Updates on my life, whether you want to know or not:

I’m back from playing for my saxophonist at the Provincial music festival. He played super, and so did the quartet, but they all only got runner up. But whatever. I’m very proud of all the saxophonists. Although we had a bit of an adventure getting back! Also I now know about five times as much Queen as I did before going. I also watched a whole episode of The Daily Show, which I’d never seen before at all, and I ate way too much. Also now I believe I am sick because my throat is all swollen.

The painting I’m working on is pretty decent; I’m working on the dragon now. I think I pretty good job of her eye.

I’m listening to my recital CD and I should have some vids ready to post soon. The guy in the recording studio must be a nerd, or else I spoke clearer than I thought I did, because he managed to get the title of the encore, and the composer, right down to the birth date. : D Well, love to him anyway, whoever it was. It’s a little sloppier than I remember, but recordings never sound as good as live, because when it’s live you get caught up in the energy of the performer – hopefully. Or else they’re just bad. Although the Dutilleux sounds pretty decent. And the Haydn. The Brahms is just crazy-hard… and I haven’t listened to the Ravel or encore yet.

Actually now that I’ve heard it, the encore sounds better if you can’t see how I flail all over the keys. XD

It’s amazing to think that only a few months ago I played a whole recital that impressed everyone. Someday, someday, people’s emotions will be my playthings! (just kidding, lol)
