I'm not sure what time I went to bed. I listed 10 Ebay things and ate some, and settled in to watch the latest Adam Curtis documentary, the last two episodes, and just played "stuff". Not grinding away on the 4-note figures so much but just messing around to keep it interesting. I now seem to be able to play not only the low, or otsu register, but all of kan, which is the next one up. It's possible to go higher than that, too, but that will be for later.
I also watched the little documentary with Peter Barakan about the shakuhachi, which I've watched before but it'd been a couple of years. It's still excellent. One of the players says eventually the shakuhachi to be "like a part of your body; like your arm" and that's what I want to accomplish. Hence all the random playing around last night.
