Sometimes I go for weeks without listening to music (on purpose). And sometimes I just can't get enough and do practically nothing else but listen to and explore and download new music. I am in a dry spell right now where I just have not had the impulse to hear anything. Except when I practice, I suppose. I guess it is because I'm more in "reading" phase. Being a visual learner, I actually retain and aquire more in most ways from reading. But I wonder if sometimes the ear and brain just get overloaded and don't want to have to process sound. Well. I'm off to read my novel. It feels somehow like a reward. Friday night party!!!! Clean the kitchen sink, play with the kitty cat, light a candle and read. Saturday night gets even more exciting. I clean the bathroom sink and read about how my car works so I can pretend to be a mechanic on Sunday....
The days, of course, are reserved for practicing, playing on the internet, and slamming a raquet and ball around an enclosed room of white walls and glass.....the door opens from the inside, he he...:).
Sals,
JW
