learn to identify the constellations (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 1 month ago

HA Rey’s book arrived just the other day. It truly is a lovely little work. I’ve read through it now, and can identify quite a large number of constellations from the illustrations. Unfortunately, the annual week of Irish sunshine just ended.. and this overcast, dull weather hasn’t allowed me to see any real stars.

learn five pieces for classical guitar by september (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 1 month ago

I began into this the other day. The goal is not to learn pieces I haven’t approached before, but rather, to start playing again, and get pieces I have previously studied to a level where I could perform them for others without sheet music.
I have started with:
Manha de Carnaval- an old jazz standard/ Bossa Nova type thing
Etude No1- a lovely study of arpeggios by Villa Lobos

Quit Smoking (read all 6 entries…)
Day Seven 1 month ago

Well I’ve officially made it through to day seven which is terribly nice. Although, I say that sitting awake in my bed at four a.m. This quitting thing has definitely affected my sleeping. Not much of a problem at the moment, as I just finished college, but it would be nice to be getting to sleep before five or six every morning, and sleeping for more than five hours! I just read up on this and seems its a common experience; supposedly my body is no longer as exhausted at the end of the day without the series of highs and lows it had been subjected to through smoking. I guess I will just have to allow for Time, the great healer, to do its magic.
