I don't think I've ever felt like I wanted to see the same thing live twice

not quite the same, but probably a similar reason I can count on fingers of one hand the films I've rewatched by myself

if the same orchestra playing something different counts, I guess the Gulbenkian orchestra in Lisbon

have I honed my composition skills at the piano with pencil n paper and then DAW? Yes

is it still a problem that I am a mediocre pianist and abysmal sightreader? Yes

after 5 years of lessons does the act of practicing any piece of music whatsoever feel like learning the piano from scratch? Yes

I spedran that shit: didn't want to be a performer from the start but doodled on a piano as a kid

got forced into piano lessons but didn't know how to articulate what the problem was until my teacher realized that I was really interested in writing my own music and never in playing someone else's

this is why dentists end up having to teach everybody how to use those things properly

I was an embarrassing amount of years old when I was taught that it works best with the brush at a 45 degree angle to the base of the tooth to prevent plaque buildup in the front AND back, and THEN the top

The instrumental for Kafei's trek up the mountain,

where the snow fools the eye

and the wind whispers...

For Majora, every trick is a treat.
Happy Halloween!

every time I sit down at my DAW after hours of procrastination, I wonder to myself "what the Fuck was I doing wasting away on the couch? This rocks"

I then proceed to be upset at exactly 2 bars for the next 5 hours, curse life, lament my abysmal speed, and by the end of it feel creatively satisfied

no, you see, you can only be a great composer if you destroy your own hands in a manic pursuit of perfection, and then slowly lose your mind because you're terrified of losing your mind

it's in the rulebook of great composers, which I wrote in my treehouse where only boys are allowed

they're hearing the boobies

they're hearing the boobies and they go "eeew boobies" because they're 9 years old and girls aren't allowed in their treehouse

in college, I couldn't remember any of the terminology for a Discourse Analysis exam

so for each I substituted a sentence, as if every time to mean "chair" you'd write "object with 4 legs intended for human seating"

passed with a 16/20

had I been a slopper, my brain wouldn't have had the stamina
