Many Things

So I went to see an occupational therapist on Friday, she was really nice and understanding. I got some ultrasound therapy and some exercises to do when I'm practicing. Tomorrow (...today really...) I'm going to be back on my 2hour/day routine which is sweet as I'm really missing the time I've lost.

I also read a paper today on mental practicing which is cool. There was some research done on non-musicians to see how mental practicing faired to actual hands-on practicing. The study found that the mental practice people had to only use the instrument for two hours after a mental regiment to get to the same level as someone who spent the regiment with the instrument. Granted it took more total time in the mental group, it took them eight less physical hours at the instrument to get the same results. So that means whenever I'm in line, or sitting, waiting somewhere I can be visualizing and practicing at the same time! Great!

And lastly I can say that I finished all the lyrics to my songs! So my three songs are Pages, Anarchy, and Windowsill. This is great... now tomorrow (again today....) I'll get to working on the melody to Anarchy.

So I'm off to bed... g'night
