Windows 10

Don't get excited. This post has nothing to do with Windows 10.

Two things happened again.

1. I responded to another Craigslist ad for female vocals. I feel better about this one because it's more than one person, and I responded the day after the post. Also, I think they have a sense of humor. They said that they would respond "with the quickness".

Maybe it's just a bunch a teenagers trying to start a garage band.
Somehow, that idea doesn't deter me. Oh, what it would be to go back and be 17 again but without acne and a fear of public speaking!

2. I'm starting to feel the strong need to start biking to work again. My job is only 8 miles away from my house now. I wrote down the reasons why I haven't done it yet, and my solutions beside them.
Here were the results:
1. I have to carry a backpack -----> Get a bike basket.
2. I have to wake up way earlier -----> #dealz
3. There's traffic around the interstate -----> #dealz

#dealz is a term that Mike invented to connote "Deal with it."

So I guess I'm just going to have to get a bike basket, affix it to my vehicle, and deal.

Speaking of dealz, I don't understand why glasses.com sends me an e-mail every day with their sales and dealz. Do people really buy new eyeglasses as often as they buy... other things?

There are few things I hate more than being marketed to.

What if I got saddlebags instead of a bike basket?
And I rode a horse instead of a bike?

So many possibilities,

Today wouldn't be today without an awkward 21-square comic.

Fun fact: I spilled coffee on page 2 while writing it. I cropped it out, but you can still kind of see it on the left side.

This Risk

Today I did one of the riskiest things known to man.

I responded to a Craiglist ad.

Something about needing female vocals for chorus harmonies on an EP. 

The ad was about a week old, so who knows if I'll even get a reply.

I still feel nervous, though.

This is like that time I got into a car with strangers in Chicago.

Or like that time I bought a bike from a guy on Craigslist.

You know. Either/or.

What if it's like some old dude from Sonic Youth,

Do gift cards count as assets?
'Cause I have a lot of gift cards.

We STILL have not bought curtains for our living room yet. I'm not really sure how doing so will change my life, but I once thought the very same thing about ice and a toaster, and now my life will never be the same without ice cold water and jam on toast.

It's still puzzling to me how curtains are called "window treatments". When I hear that term, I think of it being one step up from the silent treatment. Like, instead of ignoring your adversary, you throw them out of a window.
A defenestration, as it were.
A window treatment.
It's a life changer.

Today was semi-exciting. On Thursday, my capo broke. The metal just snapped when I tried to use it. I was upset, but then I remembered that the thing was about 10 years old. Just like clothespins don't last forever, I guess capos don't either.

I made plans to go to the guitar store this morning, but then I realized that I had these cool coupons from an Enmark for free breakfast that just happened to be on the same road as the guitar store.
And then I realized that breakfast stopped being served at 10:30.
It was 10:11.
So Mike and I promptly hopped in the car and got to the Enmark just in time for the best free vanilla latte I've ever had. And then we went to the guitar store and bought a new capo.

I also made a kiwi peach smoothie today. Just like any sitcom, it started off pretty good, but got worse over time. I think it's because the acid in the kiwi started to sour the yogurt.

When I was born, I was so surprised, I didn't talk for a year and a half,

Feelings

Came home today.

Ate dinner.

Edged the front lawn.

Played guitar.

*poof*

Just like that. 

My night was gone.

I'm doing this "time management" thing more halfheartedly than the way Iron & Wine sings Fever Dream.

But they fixed the ice machine at work, so that's been cool,
