Random Observations

I went out on the weekend and bought a stack of bath-bombs. So I can now relax in nice-smelling water.
Unfortunately, I'm being dutifully water-conscious due to the drought, so it takes me about a week to water my garden with the bathwater before I can use my bath again. Showers are all well and good, but they're not nearly so much fun.

I think I'm doomed to do Excel spreadsheets from now until the day I die.

Juno is an awesome movie. And I really want the soundtrack (if only for the "vampires" song they play over the closing credits! It was so cute!).

Guitar is incredibly complicated, but still a lot of fun to play.

There are few things quite as nice as drinking hot chocolate in a warm house on a cold day, with your cat purring next to you.

Bath-bombs are amazing.

I didn't know you played guitar, what kind? If you don't mind me being nosie.

Umm... I'm not actually sure. It's acoustic, but other than that? Not a clue.

I'm actually a piano player, most of the time. But now that I'm living by myself, I can't afford a piano. And I missed music so much - so I asked my sister if I could borrow her guitar for a while.
I only knew three chords, but I've done YEARS of musical theory during the piano-lessons era, so I've managed to figure out a whole bunch of different chords. And I'm trying to make melodies using individual notes, as well.

So yeah - complicated, but really exciting when I finally learn how to do new stuff!

Ah, gotcha. Nifty. Learning new stuff is always exciting, especially if you figure it out yourself.

I was just being curious, cause I play acoustic guitar too. Since I was a wee one. :]

Cool. We should start a band...

-saunters off trying to think of a good band name-
