Roundabout

Here is the recipe for turning around a bad day:
1: Have a really good guitar lesson. We spent the entire lesson on Josh Homme’s solo at the end of Little Sister, and I learned that I need to get way more aggressive about bending the strings. While I play it at a snail’s pace and with completely appalling technique, it’s still fun.
2: Visit the bookstore at your Community College, and have your life turn into an episode of Community. Which by the way cracks us up regularly. Today I’m wearing the unbelievably comfy sweatshirt I bought there proudly announcing my school spirit. I have never understood what school spirit feels like exactly, but I do understand what a really, really comfortable item of clothing feels like. If I someday do get my AA from there, I may want to be buried in this sweatshirt.
3: Make Lightroom2 do things you want it to do. I was at HCC to get the student discount on Lightroom, so now I finally own it. It’s awesome, the end. Photoshop can suck it. (Ensemble Halloween costume portrait forthcoming!)
4: Feel like the writers of some damn show ‘get’ you. Sort of. And with that, I give you the real thing:

I read your blog post on getting up on the wrong side of the bed and feel your pain. Now I’m happy you found a solution. I think a Best Buy visit might pick me up.
Lightroom is great but sometimes you still need Photoshop to do some work. My problem is remembering to put keywords in and my catalog is a giant mess of photos w/o any identifiers. Oh well.

I am the same way about keywords. I have spent so many years without them it’s hard to remember to put them in.

Good gods, the bass line on that song gets me every time. Insane.

I know right? It was making me actively frustrated that I couldn’t see Chris Squire in the video.
