Chopin

Not to sound like my esteemed bandmate Dylan but... how dull would life be without music?

Yesterday I was feeling a little down... just a case of the "Sundays" I guess. The past few weekends had been filled with travel, gigs, and family stuff... this weekend, just, not much going on. Rob and Dan were/are on vacation. Fitz, former neighbor Kevin (better known as "Such," an abbreviation of his last name... Suchakowski or something like that) and I went out Saturday night but it wasn't anything special. Bottom line... I was looking for something to do. So I walked over to the Clavinova and decided to try my hand at the Chopin piece I had bought a while ago. It had become just another unfinished project... maybe that's why I chose to sit down and work on it. My point is, I wouldn't call taking a crack at a classical piano piece "productive" or anything, which is what I thought would make me feel better, but it -did- make me feel better, broke the silence of the lonely apartment and provided a "flavor" for an otherwise dull day.

Anyway. So, Manhattan said I could take classes there (yay!). Now to register and hopefully get this loan... if all goes to plan, classes start... in a week! Eesh! Admittedly, I'm kinda tickled at the thought of going school shopping again... ah, new binders... ("NERD!") ...I know. It's true, though.

It's cooled down a bit, and is overcast and a little rainy today... nice. I do like this kind of weather. I'm sure it'll warm up again soon but fall isn't so far away... looking forward to it, for various reasons. Being outside... back in school... moving nextdoor with Fitz and Rob...

And in other news... Shara is visiting the east coast next week. She'll be in PA for a wedding and we haven't worked out whether we'll meet up there or in NY but we'll see each other somehow. It will have been 3.5 years since we last saw each other.
