Damn Good Weekend So Far
Can't complain about this much needed weekend. Its been mostly relaxing for me, which is always a good thing. Friday night I just chilled out at home. I changed the strings on my guitar, which was much needed and always a ton of fun! Seth was over, helping Shari and her dad put together an elliptical machine she bought in lieu of a gym membership. Once her parents left Seth and I finished it up, only to realize we put the hand bars on backwards. The right one on the left, and the left one on the right. The thing still works, but it kind of prevents you from folding it up properly, which is the whole reason Shari got it. We need to fix that sometime today, but they're not around at the moment, so thats a no go.
Saturday was the usual, to my parents house to see them, the dog, do my laundry and my guitar lesson. I showed up at my lesson and my teacher said I was his last client of the day, so we had all the time in the world. That resulted in an hour long lesson that was a lot of fun, just working on some tunes I wanted to work on. I brought Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle" with me to get the chorus and the solo down, and with some work I should be able to handle the solo. Go me! Then I played the opening riff of Lit's "My Own Worst Enemy", which I had tought myself the previous night. I remember my teacher's band playing it when I saw them a few weeks ago and he said, cool, now do you want to learn how to do it right? Smart ass. I was playing it right, but there's just certain little nuances you add to make it sound better. Cool though. So after the hourlong marathon lesson I headed back to the parents place, took a nap, awoke to find my clothes ironed, so I packed up and hit the road. Grabbed some take out on the way home and watched the Ranger game.
I've also been talking to this girl online for the past few days, and on the phone last night for awhile. She lives about ten minutes or so from my parents and actually works at the hospital attached to the University I went to, which is about 5 minutes from my parents. Hopefully we'll get together soon to see if it clicks between us. I'm not going to get my hopes up, but I have a good feeling about this one. Its about time too!
Thats about it. About to hit the shower and head over to Guitar Center to buy my teacher a gift card for the holidays. I figured its the least I could do, what with all the extra lesson time and what not. But thats just me and the type of guy I am! Have a great Sunday everyone!
