Well I tuned the guitar all by myself (no tuner, just using the starting E)and Phrozt said I did really well and did the scales twice and my hand hurts already...I have uber tiny hands so this is gonna be hard to do well but I'm gonna try!
Did you use an online tuner to make sure the E was at least in tune? Tongue
It doesn't ultimately matter for practicing, of course, so long as the guitar is in tune with itself.

My finger tips hurt too...since I'm gonna hafta build up calluses...It will be good to learn and practice though Smilie
I've been practicing a lot and I'm still forming my calluses. You'll get initial ones that will get you by fairly soon, though. I've gone through two top layers so far.

I'm on a "Make BQ more awesome" kick...I'm working out more and running some, trying to work on projects and get some books read...I will be the best BQ I can be! And learning guitar will be part of that Big Grin
Be careful, that could get dangerous!

Meh, yes, and yes.
We've been texting for days, and none of the conversation was particularly scintillating on her end there, but I thought maybe it would be better in person. Not so much. After we ate, we walked around some more, went into a "goofy crap" store (collectibles, antiques, etc, they had a Pink Panther bike and a walk/don't walk sign for sale out on the sidewalk).

Yep. I guess I'll get good at that too.
well you weren't really excited about it
I'm glad you gave it a shot but maybe you'll want to be more judicious with your time in the future-- like if you see the myspace angles, and you don't have a lot of not in person chemistry, you don't have to go out with them to make it official. There's no rush. You have the girls and dealing with k and guitar and your work.... oh and SD Wink

Trying to keep El Jay in his toddler bed and I am losing. This kid doesn't know how to shut down. He gets up and says he needs a toy. I told him I've had enough, it is 10 pm and he is the bigest lollygagger ever. He responds, "I'm just a kid, I'm only 3 years old."

He's still babbling on about how he wants to get up and shut the door and do worker jobs.

I'll take the tranq gun now please.

The problem is I don't dare fall asleep or he'll be up and out of bed doing lawd knows what.

F1 methinks your evening is starting to look stellar in comparison to mine. Roll

I wish that were the case...but I'm nowhere near the awesomeness of some of my girlfriends...I wish I had their awesome!

So I'm sure there's still plenty to go around...

I did pay. I don't know if I specifically had to.

I'm actually pretty excited. I discovered that linux on the Chromebook has been greatly improved in the past month or so. So, I'm about to have a pretty sweet linux box for travel. Ubuntu's installing right now.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Earlier I textd mom to thank them for dinner and she replies "Your welcome." I replied, "YOU'RE /grammer nazi." Her response, "I no." My mother is yanking my chain. Crying

This is awesome because Sublime Text's license works across OSes and computers. With everything hosted on beanstalk, I have a very suitable box for development work that I can take pretty much anywhere and has a crazy battery life.

Too bad about China girl, but I think you can do much better. Wink
