Hmm...

 

This thread has taken a distinctly RSN-like turn as of late...

 

Day at work was slightly better than last... but hardly a model of efficiency and productivity.

 

Now I am wiped out and am off to bed.

Some jackass started ringing my doorbell and pounding on my door non-stop at 2:30 AM last night. Called the police, who were jackasses. Turns out it was some jackass who used to know my sister's jackass ex-boyfriend. Apparently, the jackass ex-boyfriend collapsed at work and had to be taken to the hospital, and this jackass was running all over town looking for people who might have his jackass's mom's phone number. Which of course, I did not.

 

Between the 14 hours days, women, and jackasses waking me up in the middle of the night, I am so, so tired. I could sleep for a year.

 

I did get a slight break last night to have an organ lesson, though. Playing the organ is...hard.

isnt like an organ playing a piano but with like air tubes, or somethin??

 

*used to play a little piano*

 

Very different, actually. The organ has multiple keyboards, each of which is coupled to a different set of pipes. Determining which settings of pipes will give you the appropriate sound is an art in itself, and every organ is different. On top of all that, the organ has no sustain pedal like the piano, so fingering is totally different, and the organ, unlike the piano, does not respond to touch - that is, pressing the keys harder does not make a louder sound, so phrasing is very different.

 

And THEN...there is another entire keyboard that you play with your feet, and that's really the killer. Trying to get the feet doing the right thing while maintaining your balance is extremely difficult - much harder than it looks.
