It was probably not a good idea to have a going away party with my friends on a Sunday night.
I just woke up, it's 3:30 in the afternoon, I have tons of shit to do, and the first thing I want to do is lay in bed. Even my cats think I'm lazy.
On a slightly more positive note, I am enamored with the new piece I have just begun to work on. Jacques Ibert's Concertino da Camera pour Saxophone Alto et Onze instruments is like taking a weekend in Paris; there is the calamity and enormity of the city around you, overwhelming you until you begin to feel the life of the land and the people; anxiety turns to excitement in quick fashion as you walk about the city on a pleasant day, with all the sights and sounds you've never experienced. You come upon the Tour Eiffel, soaring far above you, its size and scope dizzying, but your attention falls back to Earth and the beautiful city you are in. You are there, but such a small part of this place that you are only a mere wisp compared to the noise of the city. The magnitude of the place never leaves you, the constant motion, but you always come back to the beauty and life of the City of Lights.
I should be a music critic.
I've seemingly been packing things for a month, but yet there are still only 10 boxes ready to ship in my living room. I packed another one today, full of dishes and serving plates, and I have to pack tomorrow a box of things like a waffle iron, blender, and other assorted kitchen appliances. What comes to mind is, how often do I use this waffle iron? When do I need a sifter? Have I ever even made gravy with this separator?
This is my first foray into the shiny new world of Vox, as granted by my sister, Anna. Hopefully it will be somewhat more peaceful than my previous location, which ironically receives twice as many hits from people that don't like me as people that do. This also has a ton more flexibility and functionality. Should be fun.
I don't know what you should expect from this page just yet - but I get the feeling that as I move more of my content over here, it will develop a unique, rich flavor, undeniably bold, but at the same time mellow enough to quiet your thirst.
