this is 100% true

Are thoughts even in the world?

something that continues to puzzle me: I'll practice hours a day and become convinced I'm getting worse, unable to play or make any nice sound at all. But during a funk like this where I decide I don't give a shit about music anymore, I'm all "you know how to do this, just do it". And I do.

ended up scratching/sawing out some notes for an hour, then dragging myself to a rehearsal I couldn't get out of. And whaddaya know, it was okay, even a little fun. And now there's popcorn for dinner to cap this almost-but-not-quite-wholly unproductive day. Need to remember this.

this this this, and this.

we are such a stupid, ugly, stupid country.

I hope this email finds you well and the School prospering.

for the 5th or 6th day in a row, I can barely bring myself to open the damn viola case. I don't know what it is. But it sucks.

that's about how it's been going

the next little while, at least

What's more annoying than podcasts inserting ads mid-sentence? That's one thing you'll NEVER hear during an episode of The Bad Piano Player Podcast. No chumba, no quince, no meundies, no malcolm-gladwell-read IBM ads, no hims/hers/thems. Just songs. And some commentary. Just as the lord intended.

ICE are thug trash.

“Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing & rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase EACH OTHER doesn’t make any sense.” Happy birthday Rumi 9/30/1207

"We do, doodley do, doodley do, doodely do, What we must, muddily must, muddily must, muddily must; Muddily do, muddily do, muddily do,muddily do, Until we bust, bodily bust, bodily bust, bodily bust."

The Republican Congress is like a mob of onlookers at a tenement fire watching people fall flaming out of windows, listening to the screams, and refusing to dial 911.
