Site update

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

I had to update the bones of my site.  At a glance, it looks like I did ok, but let me know if you come across any weirdness.

My electric violin arrived two days ago, and I’ve been playing pretty much non-stop. I’m so happy! Music!

Music!

My dad ordered me an electric violin! I found one on Amazon for only $80 that comes with just about everything you need. I was going to order it myself, but my dad is super nice. I’m so excited!

I’ve been plucking around with my old violin, but I can’t actually use the bow because… well, I’m in an apartment. I don’t want the neighbors to hear my rusty squeaking. Who knows. Maybe I won’t squeak. I’m still good, just a little out of practice. I’ve had my old violin for 17 years. (SEVENTEEN YEARS. I’m getting old.) For about half of that time, I haven’t been able to practice as much as I want because of dorms, townhouses, apartments, and the close proximity of potentially irritated neighbors therein. With the electric violin, I’ll be able to practice with headphones. No noise!

I really can’t believe it took me 8 years to figure out there is actually a way to practice without being annoying.

So, I’ve gotten out all of the sheet music that I still have, making sure I can still read music. (And I can! In fact, I can sight-read quite well.)

I’m so excited. It should be here soon. Yay! Violin! Music!

Enjoy!
