uum de ya da
Tonight I had my first cello lesson with my new montreal-based cello teacher. Her name is Tyr and she is the cello player for the winks. The lesson was at her beautiful and gigantic apartment (6 bedrooms for 6 roommates, amazing stained glass, hardwood floors and hardwood moldings, beautiful porch). At the end of the lesson I ran into one of her roommates who just so happened to be SALLY LEE! Surprise surprise! Canada is so small sometimes. Friends from one end of the country find each other again on the other side. We had a nice chat in her kitchen, a chance to catch up on the last few months.
I have been spending so much time working (this week has been really intense at work) and helping both my mother and Tobi around their respective houses that I haven't had much time to do something for myself, something without stress. Cello can be all about doing something entirely outside of myself and entirely about time with myself.
At this moment, feeling a little rejuvenated from the lesson, I've put together the following list of things that I would like to try doing this winter (all things that are about engaging in things I *want* to do rather than what I *must* do):
- make a quilt
- learn to make a super 8 film
- plan my springtime garden
- paint that last big canvas that's been in my parent's basement for 5 years
- make some clothes for myself and, in the process, learn more about sewing.
- read. a lot.
Ryan has been visiting for the last few days. It's been comforting to have some Vancouver folks around. He's such a fun fella. Too bad I had so much work and was unable to hang out more.
oh well.
