Rain, Wolfs and Colorful Music
Hi there!

During the course of the last... about 6 or 7 days, I think, I watched the whole series ‘Wolf’s Rain’. And at the moment, I’m quite a little obsessed with it. I’m going to rant a little about it now, so everyone who doesn’t care or doesn’t want to be spoilered scrolls until the spoiler end warning in capslock.



SPOILER



Seriously, I cried throughout the end of episode 28 until about 5 minutes after the beginning of 30. Then my dad came and made me go away from the computer. I was pretty angry with him until the next day.
Poor Toboe! He’s been my favourite character all the time and then has to die in such a terrible way... But I’m glad that he wasn’t alone while dying. Quent was there to pet him and make him feel alright. I cried so much because I was so happy, sad and relieved about it.
Tsume staying with dead Toboe for some while was pure sugar. It made my heart ache with happiness and sorrow. I feel so bad for both of them... Maybe this is stupid fangirlish babbling, but I’m sure they were meant to be. Tsume told Toboe he wanted to take him to Paradise and asked Quent to watch over him. To hear Tsume say such things was... touching. And very final, in a way, because I’m sure he would have never said it while Toboe was still alive.
The ending is very sad... They all seem to be total strangers which makes me sad because maybe they’ll never meet or they aren’t wolves anymore or something... But Toboe wearing the pink beret was so cute! I nearly died of sugar overload. He really needs a certain big, bad biker to pick him up XD~



SPOILER END



I bought an MP3 player today! It cost 60€ and has 1GB space. Pretty much, I guess. I love it to bits! Now I can hear my beloved music while doing my paper round and stuff! Yay! At first I had problems changing the folder I was listening to, but my dad helped me and everything is fine. I put the music in five different folders:
Color Keys - For mixed music, from Evanescence to Backstreet Boys.
Red Folder - For Japanese music, mostly j-pop, j-rock and anime music that don’t have an own folder.
Common Sense - For rather instrumental and classical music like pieces for violin, piano, cello and stuff. There’s also my small collection of Bond music.
Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNICLE- - As the name already says, this contains my favourite tracks from the CLAMP series. I love Yuki Kajiura-samas music!
Wolf’s Rain - For the music from the great series.
Right now I’m sitting here and listening to “Kopperia no hitsugi”, also by Yuki Kajiura. It’s so wonderfully curvy beautiful! Oh, something else is also great: “Canta per me” from YK also, it belongs to “Noir” too and is so heavy and golden, multi-layered and... woah. It’s overwhelmingly beautiful.

Yesterday, I had a full violin lesson (I usually take half ones because I can’t afford more)! Instead of just 20 minutes, I had 45 minutes. My teacher, Mrs Strohe, is really nice indeed.
I had to practice several quite easy melodies at home and then play them at the musical school. Then, my teacher joined me in playing and did the second voice. It sounded like real music! It was so wonderful! I could have played on forever! It also gave me one interesting synesthetic experience. I still don’t project, but it was like Mrs Strohe’s violin made a network of multi-colored strings that embedded Manon’s (I call my violin Manon, it’s a French girl name) strings of music. It was really weird and enticing at the same time.
Afterwards, my teacher complimented my sense of rhythm (she said that many pupils have great problems with it in the beginning when they play with someone else) and how I immediately corrected myself, or at least tried to, when I heard that Manon was not sounding right.

Well, that’s it for now, I guess. See you!
