There is nothing quite so lovely as being totally over an ex.

We are all various portions of introverted and extroverted traits, in an ever shifting organic concoction of tides and spikes and infinite purpose and possibility. In my opinion, applying both of these guides toward each person in your life is simply known as: “caring”. May 17, 2012, 1:09 am in quotes

There is one of my paintings that I have given away that I periodically wish I had courage enough to ask for it back. May 13, 2012, 12:28 am in public
Some random pictures from my road trip to Cali, including some show photos from Mr. December playing at Louie’s in Rancho Cordova. I’ll add to this as I take more and post process them. The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript support are needed.. May 11, 2012, 10:26 am in public
Chris just emailed me to let me know that our picture was accepted into the Plastic Fantastic Show. They accepted an alternative crop of this image. The shoot was entirely Chris’ concept, I just got up at 7:30am and let him take pictures of me in the cold. Congrats!

Just found one of my longer hairs, loose on my shoulder, that went gray about an inch ago. For some reason, it seemed poignant and fitting. May 4, 2012, 1:05 pm in public
I could potentially be enticed to keep at learning how to write music down if I had one of these to do it with.

Sometimes, when I am massaging a face-down client and doing compressions, I balance on one arm while stretching the other up in the air and pretend I am handbalancing on them. May 1, 2012, 12:44 pm in public
Washing the Duwamish shore off my feet after a spontaneous early-morning shoot with Chris Clark, for the purpose of submitting work to a plastic camera only photography show. We shot with a Holga!

Took a few minutes today to learn one of my favorite pieces from the Madness Returns soundtrack. No clefs were harmed in the making of this video. Honestly, with how frustrating and clunky and annoying it is to attempt to learn music as it’s written, I’m not sure I’m going to bother with much more sight reading. I’d rather memorize chord charts and work on fingering. April 30, 2012, 12:38 pm in events

If I’d tried to learn this song last night by reading it, I wouldn’t be able to play it now or have retained the information needed to play it in time and with soul to it. Instead, I cheated and took 15 minutes to learn it by ear, so I could fucking enjoy myself for a change. April 28, 2012, 8:03 pm in updates

My experience with Breathing Color (http://www.breathingcolor.com/) has been exceptionally satisfactory. They shipped quickly, had great prices, and a tech followed up with me the day I was supposed to receive my stuff to give me his contact information in case I ran into problems, and make sure I had all the information I needed to use what I’d ordered. 5 stars on service, very interested in what the quality is like as I work with my materials over the next few weeks.

Earlier this year, partially due to extended illness, I became deeply entrenched in the game Alice: Madness Returns, which is the sequel to American McGee’s Alice. It’s the first game I’ve really sunk my teeth into in a decade, and once I did that, I thrashed it around in my mouth like a rabid bulldog for weeks. April 26, 2012, 10:48 am in public
After my latest rant on reading music, I took a well-deserved break for a couple days. Upon returning to practice, I found that my focus had shifted from reading written music and the fingering exercise I practice to a metronome. Currently I’m still all about the fingering exercise for challenge and warmup, but now I’m also playing memorized songs with the intention of playing with more efficient fingering, using my ring finger more, and playing to a beat. As for written music, I haven’t given up on it, but rather than going through lessons from a book or video and stumbling through sheet music, for now I am improvising simple songs and using http://noteflight.com to write them down. The process of doing that is keeping learning creative and allowing me to discover some of the more detailed aspects of written music on my own. |
