iTunes 8-Ball

Go to your iTunes library and set it on shuffle. Ask the first of these questions, push play, and record the song title as your answer. Ask the second question, advance the list, and continue…

1. What do you think of me, iTunes?
2. Will I have a happy life?
3. What do my friends really think of me?
4. Do people secretly lust after me?
5. What does [insert significant other] think of me?
6. How can I make myself happy?
7. What should I do with my life?
8. Why must life be so full of pain?
9. How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?
10. Will I ever have children?
11. Will I die happy?
12. Can you give me some good advice?
13. Do you know where your children are?
14. What do you think happiness is?

I ran this twice (once from my library, and once from my smart playlist I always listen to), and posted the answers in the comments section. My iTunes is psychotic and scares me.

Extra Nipples

Sonofabitch it’s been too long since updating this. Here goes.

I did some more waterski tournaments, and skied ok in some of them, traveled way too far for one of them. My camera got stollen at the UCDavis tournament, that sucked. But on the bright side, I now have a very legitimate reason to hate California(ns)!

The UO Waterski Club is all approved and such, with partial funding even. Got probably 25 sign ups so far, should be a lot of fun once things get rolling, er boating, er… you get the idea.

Spent the afternoon Tuesday getting parts for my ski, my bike (including spokes– which came with spoke-nipples– which explains the title here), and being indecisive about a guitar tuner. I may need to head to GuitarWorld to check out the prices there. FWIW, I bought an electric guitar from my flatmate’s ex-girlfriend, and am taking guitar lessons this term, yay for fun.

Went to the Go Betty Go!/Voodoo Glow Skulls/Flogging Molly show last night. Go Betty Go! was excellent. I hadn’t head anything from them before the show, but I really dug their set. The only way I can think of to describe them is “all female punk band”.. and damn good at it. Who do voodoo I don’t. *shrug* The Voodoo Glow Skulls did put on a good set as well, but I’m just not a ska fan at all. Sorry guys. Then Flogging Molly came on… I’d seen them once before (at Warped Tour ’04 in Minneapolis). They have got to be one of my favorite bands to see live! But come on, Guinness in red plastic cups, wtf?!

omgwtfwaterskiing

So in the past week, I’ve gone waterskiing last Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (yesterday)! This is crazy! But it has costed me my hands:

Yesterday I could barely hold onto the rope. But the good news (sorta) is I now get a week off from waterskiing, and I can let my hands heal a bit. Also I have the opportunity to get a considerably newer ski for quite a reasonable price. There is a question I have yet to ask the owner of it though before I write a check for it.

Besides waterskiing, I’ve been trying to teach myself some guitar riffs and chords the past few days. I just need to keep on messing with it. I’ve picked up almost one riff a day, and been working on all of them to get the timing better and sounding cleaner.

It’s weird to find out people actually read this site. I often (ok maybe not so often), rant about things, or talk about things that happen in my life, but it feels kinda funny to find out who reads the site, especially the blog.

In other unrelated news (I guess I’m going for the the post most unrelated to itself today), I’ve listed my laptop for sale, and have had 2 people interested so far, but only one has made a somewhat serious offer (quite below my asking price). If I don’t get an offer of something reasonably close to what I’m asking, I may just keep it at least for the summer.

All that and my summer vacation/trip starts soon. Will be very nice to see everyone again! Well, that’s it for now.
