So half an hour of sitting and futzing with the piano has produced a pretty neat cadenza for the end of Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2. (Based rather loosely on some notes of Chopin that are reproduced in the back of my edition of the music, together with a rather unhelpful explanation in German, which - after deciphering it with the aid of a German-speaking friend - turns out to be almost completely incomprehensible in any language.)
And I just realized that it's only 9:30, so I can spend some time working more on this without waking my neighbors.
BTW, if anyone's been trying to reach me over e-mail today - my e-mail server seems to have been mostly down since this morning, so I haven't gotten any messages. No, I'm not ignoring you. :)
Oh, hey, I've been meaning to ask if you might have an hour or two some time to spontaneously let me pick your brain about academia and Stanford and PHD-acquisition. Online's ok but in person would be better for speed of communication in short time. I can totally buzz over the hill for coffee or whatever even. Socializing but with a set goal of stuff I want to learn from you. Ping me if you've got a slot?
As of now, my schedule is pretty flexible, and I don't mind driving, so either option sounds good. Do you have a preference? (And should we continue this over e-mail, now that my e-mail seems to have magically started working again?)
Yeah, I'd rather keep my address off of the public internet. :) Email my LJ address, it'll get to me. Or should I just email yours? Or jump on Y! if you can. I'll pop you an email with my addy & we can work from there.
