i went for a drive tonight, trying to make some sense of things and clear my mind, and i ended up returning with a pepsi, two raspberry filled doughnuts, a full tank of gas, and a new (semi-colorful) 20 dollar bill that the atm spit out and i decided not to spend. also, a few blocks from my house, a black cat darted across the street in front of my car. i'm not superstitious, but it's october, it was dark, and it's been the weekend from HELL. if all of that doesn't add up, i don't know.
i found the sheet music for vanessa carlton's "a thousand miles" and although it's fairly easy to play, it's... not that easy. this is mostly due to the fact that i have tiny hands and an octave stretch is really difficult for me, especially in a key like b major where you pretty much need to be able to reach any key within 8 steps.
