learn and record a French impressionist piano piece
I've decided!

I’m going to learn the third movement of Debussy’s Children’s Corner. It’s called “Serenade for the Doll” and it sounds awesome. I can hear ideas in it that sound like influences for other music I’ve liked, like the soundtrack for the Royal Tannenbaums, or the soundtrack to the old SNES game Chronotrigger.



parade through town in a melodica marching band
Here we go!

First practice is in a couple days. It’s going to be amazing. I have a few awesome friends that are interested. I’m going to try to solidify a core group in the next week or two, then send out broader invites to my city’s community.



pay off my car loan
Finally have set a timeline for getting this done early

It’s amazing how much money you can save by throwing money down a little bit earlier. I’ve set up my auto bill pay on my checking account to pay almost triple my regular monthly payment and plan to be done by the end of the year. If I had done something like this, even for a few months, a couple years ago while my car loan was newer, it would be ridiculously easier to do this now.

Still, the main motivating factor for me is not saving a few hundred bucks on interest, but rather removing this burden from my life sooner than later. Let’s just hope this aging bucket of bolts on wheels stays in decent shape for years to come!
