I'm trying to finish Rachmaninoff's 2nd Concerto. Spots in the 3rd movement are damn close to bumping against the upper limit of my current technical ability (at the tempo I want to take them at, anyway - think Richter), and the real trick of it is organizing the entire thing into something coherent and logical. It's probably the most difficult thing I've ever done in terms of sheer hours put into it, and the level of commitment and effort required to pull it together. I underestimated the discipline in practice required, and didn't get a good start due to this. I have about 5 pages left of the 3rd movement remaining as well as the middle section of the 2nd movement. And the **** condition the piano's I have access to are in certainly doesn't help. Can't even hear myself, let alone when my teacher accompanies me.

I'm running out of time too...

For me it was 2 years of Division 1 crew. Most physically draining thing I have ever done. Best part was after 2 a days and class you get to wake up and do it all over again the next day!

I was in Montreal less than a year ago, CLUB SUPERSEX was definitely the best strip club we went to. If you go you have to check that place out.

Toronto needs to fix their zoning and allow developers to flatten all the ****** low-rent buildings near the city core. The thing I hate the most is all the pockets of poor people in between nice areas. In some places, you go from nice, to totally ghetto, to nice in the space of 4 blocks. There are all these crappy buildings sitting on prime real-estate just off the downtown core and it boggles my mind that it hasn't been developed. I don't know what you're talking about re: garbage though. Teh downtown core and all along the waterfront is pristine, as is the area I live in. Montreal doesn't even come close in cleanliness imo. Even yonge st. is pretty clean these days. Montreal is nice to live in but it's got significant downsides too, especially as it relates to career mobility. If you just want to chill and be happy, it's probably a better city though.

I've said this multiple times, my apartment is open to any and all SFers who want to crash.
