present day... present time (ha ha ha!)

This morning I found a dc++ hub devoted entirely to classical mp3s and sheet music, so for the past whatisit 4 hours or so I've been downloading the complete (out of print?) etudes of Moscheles, Hummel, and Kalkbrenner (who Chopin wanted to take lessons from), running off to the piano, and running back to the computer to see if the Godowski has downloaded yet. Holy crap. Talk about Xanadu; we're through the looking glass here, people.

Last night we had our first barbeque after being moved in completely. Me mither & yon Casey came over, as well as H's friend Megan & her bf Adam. It also marked the occasion of the first fire of the summer, the re-christening of the firepit. And what a fire it was. We have lots of wood to burn from tree(s) felled by that winter storm indeterminately early this year. Hava made an awesome cherry pie from cherries picked from our trees.

In other news, it's going to be ninety-one motherfucking degrees in Tacoma tomorrow. Time to find water and splash around all day long.
