Stupidest thing ever...
I lit up a match and tried to light a candle. I positionned my hand wrong. The fire ran up the match and burned my thumb.

It. hurts. like. a. bitch.
Will not be able to play guitar on sunday?! I appointed my friends to give me lessons!!

Fire is not my friend.

Yes!
Tomorrow I'm definitly going to look for some music books and partitions for both piano and violin. I need to start learning some stuff or else Dunant will again make fun of me this summer. Everyone knows I don't want this happening.

This is what I'm planning to get:

☐ At least 2 or 3 books with decent explanations on chords and transposition and shit.

(stuff in bold is what I'm planning to learn as soon as I get the notes)

☐ Chopin - Fantaisie Impromptu (piano)
☐ Chopin - Marche Funèbre (piano)
☐ Chopin - Nocturnes (piano)
☐ Chopin - Piano concerto no.1 & 2 (piano)
☐ Rachmaninoff - Tableaux (piano)
☐ Rachmaninoff - Whatever I can find.
☐ Liszt - La Campanella (piano) (yes I know, you might be reading this and be like "WHAA SUICIDAL"... and you'd be right. This is a suicide)
☐ Liszt - Rhapsodies (piano)
☐ Satie - Gnossiennes (piano) (I'm REALLY looking for those...)
☐ Debussy - Clair de Lune (piano)
☐ Debussy - Clair de Lune (violin, piano)
☐ Debussy - Some sonatas?
☐ Grieg - Sonatas? ☑
☐ Astor Piazzolla - Le Grand Tango (cello, piano)
☐ Sibelius - Violin concerto (not planning to learn it right now. I just want the partitions for later)
☐ Kreisler - Praeludium & Allegro (violin, piano)
☐ Vitali - Chaconne (violin, piano)
☐ Ravel - Jeux d'eau

Eventually moar stuff.

... Yeah. There are just some events like this that completly change us for good.

After what I saw this evening, I'm not the same person anymore. Itzhak Perlman. He is what I would really call a powerful man. A living monument. Someone that you hear once and that completly changes you. He played the Mendelsohnn concerto, this piece so famous that it is now known everywhere on Earth. As it used to be hard as hell, now, many violinists manage to play it. But for Perlman, it's different. I really have no clue how to describe it. He just played the intro, and all that came from the audience was a soft, whispered "Oh". Everyone in this auditorium knew the tune and could've sang along to it; instead they chose to let Perlman play it. And he did. Beautifully. Intensely.

He cannot walk properly, but at the end, with our bursting aplauses, he came back to thank us. He leaved for the second time. The applauses continued. And he came back again. This simple thing had such a strong purpose to me... He is in pain just to make a few moves, yet couldn't help but come thank us by his presence. I know how sincere applauses feel like; they feel so good that you don't even know how to thank the person. He played many times in public, and probably got way more than all we gave to him in the past. But he came again. And yet again. Just to show us that he wasn't just "this soloist", but "the soloist". The one we'll never forget about.

Ah...

At last, I did not go to see Dir en Grey. I was probably just too tired, but the fact that no one would've gone with me played a lot in it, I have to admitt. This wednesday is going to be a big night anyway, because I'm going to see... Itzhak Perlman! I can't wait. He's my favorite violinist still alive, and I never thought I would ever get the chance to see him live. So yes, I am definitly looking forward to it.
Other than that, my piano recital is this saturday, and this time, I have 2 of my friends coming, so that's a little public to make happy! I'm playing my dear and now worldwise known Chopin etude as well as the first Satie gymnopédie. There is no need to say that after 2 years of hardwork, the etude is ready; the gymnopédie not quite yet, though. I can get the notes, I just need to have them memorized by saturday... Hopefully it's going to be great!

So, last friday was Oni con. Even though I went alone there, I managed to spend my money uselessly, like I am so good to do so. I came out with a tophat (which I just absolutly love, it's so great ♥), NIL in limited edition, some Kine in Aqua goodies and a bunch of stuff from SATSUKI. Yes, I did find words to get a live report done, even though I never thought it possible; I just decided to write one instead of telling everyone individually how awesome this night was. There it is, but as you might have guessed, it's in French.

My grades have dropped; now I'm not on a steady B, but going more towards F's, and I actually am failing geography. Only one week to bring it up!!1! I need to do so, or else... I don't know, I'll hang myself with a spaghetti or something.

I probably will manage to write more on wednesday, after the Perlman concert.

There is absolutly no word to describe how amazing this concert was.

Hm... Maybe there is one. Yes, there is.

"Perfect."

This concert was perfect.

I already want to see him again...

I will not write a live report. I'm not able to. Even if a perfect language was to be created where all the expressions and words existing in it, it still wouldn't be enough to describe how many tears flew away from my eyes this evening and how much emotion he put in his words.

Yes, that's it. He was perfect.
