Gnomenreigen

The structure which I had (and wished for) slipped from my fingers today. I let myself rot again. Well, Lost is getting better deeper into the season. (one!). And so I'm captivated, and somewhat still rather enthusiastic despite the slow snail lag.

I get VERY annoyed by blogs with pseudo music blasting like a land mine. (seriously thats why people say blog hopping huh) Namely blogs with auto-play music (that I have to keep reminding myself to find that freaking player and shut it off). It disrupts whatever I am listening to! And my Itunes is forever on the go. Seriously, I want to go on ranting (forgive me, it's late). Is there even any 'music' in pop or whatsoever modern music. Bach owns all of them hands down.

Oh yes whoever thought Cohen's Masterpiece from the game Bioshock is a real "cool" fuzzy wuzzy composition for solo piano is totally wrong. Why does it actually sound nice? Because it is a freaking rip off from Chopin Sonata no3 Op 58 fourth movement. Compare, there are striking resemblence. It doesn't take a genius to realize. And obvious, there is no need to question which one came first. I have nothing against modern music. But everyone else is missing the gems! And it is so disturbing/painful to see. Can't people find solace in a Schubert Sonata or some Mozart, or maybe a Beethoven Symphony. What does it take to convince the whole world that they're listening to the wrong wrong wrong wrong stuff!

Today I injured my forearm again. It's either the weights, OR the piano. It's one of them. But there really isn't any litmus test to capture this nasty culprit I guess I'll have to go cold turkey for a while. I hope I'll be able to play La Campanella tomorrow. How many people actually understand the challenge behind all this. This makes Fantasie Impromptu or Flight of the Bumblebee seem like child's play. Why don't people understand that. I hate ignorance. I'm gonna nail all the notes right. Hammer them in!

All train of thoughts lead to ranting tonight. (I wonder why). I hate it when people ask others to perform something, and then very obviously they aren't paying attention. Whenever you ask someone to perform, you watch! you give them the respect. a higher respect than how you would be expected to give to someone speaking. the worst is when people start talking like 5 seconds in your piece. They walk away or something when they asked for it in the first place. Or they ask "can you play this, or that". Annoying buggers. Really. I remember back then in Japan (on a holiday) we visited some tribal ancient place where there were people performing "ancient instruments". and there was an ancient instrument which was apparently monotoned. So in other words, you can't really hear a tune, mainly only rhythmic variations. Other Singaporeans from the other tour group started scoffing in dialect/chinese. Man, give me a break. Learn some audience ethics! Horrible, nauseating! Disturbing!

The great wall of well. nothing, the one that lies in the center of my room right now prevents me from tracking my brother's sinister plan to take over the world!. I mean, yea, I don't even know whether he is sleeping till I hear his snores (but he might be faking them so I better be careful). I just hate well egg sandwiches so I shouldn't be sleeping so early. Suddenly the tension is easing (into nine-sion, or maybe eight-sion). Tomorrow I'm like going to so play volleyball across the wall or something. Or better still, I'd WRITE ON HIS WALL. Ah take that man, facebook style'd.
