A7 Altered

Today I learned how to play the melody from Tune Up, by Miles Davis.  This doesn't sound like much, but sadly it took me forever to sit down and actually get around to doing it.

Once I did, it took all of half an hour.

That's the stupid part about music.  I can work on a song for months - some aspects of it anyway - and not get around to the melody until... now?  Are you kidding?  And it only took a little bit of time!  Why hadn't I figured this out sooner?  Gah, how frustrating.

But, well, it is what it is.  I've resigned myself to the fact that, at this point, my progress will just be slow.  Take right now for instance; there are any number of things I could be doing with my time this instant.  Instead, I'm... recuperating.  I don't feel like I have the mental energy at the moment to accomplish anything beyond listening to some music, reading an article or two, and posting here.

Maybe a video game, but I don't have any of those.  At least, none that I'm willing to pick up right now.

So... whew, here I am.

Tomorrow I'm not going into the office until the afternoon, most likely.  Going to head over to our client's place in the morning instead to meet with the gentleman there who'll be doing the page integration on their side.  Should be a good meeting!

I can't believe tomorrow is already Friday.  It's odd how life just gets increasingly faster paced the older you get.  Every year I feel like time is slipping by faster and faster.  I don't even know where this week went - it's just gone.

Man, I'm sleepy.

Hello Worf, eat any good books lately? Delicious.

Whew.

Today was mostly full of semi-expected things jumping out at me.

First was a trip to one of our new clients' offices, which I didn't really know about until yesterday. The second was a last minute guitar lesson which I didn't know about until about 5:00 PM.

Together, they make me want to just... sit now.

Dinner today involved an apple, some cheese, crackers and hummus, and...

Get ready for it.

No, really, get ready.

Here we go!

... A cashew butter and Reese's Pieces sandwich on lovely, soft sourdough bread.

BOOYAH.

I've never had something so tasty in sandwich form.

Turns out, Gourmet Market down in Porter is currently selling big containers of Reese's Pieces for $2.99. It's awesome. It's like... tons of them. It made me want to cry for joy. (Well, kinda.)

Not so bad.

In my guitar lesson tonight, I learned how to do a lovely 2-5-1 progression on the top strings, with all sorts of tasty chord extensions thrown in. Thrilling! This is one of those nights I imagine, someday, I might actually be decent at this stuff if I get enough of these little gestures under my belt.

I can't believe it's already Thursday. I have no idea where this week went. I'm not entirely sure what I need to get done tomorrow at work, though I imagine one of my readers out there can help me figure that out. ;)

For now, I think I might try to edit yonder story that I mentioned last night. It could use some work...
