Music Practice Log #1 29/03/2021

Perhaps, amongst the stacks of books in the music section of a huge library, there is a music student scribbling down her music practice notes. Perhaps that student is me. Let’s try this, then. I’ve tried doing this in my other two blogs. Somehow it didn’t feel right. And I don’t think it’s a wise … Continue reading Music Practice Log #1 29/03/2021

Language Learning Notes 28/03/2021

Since I’m updating everything, I decided I’ll do a quick update here as well. Have I been learning more languages now that I’ve finished all the Latin modules on the Duolingo tree? Nope! In fact, I’m learning LESS. Let me explain. After I completed everything, I was beset by fear that I would lose my … Continue reading Language Learning Notes 28/03/2021

Music Learning Notes 28/03/2021

Ahah! Lightbulb moment! I’ve been torn the past few days trying to figure out where I could write my music notes (lol) because they don’t fit on Growing Fins (which should be Other People’s Music, Media, Games etc), nor on Scriptorium Mythica. And then yesterday I had a music learning convo with my friend Jen … Continue reading Music Learning Notes 28/03/2021

Chess Updates 28/03/2021

Because I’ve been busy, I haven’t been as regular with my chess playing but I still have kept at it. After I checkmated Laura 6 times, I decided to take on Sven, also a level 1100 machine. I lost to Sven repeatedly for a couple of weeks and then this week I’ve checkmated him five … Continue reading Chess Updates 28/03/2021

What I’m Currently Reading 28/03/2021

Hullo, First actual book post of the year! I have been mostly reading a lot of academic stuff for my research, and sheet music, but I thought I’d better update this before many more months past! In short, I am reading way more than in 2020, this list doesn’t include stacks of cookbooks, and academic … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 28/03/2021

Chess Updates 06/02/2021

I actually have updates! I have checkmated the bot “Laura” 4 times unassisted! Three times was this morning. I’d done a stack of corrections for the two MA supervisees of mine who need to submit their thesis this coming week, fell asleep, and then woke up with a start three hours later. Couldn’t go back … Continue reading Chess Updates 06/02/2021

Language Updates 28/01/2020

I’m quite bereft because I’ve finished learning all of the modules on the Duolingo Latin tree. I suspect they’ll add more content at some point because they’ve already upgraded the voices and added the animations. For now, I’ll do the XP challenges on the weekends and keep revising. I can’t dig into Lingua Latina per … Continue reading Language Updates 28/01/2020

Chess Updates 28/01/2020

Happy New Year! Looks like the first update of the year on this blog is going to be a chess update. It’s been quite a sanity saver. I love learning languages and music but there’s something both highly cerebral and visceral about playing chess and it’s been really great for me to take my stress, … Continue reading Chess Updates 28/01/2020

What I’m Currently Reading 20/10/2020

I managed to finish two books while I was in the hospital, yay. Currently reading: Everfair — Nisi Shawl On Beauty — Zadie Smith (this is my outside book aka book I won’t read inside of the house because of fear of COVID cooties. Which is a pity because it’s really good and I’m jonesing … Continue reading What I’m Currently Reading 20/10/2020

Chess and Languages Updates 20/10/2020

I did say I was going to do Chess and Languages updates but somehow I never got around to it. Languages Greek — I’ve decided to give the Greek a break till next year or till I finish my Latin lessons on Duolingo. I do miss it but I think three languages is my limit … Continue reading Chess and Languages Updates 20/10/2020
