My new girlfriend:
And of course some Ben Folds:
Personally I am still sucking about 8 pounds of balls on the ukulele, but I HAVE been practicing which is surprising. I think I need an actual live teacher though in addition to just books and Youtube videos. I need someone to, like, grab my hands and stuff.

10 Random Things About Me
Ok, so I am like cross-contaminating my blog worlds here, but anyway, here goes. Ten random things about me:
1.) I don't mind the taste of mint (toothpaste, gum, etc.) but I don't like mint flavored foods (ice cream, thin mints, etc.).
2.) I've been swearing since I was at least ten.
3.) My first car was a 1990 Toyota Tercel. Somebody named it the Flaming Maple because it was red and because the speedometer was in kilometers per hour instead of miles per hour, indicating that it came from Canada. It was pretty crappy but I didn't mind it.
4.) I can't touch my toes; not even close.
5.) I have a pair of bowling shoes from Stuckeybowl, the bowling alley from the TV show Ed, which I was obsessed with in college. Unfortunately they are not my size.
6.) I am learning to cook. Every Sunday I find a recipe online and make it, with Bill's help. So far I have made jambalaya, beef stew, spicy mac and cheese, and a rad Thai chicken and shrimp stir-fry, among others. No major failures....yet.
7.) Before I started at my current job, I had worked at 7 different jobs in 7 years and had never worked in one place for more than six months. I am now at 2.5 years in one place...it's crazy!
8.) I think honeymooning in Hawaii is totally cliche, but I really, really want to do it.
9.) For two years I insisted that the crazy itching I have on my legs was not due to a cat allergy, but I'm starting to admit to myself that that's probably exactly what it is.
10.) Other careers I would enjoy include jewel thief, tattoo artist, Jeopardy clue writer, TV critic, and baker.
Good lord, that took me forEVER. I hope you appreciate it. ;)
