The sky's the limit
I'm feeling a lot better than I was yesterday, in case anyone was worried. Discussions about the appropriate tempo for sacrament meeting music are still ongoing, but very slowly because I'm pretty sure both people involved (myself and the music director) are afraid of other people and therefore take time to respond to text messages.
In other news...there's not much other news. We did see a question on Quora that was asking if it's worthwhile to learn French, and since we're currently obsessed with France, obviously we think the answer is yes, but we would think the answer is yes anyway. In our opinion, learning new stuff is always worthwhile. It recently occurred to us that not everyone just wants to get better at everything, and that seems odd.
I mean, we're lazy, and we're not passionate about everything, so for example, I think I could live a full and happy life never knowing how to skin a rabbit. (At least, I sure hope that's the case, because if I ever found myself in a post-apocalyptic world where I had to skin a rabbit or starve to death...well, there's a good chance I'd starve.) And it's not like I'm always going out of my way to learn new things. But if something strikes my interest, why not go learn more about it? And if I find myself wishing I was better at identifying chord progressions so I could transcribe music and make cool arrangements, why not do some ear training? I may get distracted from it and stop doing it at some point, but if it's what I want to do with my time, it's worthwhile.
Today I'm thankful for finishing work early, making a little more progress in the time-consuming Zelda game, there being lots of cool stuff to learn about, living in a time where it's really easy to find ways to learn about stuff, and getting to watch Perfection again.
