Me and My Keyboard

Oh how wonderful it is to caress my favorite instrument.
Haha. That's a funny line. I'm leaving it.
I hate saying tickling the ivories because tickling makes it sound way too un-serious. Caress sounds a bit too sexual, but sometimes I think musicians and the music they play...it's all sexual anyway, isn't it?
Moving on.

So I've played my little keyboard several times--I've yet to make it to the basement to the real thing, but that time will come. I love that old upright piano. It's between 80-100 years old, it's a little beaten from a fall, and it's twangy. But it's awesome. The D in the next to last octave doesn't play anymore, but I can manage it.

I love musical scores. The Legends of the Fall has one of my favorite scores in it--I don't even know what it's called, but I love it. And I just recently figured out the score to The Painted Veil (with Edward Norton, my favorite skinny boy with the nice voice and great nose,) and I LOVE IT. Please listen to it. I know it takes a big dork to obsess over movie scores, but I don't think you'll regret it. It's amazing.

Well, back to my filling out job applications and eating melted Belgian chocolate and reading books that really shouldn't be in my presence but are. I laugh with sneaky indulgence. Ha-haha!
