my sheet music reading skills are so bad that it takes me forever to figure out which note goes on which string and I always feel like a preschooler going "okay this is.... A.... what comes then... oh yes, B"
like wow congratulations skye you've almost figured out the alphabet
it makes me laugh so hard every time. I don't know what the fuck my brain is doing in the background but it must be a lot! 😂
and something really short circuits because you've gotta know, in german, after A comes B. not B-flat. it goes A, B, H, C
I don't understand why they didn't just go with an even naming scheme, like what is this flat and sharp bullshit even, they could have just given them a regular sequence of names instead of this bullshit
sheet music is so needlessly complicated

I think a lot about those different archetypes of queer people. you know the ones.

the handy queer who fixes everyone's pipes and furniture.

the baking queer who always brings a cake or cookies.

the knitting queer who gives everyone hats and arm warmers.
the gardening queer who will trade seeds with you.

the artist queer who draws everyone's profile pictures.

the IT queer who can definitely fix your computer if you supply coffee.

the photographer queer who will take the best pictures of you.
and then it struck me that all these things are about providing for your community, either for free or for an extremely low price.

and then I started wondering why the fuck it is so unusual in this society to have providing for your community be a central trait of your person

I know for a fact that humans had glue before we had plastic so why is there absolutely no glue that you can buy that isn't plastic???
please stop informing me of the limitations of animal or plant based glues. I am an engineer. I've worked in material science. I am aware of different material properties.

and I know a LOT of use cases where casein glue would be perfectly fine.
they used to build airplanes with that shit. some of them are literally still flying today. it is definitely good enough to make kids' crafts glue or to make stickers sticky.

I can play like 3 notes on a violin and I'm already picky about playing styles lmao.

I have some songs that I could learn but I don't know them so I have to look them up on YouTube and there's one person who has videos for most of them, which is nice and helpful, except
except he does the finger wiggly thing with every note that's longer than a twitch and I hate it so much that I am actually skipping all the songs where I can't find another video because that wiggly noise is so overstimulating 😂😭
it's like when singers do the voice wiggly thing, it's nice! it's great actually! but it's not great if you don't get to enjoy a single clean note because all of them are wiggly

BABY PIGEON UPDATE

I just snapped a few pics really quick because they were angrily making clicking noises at me and flapping their wings like they wanted to fly away! a pile of baby pigeons with grey feathers in their nest unde
I don't know how all these parts add up to two pigeons. still only one head.

I'm a bit less cautious now because they can be without parents for a while. just need to be very careful to make sure there's no fallen baby down where the cats can reach when I let them outside.

apparently this is what the little note inside the body of the violin. I don't know what any of this means lmao except that this thing is definitely older than me ImageImage
this is it.

wow.

I haven't even put strings on yet and I'm already in love. I got her for an unbelievably low price.

it's ancient. apparently one of the broken strings is an actual gut string.

it smells really good too. gonna try to put on strings now a beautiful old violin.
I am very anxious about this procedure but I guess I've got to learn it sooner or later and I can't make it much worse than it already is 😬 one string still holds so unless I fuck it up I won't need to mess with the whatever the english word for the little standing wood piece is

violin progress day 9!

this was not the best run of this song but the only one with #OhMyOllie so I'm posting this one.

I'm sick of this song now so tomorrow I'll learn another. gotta keep moving to make my ADHD happy
as always everyone who plays anything similar is invited to give me advice, but, well this is day 9 😂 I am painfully aware of how often I don't hit the right note and pluck a string that's supposed to be quiet
somehow I was expecting it to take longer before I can produce something that resembles a song
