Nice Day
today was a nice day. no 8:00 class. then i went to history, but the professor wasn't feeling well and class only lasted about 10 min. totally awesome. had my accompanying class. it was fine. had a run-through of my concerto with dr parr. it was fine. UGH!! if only something super amazing, or unusual, or exciting would happen. hmmm.
did some violin and piano practice. i think i had a major breakthrough in my violin playing. while trying to do a trill i think i discovered the trick to a nice wrist action vibrato. i'm so excited about it. though i still have plenty of other more basic aspects to work on. but this is good that i really have something new and fun in the violin department (not that i haven't been going through all sorts of interesting things in that department already. so what was i complaining about earlier?) *sigh* i hope someone finds this stuff slightly interesting. if i ever say anything that someone has absolutely no idea what it means, just ask. of course everyone probably has enough background in music to know what most of the stuff i talk about is (karen, you don't even need to ask about any of the terms i use). but i want some comments!!!!! which, speaking of my newly functional instrument, i need to get you guys some pictures. today i was actually able to play on my own violin (not the schools student one i was borrowing) with my own bridge and a new tail-piece strap.
had another exhausting 2 hour session of capoeira. i think i'm gradually getting the hang of walking on my hands. i told kyle i needed to work on it, and he said, "here, this is how you do it." he bent down and held onto his feet and *walked on his hands.* then i asked him to demonstrate standing on his head (which we were also working on). HA!! take that! on the topic of capoeira tricks, is there any one of you who can do a summersault without your back touching the ground??? and no, i'm not talking about doing a flip. i'm talking, slowly tuck your head holding up your weight on your hands and rotate your feet across your body and back down on the floor on the other side of you and then stand straight up again (or repeat over and over again when doing a drill).
played some sweet ping pong tonight.
refel: to prove false, refute: reject, repulse
"four and twenty black birds,
baked in a pie.
when the pie was baked,
the birds began to die!
wasn't that a dreadful dish
to make the poor king cry?!?"
ever wondered about that aspect of the birds baked in a pie?
