Ginger beards and strings

The picture at left....the first thing I saw on Saturday morning. If you see this lurking in your bedroom door in the wee hours, you really have drunk too much beer and need to re-affirm your lifestyle. He kipped at my place with the girl he picked up; he did some very adult things on my BLACK sofa bed.I'm still in two minds on whether or not to drag it outside and torch it.

It's 9:30 in the evening and for some reason I'm feeling really bouncy and chirpy. It's not a good way to be at this time in the evening, personally speaking I'd rather be feeling lethargic yet relaxed and at peace with the world. Something tells me I'm not going to be sleeping well tonight!

Today has been Guitar Day - I usually get some playing in every day because things start to slip if the practice stops. The regime today; loosened off the truss rod in the Prince acoustic, because the string action's gone finger snappingly high. Playing should be a happy experience, not something that's liable to leave me with chronic RSI. Wanted to drop the action on the electric as well, but not got an allen key small enough to fit, so that'll have to wait till the weekend. Cyndi Lauper's Time after Time is now down pat, as are the opening bars to Stone Sours Zyzzyx Road (horribly technical and requiring the growth of extra fingers on the left hand).

The tips of my left hand are now rock hard again, of which I'm obscenely proud even if it does feel wierd and freaky when you stroke 'em :)
