I spent the morning leading up to my last exam browsing digital pianos on the internet, ultimately purchasing the Casio Privia PX-200, a little 1L-is-over treat for myself. Perhaps a pricey treat, but hey, exercising creativity is important (as is using my economic stimulus check.)
I’d been pondering this digital piano for some time, but hadn’t acted. My boyfriend said it would be sexy to see me play the piano, and while I liked the idea of being sexy, I prefer my big purchases to be free of other people’s suggestion. So I waited and pondered and waited some more and made sure my intentions were proper.
And now it’s here. With all its grand piano variations and unfamiliar buttons and weighted keys. And now I can take the 11 years of piano lessons I had as a child and maybe have a hobby (or at least a party trick.) Right now I’m busy relearning classical pieces I knew as a teenager (Chopin, in particular) and learning some bad pop for the first time (like Rascal Flatts and James Blunt.)
Any requests? 
Perhaps some Henry Mancini…
