Have no fear of perfection--you'll never reach it.

Haha, that's actually some good advice.

I had the most realistic, yet absurd dream tonight. I got home and my eyes refused to stay open, so I decided to take a nap. I dreamt about oversleeping and being late for the Jazz Band gig tomorrow. Instead I ended up in English class and Chinatown.... The whole thing was just so weird, but I still believed that I was late! Thankfully I woke up, and it was all just a dream.

Sigh, tomorrow will be my first time ever playing a solo for strangers. As long as I don't get nervous, I should be fine. Aw heck, who am I kidding...I get nervous so easily. I also stress out very easily, too, and I do not work well under pressure. My brain just turns to porridge...like I'm in some Salvador Dalí painting...
Music update: Yay! We haven't had one of these in a while. Today, my curiosity of the Academy Awards was piqued. Luckily, Wikipedia supplied me with its boundless information. I looked up all the Best Pictures of the past 80 years, and I got a little interested in their soundtracks. But, in the end, I only downloaded the Main Theme from Schindler's List, which sounds like a really sad movie, and I got the soundtrack for The Pianist. All of the piano songs in the movie are Chopin pieces. I knew those songs sounded familiar!
