I couldn't remember much of my dream last night, possibly because the topic of conversation is now completely unquantifiable to my waking mind. Oh well.

I realized recently that I have chubby fingers. This is odd mostly because I used to have unusually skinny ones -- skinny and grotesquely hairy. Well, they're still hairy, but now they're thick as well. Perhaps that is not entirely accurate. I noticed that when I flexed my finger, there was a significant amount of muscle bulge, like the classic/cheesy bulge a bodybuilder (e.g. the governor of California!) gets when he flexes his arm.

Only much, much smaller and less impressive. Comical, actually. I think it comes of playing the piano, specifically Bartok's Allegro Barbaro. By the way, if you're in piano, do not even ATTEMPT said piece. It is six pages long and yet professional pianists manage to bang it out in roughly two minutes. I have to play it for Certificate of Merit, which requires piano students to play at least one contemporary piece (at least at my level).

Which makes no sense, since few people listen to contemporary piano music willingly, unless of course it is Scott Joplin, who NO LONGER even counts as contemporary, but a new period called "impressionistic". To play one of his compositions, I'd have to chuck out either my romantic or my classical piece, and I'd still have to play contemporary.

Ah well.

Reality check. Particularly if the piano over there starts bashing you over the head with its strings.
