I have, after only four decades of procrastination, started learning to play the guitar. I can currently play a somewhat adequate E chord, and a really crappy, buzzing, unreliable A. When I perfect these two and add a third, I will be able to play every song the Ramones ever recorded, and indeed about half of the entire body of popular music. In entirely related news, the fingertips of my left hand hurt, except for the index finger, which has gone numb. You'd think I would have built up calluses from all the typing I do.
My life of late has been absurdly busy, accounting in part for my absence from LJ. (In part, because I also just felt like taking an LJ vacation.) The biggest current news is that I am about to have three housemates -- the residents of Hazard House will be living with me for a few months while they prepare and execute various new plans. This will be fun; I haven't had friends living within walking distance (much less shout-down-the-hall distance) in many years.
