I've been trying to polish up a bit of music that I learned about a year ago. Stuff doesn't seem to be staying in memory as much lately as it used to, but it seems to be coming along with a little practice.
Watching friends play effortless piano is as much inspirational as it is frustrating. While I would someday like to know that feeling, it frustrates me that it takes so much work to get there. I suppose it is just like anything great... it takes great effort.
I think I've been inspired to at least practice more, if not actually seek out lessons again.

My girlfriend can pick up just about any instrument (or sit down at it, in the case of a piano) and play stuff. It's really amazing. Also depressing, in the sense that I can't even use the one instrument that god gave me. I even have trouble clapping sometimes. But oh well.
