I know myself. If I were to practice a really hard 15 minute piece for the sake of a dazzling 15 second climax near the end, the pressure of the moment would lead me to fuck it up every single time I might try to play it for someone. So...

They stopped making the dental floss that I like, and I've tried three or four others which have all been INTOLERABLE! Arf!

Some time in 2021 I "laid in a bathtub, melancholy, sipping dessert wine and hearing for the first time a recording of Beethoven's last piano sonata," and I still don't have the wordsβ€” How do I tell you what that was like? How do I talk about it? The piece is a deep-tissue massage for the emotions.

Both of their remnants were eventually custardized (did you know french toast and bread pudding are basically the same thing?)

In grad school I spent YEARS on Beethoven 31 mvt 3, never recorded it, can no longer play it. I played this one, ok? Or at least I tried to. I ironed out each section, even though I wrinkle the whole thing so much. And it's been a while. And I cannot get myself to slow down. But I did it, ok? Ok.

I spent a few months during the summer working on this Bach prelude, and I never recorded the whole thing. But I haven't been playing it recently, and I can tell my brain space for this one is on the way out. On impulse, grabbed my phone, did one rusty take, 3m bsky video limit, ok whatever.

After a long day at work, carbs are there for me... Did you know you can just *make* garlic bread? I hadn't done it before. Next time I will double the butter... #puppychef

"I am a dog" I think to myself. I fetch a dark chocolate peanut butter cup out of the fridge.

I've unwrapped it and am holding it between my teeth. I'm opening my habit tracking app.

"I *can* be trained." I get the satisfying cold chocolate chomp right as I'm checking off today's "Knee Exercises"

Let's try this. Gonna stream RE2 for a bit. Spooky game for spooky month. Never played RE before and don't play many scary games; I had fun with SH2 remake last year, so I want to try another big franchise.

No vtuber model or png, just game. Come hang out if you wanna. :3

A portion of a spotify window, cropped to the "jump back in" section. It lists several albums and their artworks, and the mixture is eclectic. One of the albums is "Excite Your Dog" by "Sounds Dogs Love" and which pictures a dog sitting happily in an outdoor environment. The others include video game music (Cobalt Core), anime music (Dan Da Dan), and classical music (Mendelssohn piano quartets).

The angsty minor-key music I try to write is always trying to channel the "life is so beautiful but also so terrible all at the same time" mood I feel every day while I wonder "do other people feel this way too and not share it or do I need therapy"

In a persistent rut where I try to keep on top of everything but still feel like it's all constantly slipping. So I end up in (burn out?) "I want to do nothing" states, but I'm (barely?) organized enough to know I must do a specific task *today* to keep afloat. So I toil, whatever, lmao. Adulthood.

Tried a canelΓ© for the first time. My local coffee shop was selling them, and I'd heard so much about them from an anime (Your Lie in April). Delicious... The chewy exterior has an intense, complex sweetness, and the interior, so rich...

it's also incredibly isolating! Anyway, I like this write-up, the line "Note that for |r|<1 the summability of f(r) is easier to achieve than the summability of the original series" is the perfect nudge for my degree of knowledge, and the alternating series is a perfect example for the definition
