piano

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2008.08.05

I got home tonight, soaked and exhausted from the simple commute home. I wasn't even cycling.

So I figured that I might as well move Mari's piano into the living room. It's been tucked away in the baby's bedroom since we moved in, but I wanted it to be available for her to actually use the thing.

Two screwdrivers and thirty minutes later it was done, both of us by then sweating and panting. And only one ding on a door and one scratch on the piano to show for our efforts.

rand()m quote

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
