[quick edit: Icarus is finished]



I know the suburbia rants are getting old, but bear with me.
I've never been so fucking bored in my life. Granted, Alaska can get boring too, but the nature & clean air & glaciers & northern lights make up for it.

I think I fucked up my arm playing tennis. Fabulous.

People/Things I love right now:
Alanis Morissette (she's coming out with an acoustic version of "Jagged Little Pill," woooot)
Cereal (& milk!)
Angelina Jolie
Jonathan Safran Foer's Everything Is Illuminated
Jonathan Safran Foer
Air conditioning
Jimmy Stewart

People/Things I don't love right now:
Brad Pitt and his blonde 'do
Dana Boocock (spence college counselor...thought she was out of my life's picture forever, but surprise surprise.)
Unemployment


It has officially been a month since I left college for the home life. And I must say, it's really uplifting to look back and observe the progress my life has made since then.
Oh, but wait, that's right, THERE HAS BEEN NO PROGRESS!
[insert extremely high-pitched scream of frustration]

For all of you out there who hate sight-reading, I have successfully discovered the antidote: stop sight-reading for a good year and start playing everything by ear.
After unconsciously depriving myself of any sheet music for a hell of a long time and just writing music/doing everything by ear, it's almost fun going back to old Mozart pieces and just having the music written for you. It probably sounds really bizarre, but it's true. I spend a good amount of time just sitting there sight-reading now--or rather, re-sight-reading, since they're pieces I've played before.

Oh, I made another band site, I'm addicted to these things: BandSpace

mmk. more re-sight-reading. "Icarus" is coming along as well.
