The 'What happened to you today' thread

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Technically, I'm the dash in "Half-S'wit".

[Musicman247]

Pfffffffffft!

That dash is a mystical bond that has formed this Ukulele band.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Right. Everyone knows the handsome, brooding drummer is the mystical bond that forms a band.

[Avron the S'wit]

Okay, let's not be silly. Stick to the topic.

[Musicman247]

So today I will be giving my first ever ukulele lesson....over Skype! I hope it goes well, because this may open doors for me to give other lessons in the same way! Wish me luck!

[Gideon Dragontongue]

To Avron?

[Frost Mage]

Today I watched this great show called Blank Screen: The Revolution. Pretty boring after you know it's not going to start...

No, but today I'm just hanging out, and hoping that I can lie to my dad, saying that I'm going over to a friend's house tomorrow so that he doesn't have to pick me up. Hopefully it works.

[leroybrown]

I got my ukulele in the mail today! Huzzah!

Sweet! I just recently got a Uke, too! Maybe we could get a Uke band together you and I?

We could call it "Half S'wit"

Whatcha think?

That is really clever.

Today is going really really really really well. Thank's God/Jah/Allah/Yahweh/Annunaki/reptilian aliens/grey aliens or whoever else is responsible for my existence.

[Frost Mage]

What's so good about today?

[leroybrown]

Plants are growing, the breeze is blowing, and the sun is shining.

More importantly I hired a contractor that is in the process of making me money, and she is proving to be really good at it. I've a bit more work to do myself but it's all good.

[Musicman247]

To Avron?

Heh. I wish! No, just a friend that can't make it to my house for a lesson.

[Iamgoofball]

Life once again proves to me that whenever I enter contests, or any kind of thing where I have a chance at losing, even if it's a bloody 0.000000001% chance, I still bloody lose the chance.
Every.
Single.
Time.

[Eltee]

Murphy's Law, eh? What can go wrong, will go wrong.

My sympathies, Goof. What happened to specifically inspire you to make that observation?

[Iamgoofball]

Pretty much every single thing where I'm in some kind of position where randomness could effect what happens.

Which is why I now hate every single contest runner who uses randomness to pick.

[Eltee]

Mh. 99% of people are losers, when it comes to things like that.

Well, let's wallow in our loser-ness together.

*wallows*

[Jeff]

I finished up the Dr McNinja, and am current.


...friend.

[Musicman247]

Mission Accomplished! First Skype lesson was a success! Yay! Anybody else looking for lessons? PM box is open

[Iamgoofball]

I finished up the Dr McNinja, and am current.


...friend.

Isn't that the guy who Saxton Hale had to fight?

[Jeff]

Not in any of the ones I've read?

[AKB]

He's talking about Team Fortress. Why anyone cares about that games backstory is beyond me.

I finished up the Dr McNinja, and am current.


...friend.

That could of only been more impressive if you said that while in full cowboy gear on the back of a raptor.

[Jeff]

The raptor wouldn't let me ride it while I was on fire.

[Iamgoofball]

No, someone hosted a poll about who would win in a fight, and Saxton Hale did, I think.

[Frost Mage]

I watched The Big Lebowski. Need I say more?

[Avron the S'wit]

What a day.

First, I barreled through my workload in the office, which I learnt is a horrible idea, since it's always the productive ones who get the workload dumped on them. Nevertheless, I just have to remember to step back, take a deep breath, and keep on moving.

Then, I got to the train station, where I was able to have yet another glorious episode of my long acclaimed series "Waiting for the Bus" (aka "Waiting for the Train"). I started to jokingly post these on Facebook about a year ago, each based on the bizarre things that happen to me throughout the day on public transit, and it became a huge hit. Today I had a man try to tell me he liked my shoes so much I should take them off so he could examine the soles. When I protested, he goes, "What, you got stinky feet?" Needless to say, much to the delight of my friends, I think this is finally going to become a blog. It's too precious to pass up.

Afterwards I learnt how to tune my ukulele, play a few chords (C, F, and A, specifically), and that my fingers are going to be very sore because of this string business. I don't have a lot of feeling in my left hand, which is the hand that navigates the neck of the ukulele, but I can sure feel my fingertips gone numb from strings! It was super fun though.

And I just finished editing a paper for a friend. This is my first true love, editing, so it's nice to do it here and there. I wish I had remembered it sooner; it's now midnight and I've only got six hours of sleep ahead. Oh boy!
