Tidbits

I start guitar lessons on Saturday.

I decided to swing by Gio's last night on the way home and, although he wasn't there, I noticed a sign and called the number. Dan will not only teach me to tune my guitar, but he'll also teach me how to play by ear, how to read tab, how to do all the stupid shit that I haven't been able to goad myself into practicing all these years. I think maybe paying for it (and he ain't cheap) will help motivate me.

I checked my email this morning and jesus h. christ...fuck you, Orbitz.

I've only ever used Orbitz to travel 2 places. California and New York. So why, right now, when I'm having this particular type of, uhm, discomfort (understatements, anyone????) does it offer me this:

TRAVEL DEALS FOR FLORIDA ROAD TRIPS!!!



Listen, God. I get it, okay? I got it 10 years ago. I got it all the way through all the shit and all the good stuff. I still get it. You can stop dropping your little anvils. If you aren't willing to fix it or take away the pain, just fucking stop. Thanks.

It's conversations like this...

That really make me wonder where I'm going with my life....


*****: I think I need to live alone... with 40 cats
SublimeHeartache: HAHAHAHA.
SublimeHeartache: I've had that feeling a lot.
SublimeHeartache: Without the cats, though.
SublimeHeartache: I'm allergic. I've had cats.
SublimeHeartache: I love them.
SublimeHeartache: But 40 would certainly kill me.
*****: I'm allergic too...
*****: silly me
SublimeHeartache: So I was thinking more like 3 dogs.
SublimeHeartache: And a ferret.
*****: dogs force you to stay active, cats allow you to wallow in your own self pity appropriately
*****: I think that's why they're the choice of loney old ladies everywhere
SublimeHeartache: Ohhh...You know, I never thought of it like that.
SublimeHeartache: I wonder where ferrets fall.
SublimeHeartache: I mean 40 ferrets. That would get really smelly.
*****: stinky
*****: oh yeah
SublimeHeartache: But I wonder if they force the activity or allow the wallowing.
SublimeHeartache: Or if they are somewhere in between.
*****: too much cage cleaning
SublimeHeartache: Ferrets...The ultimate Pain Dullers.
SublimeHeartache: Enough activity to keep you from losing your mind, but enough independence to let you wallow.
