I'm not sure why this has been so difficult to internalize, but I feel like I'm finally starting to at least get to a point where I can *feel* the difference between jumping with my legs and "jumping with my arms"!

Ok, so... I've gotta say, it isn't as fancy as a Chopin Nocturne or whatever, but this is turning out to be one of the most fun things I've played in a while now 😀

Sailor Moon is America themed, right? She's got all the right colors 🤔🇺🇸❔️
Although I've gotta say, "I'm the pretty guardian of Nationalism and Cultural Imperialism" just doesn't have the same ring to it 👎

I also like to post stuff like this because you rarely get to see learning steps; only end results.
So I recorded myself learning just *20 seconds* of a totally new song. This is 1 hour'ish of practice in 33 seconds, at 100x.
Learning new things is hard, but I can do hard things and so can you <3

And then there was day 0, where I planned everything around a single event (Cat Maid Cafe), and it wasn't even a specific character. I just wanted something cute and mostly logistically uncomplicated!

I also cosplayed the infamous 2024 Foam Party!
Definitely the most ambitious cosplay I've ever done!
Logistically difficult since I was staying offsite, but it came together perfectly (with some help from a friend to store my tools post-assembly! Thank you! :D)

I had fun at Colossalcon! I got to meet new people, hang out with friends from prior years, and the most ambitious cosplay I planned worked out way better than expected!
Since Bluesky only allows 4 pictures/post, simplest cosplay first: Miku! No extra theme, I was just excited to be swim Miku :D

I have a book of all Chopin's nocturnes; since I've got the whole book I might as well use it!
This is Op. 15, No 3
I'm also trying something new with this one. I learn mostly by ear, but I've never heard this one, so I'm not looking it up; I want to try to learn it solely from what's on the page!

Also, Beethoven go brrrr; I feel like I'm finally getting halfway decent at this one! Or half of it anyway; after this, there's two more parts I *can* play, but it's still rough, and after that, there's a part that's.. Kinda tedious, and I don't love the sound. Might just skip it 🤔

Today's skate night was so fun!! I had an outdoor "parking lot practice" skating playlist I'd listen to when I was just starting out, and they played almost every song from that playlist tonight! Blondie, The Go-Gos, Vicki Sue Robinson, Pink Pony Club... eeeeeeeee!

So this is a new challenge; I'm really not used to doing scale runs with my left hand, much less going *down*...
I've been at this for hours now, just trying to smooth out these first 6 measures. And I'm making progress, but my left pinkie and ring finger are both screaming at me to take a break 😅

Also now I can actually play this and have it sound good; it's delicate, so any tuning issue stands out, and it's kinda slow, so without a fully/consistently working sustain pedal it just sounds super awkward.
I also tried out recording with an actual microphone!
Song is Chopin Nocturne 9, No. 2!

I had my piano tuned, and it sounds great! 😀 And I also had the sustain pedal adjusted so it actually works consistently across all the keys, which means I don't have to constantly murder the pedal, creating weird amounts of sustain in some keys, in order to get *any* of them to sustain!

I want to make a longform post about how I learned why harpsichord/baroque music can't easily be emulated on a piano, and how I found out my electric one actually *can* be tuned to put middle A at 418 Hz, but bsky only gives me 300 chars, so..
Behold! An almost-real Harpsichord! 😀

Just want to say this stuff does NOT work; not only did the guy next to me not shut up, but I am now also permanently banned from all AMC theaters 🙄

I remember seeing someone doing a really smooth Jackknife on skates on the internet a few weeks after I started learning how to skate, and I was like "Hey, that looks fun. I want to do that." And now I am doing that, and in heel skates! 👠 😀
