I Miss Cat Scratching
After reading this article in the Washington Post, I am determined to pick up my violin again this summer. I had already planned on it, but now I am certain. It's a long article, about an experiment that the Post set up to test how society would react to beauty in a certain environment. In this case, the environment was a busy metro station, and the beauty was a certain famous violinist named Joshua Bell dressed as a street performer. For the 45 minutes that he played (and this guy is a prodigy, mind you), only one person recognized him, one other realized that he was actually talented, and he made $32.17. This music is lost on people, and I don't want to lose it anymore. Yep, that's what I'll be doing this summer. Also going to Taiwan and China ^_^ It's all about going back to my roots.
Listening: really bad Indian music. Thanks Ashley.
Playing: FFXII (PS2)
Watching: Poooooootie Tang and Ah! My Goddess

Hey, one of my summer resolutions is to start playing my cello again, so if you're up for any violin/cello duets, let me know!
