My allergies are tying to kill me.

I guess I'm 25 now.

Hey! Listen to this song. I know Disney has made some really, really great songs in their day. Beauty and the Beast. Circle of Life. Colors of the Wind. Under the Sea. A Whole New World... the list could go on for ages. But this one? For me, this one just might take the cake. Seeing as it's 1am and I am still bopping around in my desk chair dancing to it.

I sure have dreams about Juilliard a lot for only having been there once.

And riding my bike around the city. What's with that?

One of those days

This is for all you girls about twenty five,
In little apartments just tryin' to get by,
Livin' on on dreams and spaghetti-o's,
Wonderin' where your life is gonna go.

Even though I kind of hate this song, it's funny how well she knows me. I had to smile when I heard it today.

I get Mojo kitty back for at least one week. He is the best, simply the best!

Hold on to sixteen as long as you can
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men

Diglett dig
Diglett dig
TRIO TRIO TRIO

So yesterday's recital performance kind of blew all my others out of the water.

Missed it? Oh, you can see it here. Technology!

Frank Martin's Ballade is still probably my favorite piece to play on the flute. It's oppression, it's frustration, it's anger, it's uncertainty. There is even a hint of bittersweet reminiscence in it. All that, we go through all of that, yet the very last chord... it's EM. (that's a happy chord, for you non-musicians out there). We can go through all of that an still end up with happiness.

(starts at 40:20 if you would like a listen)

I'm pretty sure the clarinetist in a nearby practice room is musically mocking the pianist in a nearby practice room. Funny things!

Also, (yesterday), happy leap day and (today) happy March!

14 hour days are exhausting. But! I am doing what I love. And that's pretty cool.
