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

Capitalist production, therefore, only develops the techniques and the degree of combination of the social process of production by simultaneously undermining the original sources of all wealth – the soil and the worker.

—Karl Marx
