introduced Satie as the original shit poster to my hs student ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm a deeply flawed individual, but I bring joy to the world.

cue music: they caught me rollin', they hatin'

I was at my desk minding my own biz when a huge spider decided to say hi to me and then I uncovered that the said spider has nested underneath my piano pusheen. Day went downhill after that (no canvas, Wi-Fi gave up in the middle of Kahoot)

ah canvas has returned. but at what cost??

there's something...refreshing with canvas shutdown 🧘‍♀️

our queer pastor in children sermon: “the book of psalms is my fav book” me a horrible awful person, in my head: “are we sure it’s not songs of solomon”

tricking my students to practice from the end of the piece by rebranding the practice game as “moonwalking”

TIL from my class piano student (sax as primary instr) that their finger numbers are 1-6...? me, a pianist: make it make sense? where's this mystery sixth finger?!?!

byos bring ur own ssamjang

im spending way too much time trying to figure out the catalog number for this jc bach's prelude a minor piece and the internet search is very not helpful unless there's actually no number

I know it’s kinda bound to happen but I’m turning into my azn mother—preferring my first-born son (jack) to my daughter (sammy)

For self-assessment this week, we're using hexagonal chart a la RPG's skill tree

foolishly left my pencil case sitting under the sun and my frixion pens decided to do worker strikes

this week my composers are my favorite because i sense that the singers haven't been practicing but wanted to get As for the midterm (in 2.5 weeks tho, so they have time)

bruh what happened to the ms word logo? this new one looks blasphemous

my productivity has indeed increased ever since I have my own office (for the first time in my life: from basement to another basement which used to be a faculty bar to a shared office with 8 harps to a shared office with a saxophone adjunct to finally an office w a not-upright piano)

getting paid to be silly while sitting pretty in an office

i kinda expected npr to mention/elaborate on the dynamic between the pirates and the world government/marines, but maybe it's too deep for the normies.

Looking a little bit more cozy and functional (brought some plants and stole an orphan bookcase)

this just cured my adhd

I kinda wanna program a recital where everything is intermediate level so the audience can experince that things can be fun, exciting, interesting, musical, and expressive without having to do insane finger gymnastics

is my observation wrong or do boomer folks not know how to disconnect on weekends? (got an email yesterday which I hadn’t replied bc it’s ✨weekend✨ and then the person doubled down w a text)

having a private time in my office¹ ¹shedding a tear & holding back outburst of emotions from learning that one of my fav cat influencers died this week

As an instructor, I'd rather see your fever dream, No Doze-fueled 4AM essays written at an IHOP rather than anything generated by an LLM. Hope this helps

Editing a selfie on my phone and one of the options is "straighten." I think not. Nice try, homophobes.

my biggest epiphany this week is that I need to do my B+/A- prep for teaching bc there’s just too much to do and the A+ prep only matters to me (as in students will still achieve learning outcomes even w my B+ prep)
