Music
Ever since getting this Blockbuster freedom pass -- think netflix -- I've spent lots of time watching movies... lots and lots of movies, haha. Sadly, no one else in my family appreciates the independent/artistic films, so I'm left watching them by myself... which I don't mind, but it would be nice to have someone to discuss the movie with... =/
I digress though. After watching Master & Commander.. or more precisely, after listening to Yo-Yo Ma's wonderful and captivating performance of J.S. Bach's Prelude (to the Unaccompanied) Suite in G Major, I felt so inspired to play that I ran down to the local music store to pick up the sheet music! I then brushed the dust off my cello, and have been practicing since. =) The music just feels so... deep, powerful, intense yet equally calming, simple, soulful, serene... just a perfect match for my mood.
Here's a sample of Yo-Yo Ma's rendition of the Prelude... when I finally start earning positive income, I definitely plan on being a season ticket holder to the San Francisco Symphony! As well as to the Sharks... oh, and new lenses wouldn't hurt either! ;P
