen Mab trio and we listened and talked about it. It was really interesting and educational, but I have to admit for a lot of the recording I was sitting there basically wetting myself because Lori's solos were so intense and amazing and omg that's all I want in life, to be that good.
Then Ab and I went over the piece I started working on and I was really not happy with it. Again, though, learned lots from it. There's the kind of learning that's excstatic and easy, there's the kind that hurts. They're both necessary, I think, and this trip there's a good amount of the hurty kind, but that's the way it goes. I got caught up in the structure of the piece, I didn't pay too much attention the material I was plugging into it and then playing it was kind of painful. I need to go back and fix it.
I went the place where I'm going to be catsitting starting Friday and met kitty and saw the place and went over things. Ah, it's beautiful, right on the canal, right on the edge of a great neighbourhood called Negen Straatjes that I was instructed to visit. The music collection is enormous, I can't wait to sink my teeth into it and kitty is adorable and sweet.
I was debating checking out an open mic night at Sappho's but I'm lazy and it's getting late. I dunno what to do. hm, I think I'll go.
