+10: Today has been a very lovely day.
I went to the library to print up my 30 day notice to give my landlord with my rent soon, and instead of just leaving immediately after, struck up a quick and pleasant conversation with the librarian, and decided to ask if they had music CDs since I noticed they had DVDs. She let me know that even though there was no marker above them like the DVDs, that they were nearby and then pointed to where.
I figured they'd have a bunch of boring generic music, but I cannot explain my excitement when I noticed their classical music section. I was quite happy to find a few CDs that I'd really wanted to listen to but haven't been able to purchase... A nice version of Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition, Rachmaninoff: Paganini Rhapsody, a couple of Christopher Parkening recitals, and I even found Paganini's 24 caprices done by a classical guitarist, which should help give ideas on how to go about learning them on a guitar's dynamics as all of the other recordings I own are of violin soloists.
I then asked the librarian how many CDs I could check out, and my spirit's jaw almost hit the counter when she said 50. I only grabbed five because I didn't need my brain to melt by overloading myself with exciting music >_>
On my way back to my place, the cool brisk coastal wind under the dim calming grey skies started to pick up, and the mist laced inside of it rushed at my face felt like countless loving kisses waking me up inside to joy even more so. Sounds ridiculous I'm sure... to be so happy about something so simple, but awarenessing simplicity can be quite exciting to the inner child
Now I'm planning to listen to music for the rest of the evening, and working more on learning the next variation to the piece I'm wanting to finish putting under my fingers and onto the strings of my guitar.
