Dinner, Oscars and Such
So, it's not the eating out alone, it's being seen eating out alone that is a bother..
Guitar goal now is to learn a new song every month. When I say learn, I mean memorize for that future campfire too. Can't be carrying around a music stand and strong enough light to see it by now can I? I'm sure Rhiannon and Toinette have wrestled with just such conundrums before. Don't worry about February being too short a month, I've been doing this month's song for two months now, and almost have it. I have two songs that need polishing. Not telling yet. When they are polished and ready to go public then I will admit which songs they are.
I have now heard the voice of the electric guitar! Rosco brought a borrow amp and cable for me last week. It has a few minor adjustments that he would like to attend to, like needing some soldering work on the plug out. Nothing he can't fix for me. It is fun to play. In fact, I'm planning the March song special just for the electric. Not to worry, I will be able to play it on the acoustic too when done.
I'm talking to another friend about playing together like Rhiannon and I did at Christmas. As long as Angie understands I'm the weak link, I think we'll be okay. I (unsurprisingly) have a horrid practice ethic. Maybe jamming with someone else will inspire me better.
With the understanding that if Kate ever does get that drum kit, we are quitting life and forming a band. Just so you know.
I now have cable TV again. Well, you can't watch the Oscars without it! Judging by just how badly everyone spoiled the ending to Downton Abbey season 3, does anyone really think they can keep it in if they hear who wins all the Oscars? Yeah, I know, no one really cares a whole lot this year, but we will party on anyway. I managed to see 5 of the 9 film of the year nominees, and I still don't really have a favorite. I lean toward Life of Pi, and Le Miserables', but I don't really care that hard. I probably would care that much for Lincoln, if I had seen it.
So, I'm working on cleaning and keeping the house clean this week instead of killing myself Saturday. I'm sure there will be plenty of that anyway, as it's going to rain the next two days and big foot the spotted dog loves to go in and out the doggie door 15 times an hour. Funny how the condition of my floors (in terms of layers of dirt) effect how I feel about myself. Confident? Probably have clean floors. Inadequate? Grungy floors. But, I can do the other things, laundry up, dishes, clean the kitchen, make sure the frig has something in it besides booze.
