Yamaha AvantGrand N3: One year and 9 months later

Yamaha AvantGrand N3: One year and 9 months later

AvantGrand in Wichita

In January of 2010, I purchased the Yamaha AvantGrand N3 as a replacement for my aging keyboard and to prepare myself for life outside of school. Now, almost two years later and a unbelievable amount of music later, I’m revisiting my thoughts.

The larger a body, the more slowly it moves

GoDaddy was making me want to brain myself (IIS6 with PHP in safe mode!!!! ARRRRGHHHHHH), so I took a break, bought a swashy font (Parfumerie Script Pro) off my wishlist, and went to town setting a sentence and then tracing it with a metallic gel pen. Might have to frame this one and put it in my office as a patience reminder.

Smart purchase: Corningware Mugs

Smart purchase: Corningware Mugs

Corningware Mug

It fits a decent (i.e. filling but not fattening) portion of food, vents for the microwave, AND is freezer-, fridge-, microwave-, and oven-safe. We’ve been bringing pasta with cheese on top for lunch and we can get it hot enough to completely melt the cheese while still being able to pick up the mug to eat. Should also be great for stews in the wintertime and even cold foods. I call that a win.

$10 at Amazon, but we found them for $9 at Wegman’s.

I have never wanted to spend $60 on a font so badly in my life. If only I could split the cost with Vivian…
