violachicRecently I've decided that when I want to write, or at least go through the motions of writing, I'll take my laptop over to Borders and work there. There are far too many distractions at home, not the least of which are IM and LiveJournal. So far, its been working quite well. I bring some CDs and my headphones, and listen to pretty music while I type.
Tonight, a gentleman was kind enough to switch tables with me when we discovered he was sitting above the only outlet in the entire cafe. I've decided I'll dedicate my first novel, in part, to The Nice Guy Who Let Me Use His Outlet At Borders. Do you think that will fit on the dedication page?
While I was waiting for inspiration (read: motivation) to hit, I grabbed a few magazines. I picked up Adbusters, which was the first time I'd had a chance to read a copy cover to cover, and Strings Magazine, which I really should have a subscription to.
I was fascinated to find two people featured in Strings who I was Suzuki brats with, way back in the day. Jennifer, Daphne and I were all buddies for a few years, when we were some ridiculous age, like five and six and seven.
Jennifer Koh broke out really early as a prodigy, performing with the Chicago Symphony as early as twelve, and is still a very in-demand performer and master class instructor. She was bio-ed in this months issue, and although there's no online link to the article, its basically the same as the link above.
But how many violin players in the world can there be named Daphne Chen? I'm pretty sure its her, the photo is so familiar. I hadn't seen her for years, she moved to California when we were around seven, but ran into her at Interlochen seven years later, and now she pops up here. Its got to be her.
How odd. How cool.
I'm sleepy. I think I'm going to crash far earlier than I'm used to crashing.
