Spring Snow
The park was too snowy to walk, so I took these photos around the neighborhood.
My prints in the fresh snow:

Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice:

Organization is the key to happiness
In the spirit of new beginnings (I start a new job next week!), I’ve reorganized my schedule and even my house a bit.
1. I bought a bunch of lamps. It’s sooo nice to have BRIGHT LIGHT in my offices and bedroom.
2. I rearranged my basement to accommodate more drawing and painting time. I’m working on a colored pencil of a couple hugging in front of the Eiffel Tower in the rain. I’m drawing wet pavement! It’s more exciting than it sounds.
3. I came up with a new workout/yoga schedule to fit with my new hours…
Yoga stuff
Here’s my favorite yoga site. I love the pictures and quick explanations of all the poses.
However, I’m using this guy’s videos right now. He rocks the casbah for realz. Plus, he has a super-cool accent.
Piano
I’m working up a Chopin Prelude. (The Raindrop!) I love the melody and how it moves to the bass in the middle section, but I’m having trouble voicing the big chords. You play, say, four notes at once, and one of the middle ones has to be louder than the others. And! You have to shape a bunch of the middle notes into a smooth phrase.
Last but not least, Waterdog.
Random Stuff
1.
I netflixed Caprica recently and enjoyed it immensely. If you liked BSG, I definitely recommend watching this. It explores all sorts of cool religion/technology/love themes. Really well done. Plus, CYLONS!
2.
Apparently, I am totally allergic to puppeh. This is so not cool. Would you want to be allergic to this?! It’s very sad.
3.
I switched back to morning workouts. Can’t remember why I stopped. Oh yeah, because I have to get up at 6am to do it. It’s still better than working out at, like, 11 pm which is about as soon as I can muster up the energy on a normal day.
4.
My piano will finally be tuned on Wed. THANK GOD. Meanwhile, I’ve been working up a Mozart piece, which I like but don’t love. I want to work up some Bartok, but I’m not sure I have it in me just now. (Bartok is tough musically as well as technically, and I am a wimp.) Maybe I should go back to Chopin.
