Something I'm looking for

I've been looking for something fun to play on the piano recently. I mean, apart from the duet I was supposed to work on with someone.

I'll be honest. I'm the type who gets bored with the same piece after a while. Don't get me wrong - I do love the music I play, but it just gets kind of dull. I just have to keep finding new songs to keep myself entertained and after some time I will pick up those songs to play them once more.

Like how I finally picked up "Those who fight" (from FFVII) the other day after a few years. I was sick of that piece because I had to practice it nearly everyday for my exams. I couldn't play with the same accuracy I once had, but it was, after all those years, actually refreshing to play it again.

I am looking at this certain piece I chanced upon on youtube. It's called Hidamari, composed by Yukie Nishimura. Hidamari means sunshine I think, and it is a very beautiful piece. Now normally I'm not a huge fan of playing those really emotional, lyrical kind of pieces (I'm really a Swimming kind of person), but this one is too beautiful to pass up.

I can't really find any sheet music for that though, so I'm looking through her other works. And if anyone has any recommendations on what to play, please let me know.

At work right now, and listening to some Bad Weather California. Awesome songs.

Ashes to ashes

I almost blew up my workplace yesterday.

I was trying to toast some bread and stupidly placed a paper plate by mistake inside the toaster.

Four minutes later the resulting smell was not that of bread but of burnt paper. Thankfully, I had stopped it in time. Should it have been toasted for a couple more minutes it would've caught in flames, I presume.

I couldn't stop laughing at my own stupidity for a good 30 minutes after that.
