Lots of Stuff
Big day at work. Not so much in the actual work getting done, as big stuff happening. It will be interesting to see where it all leads to. I have a meeting tomorrow morning with the senior partner of our division. Ostensibly to discuss one thing, but in fact it appears I have three things to discuss with him now. We’ll see…
Last night I stayed up & started reading Wapsi Square from the very beginning. I finished it some time this afternoon. So good, but waaahhhgggaahhhh! Now I have to wait every single day for the new one to come out the next day! All day long!
In other news, I hate-hate-hate two of the pieces I’m working on for guitar right now. Hate them. They’re basic three note, thumb-index-middle finger, arpeggios, not a problem, I’ve been doing them for 20+ years (jeebus I’m old!), but I can’t make these pieces sound like music — they just sound like a bunch of random notes all stuck together. I can’t make melody or sense of these pieces & they’re driving me crazy. I am sorely tempted to skip them entirely… but I know from experience that it’s the pieces I hate the most that I probably also have the most to learn from. Sometimes I hate being old & having perspective.
This weekend we’re taking my mom to a classical guitar concert for her birthday at the Frye. We’re taking the girls. M1 I’m not worried about. M2… I have some concerns. But she loves music & I think as long as we bring a notebook/coloring book & some colored pencils, we should be ok… and if not
Seems to me there was something else I had to note, but I can’t remember what it is. In lieu of that bit of information, I will substitute the fact that we finally joined netflix & have been watching Star Blazers ‘cuz that’s how we roll.
