Free at last...at least for now ;P Okay not really. Just for this weekend.

Last week was Chinese Culture Night and because our lovely roommate the lovely miss XL was in it, we went. She did traditional dance (see above) and had the part of Guanyin (I don't know if that's right...that's the spelling we used in art history) in the play (see below). It was a good show :)

There was a zither player at CCN...the chinese zither looks a lot like the japanese one. Except it has more strings and the bridges are shaped a little differently...other than that they look pretty much the same. I wanted to see if I could still play so when I got home I pulled it out, put it on the floor (too lazy to set up the stand) tuned it (kinda guesstimated since I can't read all of the characters used for tuning)and sat on the floor and gave it a go. Guess what? I can still play. Of course, things didn't go as smoothly as they used to, found myself reaching for the wrong strings sometimes, but other than that it was good. Kinda like riding a bike. Keep in mind that I haven't touched it since May of my senior year in high school...that was three years ago. It's good to know that I haven't lost it.
