Well, I just checked, and I’m a bit out of date with wordpress. Not good. Looks like I’ll actually have to get around to getting a linux box back up and running. This is the one problem with running this on my own. I actually have to maintain the damn thing. Oh well.
As much as Gin doesn’t want me to type and wants me to pay attention to him, I’m going to try to get a blog post written before I pass out.
Spent most of the evening, when I wasn’t at work, in front of my piano. I wish I had spent more time practicing when I was a kid. Then again, having it forced on me kind of made me not want to do it. Regardless, it makes me sad that, while I can manage a few tunes on the piano, I can’t really sit down and play the thing. I think I’m going to get a basic piano book and start working out of it. There’s a lot of basic stuff I never picked up and kind of would like to know.
I’ve kind of gotten into the whole Piano kick recently. Not sure what it is, but I just felt compelled. Maybe it has to do with me listening to a lot of Ben Folds and Billy Joel recently. But I kind of feel that’s more a reaction to my desire to play my piano. Regardless, maybe I’ll actually take the time to play the thing.
I’ve also had a serious jonesing to play drums. It’s odd, though, because I’m not feeling as strong a desire to play marching stuff as I am to play kit. Thankfully, a friend of mine said he’d let me use his electronic kit while he remodels his house. I’m definitely going to take him up on that, because I also would like to be able to say I can play drums, just not kit. It doesn’t help that someone left a pair of drumsticks in my cube and I’ve been drumming on my legs.
I’m not sure if it’s a sign of maturity, or just I’m getting tired of the same old, same old, but for some reason, the thought of not going out but just hanging at the house playing
So I’m now officially back in the Puget Sound. Well, I guess not officially, more like just recorded here on the blog.
Regardless, it’s, as always, a mixed blessing to be back in Seattle. It’s good to sleep in my own bed again (finally). And it’s also nice to be able to work out again. (It’s been two weeks and it’s been driving me crazy) It’s also just kind of nice to be back in the office around everything that is familiar. I kind of have life going at a semi-steady clip now.
I also miss my friends from Princeton and Boston. Not to mention I miss living on the East Coast. But, well, some things can’t really be helped. It also sucks when Reunions end, but well, that’s just a truth. Reunions ending is never good. Oh well, it’s only a year till the next one.
Anyway, best not to get too down. There’s really too much to be doing right now. Correction, there’s too much I want to be doing with myself. Besides the con, I want to get involved with some other activities that people have been trying to get me to do. Yeah, there’s just a lot to get done. It’s high time I filled my life with some real things to do. Beyond just going to the club.
Anyway, I’m back in Seattle. It seems I’ve got my blogging jones back. And I have a small bit of a plan moving forward. Let’s just see where this rabbit hole goes.
