Hmm...

Hey Young Son,

If you ever need help with Clair de Lune, let me know.

Ho hum, ho hum, it's 2AM. I should go to sleep now if I want to wake up early and practice pero Alexander has not called me yet. I feel silly waiting. He must still be up... he never goes to bed without calling me first. One time he accidentally fell asleep but woke up immediately after and gave me a ring. (8

Fantasie Impromptu! Rondo alla Turca! Why, you're playing all the typical pieces! I hear those so frequently whenever I listen to Pandora. I grimace at the thought of Fantasie Impromptu. Good luck to thee, Anothee! I think Clara is learning Rondo alla Turca right now. You guys can study together. (;

Am I the only one that thinks Thibault resembles Evgeny Kissin? It's the afro & piano playing. Hehe...

I plan to put in an hour tomorrow. Before my lesson. Can't say anything about after... Date with Alex and then studying for a Calculus test.

It wasn't so bad playing with my eyes clothes.... until the first cadenza. REEEALLY hesitant. I might start doing it more often because it's so funny. I was going to post a video on your wall of me doing it but the mic on my new laptop makes my piano sound even worse, sadly.

During my lessons with Craig?

I'll quickly warm up and play through my pieces. When I'm done, we go over each section and he makes little pointers. I take mental notes. We change the score. He points out nifty tricks and things I wouldn't have ever noticed that would make playing the piece ten times easier. He plays through it as I record. Next piece, repeat. Questions about theory. We establish what I'm going to work on.

You know, I think you should meet him. He's great... have you ever considered switching teachers? Or are you pleased with your current one and the rate at which you're progressing?

So tomorrow morning:

-Finish second half of the second movement of the Mozart Sonata

-Memorize the fourth page of Liebestraume

-Somehow practice the cadenza

I'm reaaaaallly all over the place tonight, aren't I?

Last night I had a dream that I was heavily drinking in a motel with you and Leah where you tried to pick up two boys at 3AM. You got bored of them so we left for a little dip in the SF bay and I was eaten by a giant squid multiple times. It wasn't scary or frightening... in the dream, I was very amused.

I saw Julie & Julia tonight. Not pleased. I thought it would be way better. I'm not normally into the chick flicks but I thought a movie about cooking would be vair vair nice.

NON! I should have just watched Fight Club for the 283492nd time.

I should go to sleep.

And drink more water.

That was my New Years Resolution by the way.... drink more water. I'm awfully dehydrated all the time.

I'm not tired.

But I know I will be when I wake up tomorrow.

See? I tell myself that all the time. But I never listen to myself and stay up anyways.

I am a night owl. Like Van Cliburn. Now if only I could play piano like Van Cliburn.

Goodnight Young Son.
