	i'm going to hit you if you mess this up, okay? When I flawlessly perform a piece from my book, Adult Adventures in Piano (Adventures!), I get a star on the page. Once I get got a star on my chest for being so good. Sadly, I live for these moments, these quaint little validations that I am not, in fact, a total clod. In the vein of getting stickers as a reward, piano lessons are a lot like grade school, where your... Posted by xtop at 12:43 AM \| Comments (2)

	notes on music: 9.23.04 Tom Waits - Real Gone When I bought my first Tom Waits album, Bone Machine, as a freshman in college, I felt so goddamn adult. I remember playing it for my friend Tom in his dorm room, the same year everybody was moving to Seattle and would be mourning Kurt Cobain. I also remember the shrugged reception it got, while I stumbled to explain just why this was so great. Not since... Posted by xtop at 12:18 AM \| Comments (2)

	bugfuck trumps crazy "Some people like to sing in the shower and I like to give presidential speeches." "Jesus" "And I kid you not." "Did you hear what he just said?" "No." "He was telling me he's in school, has one semester left, and he paints. So I asked him what he paints and he says 'Oh, I doubt I'll ever sell one of these.' I ask him again and he says...

	biological ball Fire ants have developed a unique method to keep from drowning. At first hint of rising water, worker ants gather the entire colony into a ball - sometimes as big as a basketball. As the water overtakes the mound, the ball rides the flood like a living raft, rolling in the water so all the members can take turns breathing. When they strike a solid object, be it a swimming dog... Posted by xtop at 01:36 AM \| Comments (0)

	the greatest blog post ever told So anyway, I get through my day of work, walking like Robocop and talking to people like a retarded beast and head home. I'm about three feet outside my office when a woman points at me and yells "OH MY GOD, LOOK AT ALL THOSE BEES!"... Posted by xtop at 02:08 AM \| Comments (0)


	talking about talking about things is like talking about things So, to my devoted fanbase, a part 2 of the vacation story/pictures should be coming by this weekend, and I have stories about piano lessons (I'm learning to read sheet music, which really hurts my brain like I was 14 and got dropped in algebra class all over again) and fishing (on a boat!) and some more ever-ponderous thoughts on music I'm listening to (Peter Haskett and Raymond Huffman of Shut Up...

	brain changing Hypnosis is more than just a party trick, it measurably changes how the brain works, says a UK researcher. Hypnosis significantly affects the activity in a part of the brain responsible for detecting and responding to errors, says John Gruzelier, a psychologist at Imperial College in London. Using functional brain imaging, he also found that hypnosis affects an area that controls higher level executive functions. This explains why, under hypnosis, people can...

	lookit that bum over there, man, he's down on his knees So, one guy's opinion here, but LA's awful. It's not so much that it's a nightmare city jam-packed with strip malls disguised as 'promenades', or that relaxation seems anathema, or that it is, in fact, hot and sunny all the time or that traffic there is so predictable and yet so out of the blue, one time being due to a cop just swerving across all 4 lanes for his own ostensible...
