i feel like i live in the laundry room now. i did all my laundry friday night, but i watched the first two hours of memoirs of a geisha in here on saturday and i watched the third hour in here yesterday. and now.... i'm back. i'm gonna practice later - probably around nine. i should practice for more than an hour, but it's really hard to get back in that habit. oh, memoirs of a geisha is a Really good movie - and the music is amazing! the cello solos are all played by Yo Yo Ma, and the violin solos are played by Itzhak Perlman. or however that's spelled. the famous israeli guy that plays violin. well.... i think he's from isreal. hmm.... anyway, i love yo yo ma. i also love my ma. hahaha - get it? but yeah.
It was so warm yesterday! it got up to 72 degrees, at least! we had a picnic and i went on a walk back in the woods behind the parking lot - it was nice - there's a trail and stuff. there were so many squirrels back there! today was pretty nice, too, but about 20 degrees cooler.
oh, so yesterday, i went to this percussionist's recital, and he had a quartet with a clarinet, cello, horn, and...well, himself on snare drum, but it was pretty interesting. my favorite woodwind instrument (duh!), brass instrument, and string instrument all playing together! but what was really neat was, at the very beginning of the second movement, the cello had a really pretty solo - kind of mournful and... ah, i can't describe it! but it was beautiful, and then it started raining and the wind was blowing and it just added so much! it was so cool! and then the thunder came, it was almost erie. but i liked it. they couldnt have planned it better.
then we had steel pan practice which was fun! we have practice tomorrow night, too!
oh, and Itzhak Perlman is israeli, and i did actually spell it right! Yo-Yo Ma, on the other hand, is hyphenated.
