Torie here! I can't figure out how to make my font dark green or small anymore... so I have to manually add the HTML tags myself. Sigh...



She's so cute... even with half of her coat missing from the surgery! You should see her when she's all doped up on pain medication with the e-collar - she knocks over EVERYTHING. Yes, the normally agile and graceful Bella... always looks bewildered and mews pitifully when she walks.


Piano buddies indeed!


I have no idea how to lose weight or how to work on a specific area. Lo siento Annie. Try Google, which is much more knowledgeable than I am.

Hum hum. Three hours of practice today! I love Spring Break but why is it already halfway gone!? SLOW DOWN TIME.

I just practiced... taking a break right now because my wrist hurts. I'm really concerned that the way I play is actually hurting me.

So does my wrist hurt because I hurt it doing something else and any kind of activity will hurt it? Or does my wrist hurt because I have bad technique and playing piano only aggravates it?

Sigh. I noticed that I do an awful lot of superfluous wrist movements when I play. Have been making an effort to curb that, lest I begin to resemble Lang Lang.

So I asked Clara how many pieces she normally played for a recital and she said six to eight. Good grief! I think I'll play two... but which two? Help me... we'll go through my binder soon and we'll see... yes?

Opening the lid makes my Schafer a tiny bit less of a pain to play. I'm surprised at how much better the bass sounds when I do that... the treble just sounds even more piercingly shrieky and annoying but what's new?
