Video Games: Art?

So this is for Jane and Jacob. Remember that one time when you guys were arguing about whether or not video games are art? Well, I'm gonna chip in and just say that I think video games are art because of music. That is, unless, if Jane, you're gonna tell me that the music in the video games is a separate matter. Music is everything. It brings out emotion, it impassions the soul. Music makes video games art. Try this.

Louisiana!!!

My secretary wrote this. The grammar is kinda bad, but I'm not gonna fix it.


so i went to this competition. it was a pretty big deal, i was representing america. and china because i'm chinese. but america because i live here. and there were all these crazy good pianists. and they were intimidating, because their whole life is piano. but i held my own, because i'm ree lu. anyway, i had some ridiculously hard pieces and i sounded pretty good, if i do say so myself. and it was so much fun, and i learned so much, and i was sad to come home. but tosha really missed me, so i guess i had to come home at some point, because that girl is crazy. oh and i looked really handsome in my suit. and that's pretty much it. yay louisianna!


now go eat some rice.

Liszt's Mazeppa

Shout out to Adam Kim who absolutely blew me away with this piece at the Louisiana International Piano Competition. Ridiculously amazing. The melodies were gorgeous. The runs were dynamite. I have never seen someone with so much power and control over the piano. Hats off to you man.



Enjoy!
