Friend found the sheet music and asked me to play this so we can jam soon.
Told him it’d take me a few months, especially with all those sharps and flats everywhere.
—Friend: “Can you believe we’ve been on this earth for 30 years?”
Me: “Yeah time does fly, but when I look at myself in the mirror, I thank fucking god for my Asian genes because those years have not been showing. I love still getting carded.”

Updating said friend about farcical time with someone who did nearly anything and everything stupid to cover up layers and layers of lies…
Friend: “Wow, he really tried stretching his intellectual limits to keep you around. He reminds me of one of my client’s delusional ex husband who really thought he had super powers but he was living out of his mom’s basement.”
Me: “Or more like one those Lance Armstrong characters who believes there’s absolutely nothing wrong with him even though he’s been caught.”
Friend: “When you mentioned “story of a lifetime,” this wasn’t what I was expecting. I’m speechless. But you know, there’s certain slip-ups and mistakes a straight man will make and he will absolutely deny it happened inside his head, let alone deny it to anyone else.”
Me: “I’ve reiterated this story so many times that it’s exhaustive, I should just blog it.”

It’s never as nice as what the naked eye can see.

Piano notes made visible for the first time
Music is beautiful isn’t it? The team at CymaScope visualized the dynamic sounds of the piano’s first strike and the eventual plateau and decay phase of different notes. You can listen to the sounds here and watch as the geometric shapes come to life.
Cymascope - Sound Made Visible
Did you see my post about piano notes as visualized via the Cymascope last week? Now with hypnotic animations!
I love when our senses combine to illuminate something that would otherwise be invisible, or worse, ignored. A reminder of the limitations of our senses, and an artistic nod to synesthesia.
Follow that with another example of sound made visible: Beautiful Chladni lines.

On the first day of music lessons as an adult learner:
Me: “I’m classically trained on the piano, but now I want to play Kraftwerk.”
Teacher: “I get so many students but you’re the first to request Kraftwerk. This is going to be fun.”
We jammed to “Neon Lights” the first day.

This week on Snap Judgment, real-life stories of career con-artists, criminal fakers, life-long-liars, and the fallout that inevitably comes when first we set out to deceive. From NPR and PRX, Snap Judgment presents… “The Long Con.”
Male friend: “Made plans with the 22?”
Me: “Not yet. I mean what do you do with a 22 year old? No life experience.”
Male friend: “Wear him out.”
fucking powerful. and unfortunately true
Tall people are assholes.
Tall people are assholes.
I don’t think it meant that tall people are assholes. I think it means that as you get older and older the more pain and suffering you’re put through, the more you learn to trust people less and less and you begin to grow into a selfish human being. You stop letting people in to your life and stop loving. You forget what love is since you’ve gone through life being ignored and taken advantage of.
Tall people are assholes.
Yeah tall people are assholes.
Its agreed, tall people are assholes.
Tall people are assholes.
Tall people have small hearts that lead to medical complications.
