Look Ma’, No Music

Filed under Apartment Life, Piano, Playing Around, Video-Goodness //

Sorry, nothing stimulating has happened to me recently.  Well, nothing stimulating enough to write about I mean!  Sooooo last night I was playing around with my laptop/digital camera, and I was recording myself to see if I could play better.

What have I been doing with all of my free time?

Noooo not making meth, that’s illegal kiddies!  Memorizing Beethovens Fur Elise, naturally!  It’s only like saying I’m reading the encyclopedia in my free time.  Everyone just turns and walks away slowly, that’s it.

I actually learned this when I was in grade school after I first got a keyboard, annndd not surprisingly it is one of the first ones I started playing again.

Sorry about the video quality, again it was taken with my digital camera. I guess you can’t tell if it is me except for the blurry, hideous monster that shows up near the end of the video that kinda resembles me. Yeah, it was late at night last night and no, my hair doesn’t usually look like I stuck my finger in a light socket. I giggled at the end like a schoolgirl because it is only the FIVE MILLIONTH time I played/recorded it and I didn’t mess up finally. Okay, so it only took three tries. Did I mention it was late?!

I was just going to turn off the camera at the end, but I figured a shot of the empty music stand to boost my ego wouldn’t hurt. Ahhh, that’s better.  Yeah, I know that it is only the first half of the song.  At the end I just skip to the last chord of the music that I remembered.   I’m learning the second half along with The Entertainer.  Boy am I a wild animal or WHAT?!

Feel free to insert pandering words of praise here -
