try to not make it long.
ok
the days are moving slowly and quickly. i didn't really play piano last week at all except for friday where i played for practice, and sunday where i played for mass. i didn't practice at all. which is all good cause i really did over play... and yeah it reinforced my need to have an expert scrutinize my technique.
so before i get into that lets go to saturday where it was rafting. they said meet at starbucks at 7. so i get there and it's 7:05 and nobody's there except tri and my. and it's 7:29 and the first group (marie and brian and sabrina) show up.
anyway we leave by the time it's about 8:30. it's about 10:30 by the time we get to River Rat in Fair Oaks.
we pick up our stuff and walk down to the river... jump in!
yah. not much more to say here except we took the right forks and had more adventure than if we took the left ones.
ate at the parents. they had to leave for church while we were still there.
then we went back to sj/milpitas, and i was too tired to continue on to camping... so i just slept.
next day was the usual, church stuff.
monday was piano lesson, and after discussing conceptual things, i played a little bit, and found some things to work on, on both technique on scales and that fast passage on the gloria i keep messing up on. yup. applying the conceptual to the concrete. it works well.
that night was sight singing at mary's house in mountain view. ruth ann wanted to carpool! so we went together in her car... tho hindsight says we should have taken my car for the only reason that i had mary's binder in my car and i forgot to take it with me. twas a lot of fun =) we sight sang quite a lot of stuff. i wanted to bring stuff that was not typically normal, so i brought Famine Song, It Takes a Village, Ikaw, and Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair. mary, ruth ann and i stuck around after and chatted for a while. mary had cat cookies (for people) at her house. pretty yummyyy.
one of the songs that i didnt bring was a choral verson of billy joel's "And So It Goes" arranged for the King's Singers. Muy nice.
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows.
