   Spent about an hour in the simple pleasure of noodling about
   with piano. In this case; not live piano, but a Decent
   Sampler plugin and Ableton Live. I forget to let myself like
   things like this: I'm not composing, it's not deliberate
   practice, I'm using a simple tool (the Lite version of Live)
   -- it's just play. But play is good.

   I also did a bunch of reading, some YouTube watching and
   some oil painting. If I'd have cycled too it would have been
   almost the perfect day of self-indulgence. Every _single_
   time I have a day like this I think "I should do this more
   often" but the fact I'm writing about it shows: I haven't
   successfully built the habit.
