How are you?

[birba]

I love reading your posts now!   I remember when I started piano, I was with an awful awful teacher who used to balance a pencil on the top of my hand and said if it fell I was not playing correctly and my hand would deform!  ( She used to threaten me not to go ahead of the music she gave me.  But I read the whole book on the sly after only 2 lessons, and I was only 5 years old!    I hated her.   You sound like you have a great teacher!  (But if you feel daring, try something on your own!

Thanks  That sounds like a scary teacher! My teacher is cool! Sometimes she does get a little angry too but most of the time she is really nice You started learning piano really early, I started kinda late  but now I REALLY LOVE it!!!       I will try something on my own too     

[littletune]

So I'm a little sick now... not a lot just a little something under my ear is swollen and it hurts. And I'm more tired and sleepy... today I slept till 1 pm!!!  and in the evening I just fell asleep on the floor  And my fingers are tired too... yesterday I was practicing two Etudes a lot and I was playing them kinda ok already but today my fingers didn't want to work like they should anymore specially when I wanted to play quietly  oh well.... we'll see how it will be tomorrow

[birba]

Isn't it awful when you're sick and you can't practise?   Or don't even WANT to practise?

[littletune]

Well until now I don't think it ever happened to me that I wouldn't want to practice, but sometimes I couldn't... like when I had a really bad eye infection and all I could do was cry and sleep but I still wished I could practice and when I was able to open one eye at least a little I went to practice ... but it is very annoying if something hurts and if you're tired and you can't practice like you would want to  Well now I feel a lot better already And I'm a little better at playing too I'm learning really a lot of new pieces now but I'm not completely sure if I'm learning them right cause I can't ask my teacher now  ... oh well... I hope it's okay 
But it's very very hot here now. Well at least if you're sick your body doesn't have to work very hard to give you a fever cause it's so hot you have a little fever all the time but I think it's going to rain very soon now 

[littletune]

Well I knew it it did rain yesterday evening and today and it's still cloudy  but it's still hot! And I'm ok even though my dad doesn't want to speak very much  because yesterday my mum had to go to water the garden and flowers at where she works and I went with her too to help her and we went at 9 in the morning and we came back at 12.30 and now my dad is angry cause we were gone for so long and because my mum didn't prepare breakfast and coffee for him before we went and he doesn't speak very much now   
But I was jumping on a trampoline yesterday and I wasn't only watering the garden and flowers but also myself and there are also swings there and slides (but those are a little too small for me cause my mum works in preschool ).
And also I think I'm getting better at those pieces I'm learning to play now still don't know if I'm doing everything right but I'm getting better    

[birba]

How am I right now?  I guess you could say I'm ecstatic and excited about my first day of retirement!!!!!   No more bitchy divas, stupid tenors and obnoxious incompetent conductors!  I can now dedicate my life to myself, ONLY.  On my list of things to do:
Rachmaninov-Wild, Vocalise
Prokofiev - Romeo and Juliet Suite
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thalbergmad]

Congratulations old chap.

I will have to carry on working until 70 so that we can keep Somali asylum seekers in $10,000 a month luxury rented houses.

[littletune]

today when I woke up my tummy was hurting and I felt kinda sick... I felt like I would have to much water or something in my tummy  ... maybe I ate too much ice cream yesterday and then it was soooo much of it that it didn't melt right away  , but then it melted during the night and so that's why I felt like having too much water or something in my tummy when I woke up        but i'm ok now 

[wert718]

I feel good today, thank you. 

[go12_3]

I'm feeling fine and dandy now that things here are getting more action here and
that people will be more social also....I am happy to see tds here after about a year
of not seeing him, and hopefully some of the others will return to PS that hasn't been
here for a long while....   It will be a very hot and sunny day where I live... a heat wave this weekend!    I'll need my sunglasses for sure!   

[point of grace]

i'm fine thanks! =P
happy aniversary to me =) (9 months with my boyfriend!)

[bella_brito]

I never thought I'd say that but I really want my classes to start again. I'm tired of staying home all day and I miss my college friends (that live in other city). My parents just sold the store they've been owning since the 80's. I'm richer than never
My old piano is going to be completely restored. It's great, but it also means I won't have a piano at home for at least 1 month.
I really wish the chat room were opened again. I miss you guys.

[littletune]

I'm ok but just a little sad maybe too  cause I think everyone is on holidays now and everyone is going somewhere but we're just at home and I don't know if we'll be going anywhere at all this year because we don't have so much money cause where my mum works now (it's a private preschool) and they haven't paid her for some time and they should pay her now like 3000 eur!  but she doesn't know when they'll pay her. And also my best friend is not here and we always had so much fun during the summer holidays and we were doing all sorts of things and going somewhere and went swimming but now she's not here 
but well I guess it doesn't matter that much... 

[go12_3]

I just have a feeling that the month of August is going to be a very slow and very
tedious for me to go through....  

[wert718]

I'm excited about prcticing Balakirev's Islamey!! 

Upset about moving prospects. 

[bella_brito]

Right now I'm very very very happy, because I just got an email saying I passed the audition for free piano classes with the piano teachers from the university where I study Architecture!
They opened a project for teaching pianists that aren't studying music in the university. The audition was yesterday and I got very nervous, made lots of little mistakes.
But I guess it didn't matter much because they chose me!
 

[thalbergmad]

I say, well done that girl.

Damned good show.

Congratulations, Bella!  Well done!   

[littletune]

Yes congratulations Bella!  so now you can study architecture and piano too!     

[bella_brito]

Yes! Thank you guys, I'm very excited about that! But I need to keep all my grades high, if I want to have those classes, or they will give them to someone else, it's how it works. I hope I won't have too much trouble on that. 

[goldentone]

Congratulations, Bella.

[littletune]

I feel like I have a fever    And my ear hurts a little and my mouth cause something is swollen again in my mouth!  And it hurts when I eat and drink!  But I don't care, I don't feel that bad otherwise! 

[littletune]

So I'm sick now  but I'm better today than I was yesterday evening. But it still hurts when I eat! But yesterday everything hurt, but it's funny cause when I get sick and I start to feel like everything hurts it makes me feel really funny and I feel like laughing  Cause it feels like everything tickles me or something  And it's kinda cool cause I imagine how my antibodies are fighting the germs and I'm like go my antibodies you can do it you can beat those germs!!

i'm sad because my student didn't practice  . last week she did well, but i'm little confused why she didn't play well yesterday  . is it normally or maybe i had doing something wrong? (i admit that sometimes i do same thing like her too)

[littletune]

My fish is not ok  and I'm sad    I wish I knew what to do to help my fish!! 

[pianowolfi]

My fish is not ok   and I'm sad     I wish I knew what to do to help my fish!!  

Fish tanks are not easy to maintain. You need to change the water periodically (but never the whole water at once), care about the nitrite and nitrate, about the nitrogen cycle, the water hardness, the pH value and temperature, all this relating to the specific fish species that you have got in there. Some need harder water, some need very soft water, some are easier to keep, some are delicate.
And even if you observe every specific value carefully it can happen that fish get sick or die and you don't know why. They can have all sort of viruses and infections, they can be sick already when you buy them in the pet shop and you won't notice it for quite a while...

[littletune]

Oh well I'm not very great again! Well I'm a little sick, but that doesn't matter. I will go to music theory today anyway. But what's really bad is that my fish got worse again  We gave him medication and he was better and looked really ok.... but now he's just getting worse  and I guess the medication is not working anymore  I feel soooo bad I can't even describe! I wish so much I could help him! But I just don't know what I could do. And noone else knows it either. I feel like I should be doing something to help him! And it makes me soooo sad cause I can't do anything    And then also my bird is acting kinda weird! I mean he doesn't look sick or like there would be something so very wrong with him, but he just almost never sings anymore and he doesn't go out of his cage...  So I'm worried about him too!  I'm getting really tired because of all this! I worry so much all the time and then I try not to think about all that so much but then I start feeling really bad and like I wouldn't care enough about my animals and like I have to think of something to help them.  Well I don't know... We'll probably take my bird to the vet. And well I don't know if it would be ok to take the fish to the vet  . We'll see I guess.

[birba]

You learn something new everyday.  I had no idea there was medication for fish.  I can understand what you're going through.  When I was twice your age, I went frantic over my guppies because there was a small one that the others tried to eat.  I did succeed in separating them, but it died a few days later anyway.  Nature has to take it's course.  Let me tell you a story.
A while ago, I found a bird outside my picture window.  It had evidently flown into the window and was dazed.  Not wanting my cat to find it, I picked it up and put it in a cage.  I fed it for the next few days until it was well and able to fly.  One day, I opened the cage and bid it farewell patting myself on the back for having done such a good deed.  Know what happened?  The bird  apparenly loved the fare I served him when he was in the cage and decided to come back for more the next day.  THAT was when my cat got him...

[littletune]

Oh well yes... we tried saving a little bird once too. It fell out of the nest. And it was eating at first but then died during the night  It's just really sad sometimes  I hope there is some other universe that's not that sad.

[littletune]

Well I don't have to go to school this week. Cause I'm sick. I mean I don't feel so very bad, I'm just sneezing and coughing a lot and have a little fever and things like that. I started feeling worse yesterday after music theory... I just hope I can go to my piano lesson tomorrow anyway  Well I don't know...  My animals are kinda the same as they were... 
Music theory was cool yesterday... except we didn't have enough time for dictation, but our teacher wants us to write one every time, so it was all really fast... so it was a little confusing... I thought that maybe I'll have billion mistakes... but I had just 3 again... and again the same as last time.... just cause I wrote one note too high 

[Bob]

Bummed out.  I need to figure out how to take a break from everything.

[littletune]

Well I'm still sick... but I went to my piano lesson anyway....  I really don't wanna miss any piano lessons!!! So now I'm tired....  My animals seem a little better  but I don't wanna say anything...  And tomorrow we have to take my bird to the vet.

[littletune]

Well the veterinarian said it doesn't look like there would be something very wrong with my bird looks like he just hurt himself once when he fell (he's a little clumsy), he got some medication so it won't hurt him and some vitamines and then we'll see if he feels better then.
And I'm soooooo sleepy now My mum said I look horribe, that I look really sick, but I don't feel so very bad.... just very sleepy now

[Bob]

Zoned out... 

[littletune]

    

[Bob]

Uber frustrated.  I can't find a cassette tape from years ago.  I know I liked the music.  I thought I knew who the musician was... But I've searched online in their discography and can't find the album.  I'm pretty sure I've got the right musician... It's not quite making sense....

[birba]

Dementia?

[littletune]

No I think it must be something like... maybe Bob remembers something from another dimension you know! And in that dimension things are different than here and that musician really had that album Bob is searching for, but in this dimension they don't have that album...  Bob I think you should try to find it in another dimension! 

[pianissimo123]

feeling rather lazy right now... I want to go to sleep and dream the night awaay...

[Bob]

Confused (and a little sick but anyway...).

I posted last night.  I know I did.  And... I just searched.  No record of it.  Weird.


I posted that I was uber-relieved.  I did find that recording finally.  It was a different performer.  Very similar sound -- One where you can 'think' it into sounding like someone else.  So yes, I did finally find that recording.   And had to troubleshoot and fix my computer along the way. 

[littletune]

Well but of course Bob! That's because you posted in another dimension!  Just like I said!  Oh and I hope you get better soon!!

[Bob]

That's possible.  *Bob wonders if it's possible he is accessing the internet of another dimension.*


I'm just glad I'm not a superhero today.

[go12_3]

It has been a while since I've been here....busy with art work and music.
I don't spend as much time here as before....oh, well, that's how it goes...

[birba]

I don't spend as much time here as before
