dragomon2 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Since there hasn't been a post like this one. Mind as well start those old forum posts or youtube "Fireplaces" where people check in and talk a bit in a more elongated format or reply to each other's day/scenario. Feel like it'd be great for a more small niche community like this one compared to discord where things can easily be sent up in the chat history, haha! To start, my day has been pretty nice. I've been practicing a piece I'm working on by Amy Beach - Romance for Violin. Lots of progress is being made and a class that I had today got cancelled since the professor realized we've been working too much in that class and we need a week off before we get into really intensive (effort wise) works. How has your day been or anything that you wanna say to mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguinos Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 My day has been tiring... I took a listen to the piece you mentioned - its amazing! I personally spend the little time if have to practice by playing waltzes on my guitar. A great piece I recommend listening to is Django's Waltz, specifically Joscho Stefan's performance/interpretation of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieAndHerDogs Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Just listened to both pieces recommended and I've now got two new songs to listen to. Django's Waltz is my favorite of the two. A song I recommend is "Wonderland" by Caravan Palace but I have no idea if it will actually be a song others will like. I stayed up last night and I am exhausted because of that XD. Can't wait to go home and sleep, although I'll probably read first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguinos Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Reading late at night instead of sleeping is a blessed feeling... Until you wake up the next morning lol. Caravan Palace is great, I've been following them for years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love finding pieces outside of Western Classical that's more on the technical side (w.e. that means for said genre/instrument) and man, dude was killing it!

The most i'd ever do is see out of my catalogue of music that I like, pick the ones that I think others might like but I also still very much like! Besides, a personal recommendation always helps express who you are to us as well~! But I feel the other comment, I stayed up all night since today is my one and only off day before I resume school and work lol. Kinda wanna go back in the days where I could grind for hours on end in a game or read a super long novel in a single night. I remember even reading the cursed MGA for like 12 hours, shutting off my brain and not thinking lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meeno Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Went back to work after a weeks vacation. I swear I was finding excuses to extend it by another day or two when I woke up this morning. Other than that I am back for about a week then I have another weeks vacation for the last week of November. Have to use my days before they expire at the end of year and December is pretty well black out month. Other than the weather is getting nippy but then I live in Canada, too be expected. We had hail last week and I actually have to warm the car in the morning..icky. As for WW, I had been hording chapters for MGA for the past few months, so finally got around to blitzing them during vacation. 50 or so to go and I will have caught up. Added Immortal of the Ages to my reading list. Not bad, usual tropes and cliché storyline but the MC makes up for it. In 50 pages he has pretty well decimated a sect, committed murder on a grandiose scale, lots of torture and mayhem. Love it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get in late, then turn around and go full bore at work the following day. I really need to get the Mrs to plan for recovery time after travel. Looks like I have some music to check out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meeno Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Even on my days off I am still up before the birds... well not that they are up either at this hour. Hard to break the routine for two days. Not much going on today other than headed to Life labs so that they can go vampire on me and do some blood work. Now my question is, is it too early to start decorating the porch for Christmas or should I wait for December 1st... 🤔 Enjoy the rest of your day to everyone.

The MC is on par with the MC from Beyond the Timescape for how ruthless he is. Some of the things he has done has made even me cringe and that takes some doing. Check it out if you have time to add another one to your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
