To celebrate not having exams a couple of us are going to see Sin City tomorrow. Does anyone else want to come?

We'll probably have food first, and then go to the 9.10 showing.

My sister used to read books and play the piano at the same time.

Mwa? How??

She put the book on the music-standy bit.

After a minute of thinking I figured out that that would be possible physically. I'm still confounded that anyone can manage it coordinationwise.

she was playing tunes she knew?

Well, I would hope so! But not being a musician I assumed even a simple tune would require enough coordination to rule it out.

I suppose you can *talk* while playing, and if you can play blind and fix your eyes on the book it should be ok, but it just sounded 'umglehowhow?' :)

it was only awkward when I wanted to turn pages. There are some songs I can play blindfold, literally, I've played them so much...

Fair enough. I'm still amazed, though I've never tried so I don't know how hard it really is.

I used to try that, but it was never particularly successful and my mother used to go mental when she caught me.

Cello finger exercises and reading worked better :)
