Things I am curious to learn how to count: guitar strings? as opposed to actual guitars. Frets. Notes of music. I'm guessing sheets of music would also be mai. Songs would be tsu? I may have to make a list.

私は

音楽の本を　よんさつ　もっています。
にっきを　ななさつ　もっています。
ロシアの本を　にさつ　もっています。
スペイン語のざっしを　いっさつ　もっています。

ティン・ホイッスルを　さんぼん　もっています。
ギターを　いっぽん　もっています。
ぼう（？）を　にほん　もっています。　(Quarterstaff type)
けんを　（かたなを？）　ごほん　もっています。　And they're all under my bed. When we move I really need to clean them up again.
hairstickを　いっぽん　もっています。　
ふでを　じゅっぽん　もっています。

音楽のかみを　じゅうにまい　もっています。
アキラのポスターを　にまい　もっています。
家族のしゃしんを　さんまい　もっています。　Or, well, chemical pictures and so on.

Hm. That's about all I can come up with today.


Ow. Ow. And ow. Fucking fingertips. Fucking scales. That make me jump over four frets. Which is why I practice, yes, I know this, headvoices, but that doesn't make me any happier about it. On the other hand, guitar practice was easier today than it has been in a while, I'm making headway on Who By Fire, and I've learned a scale. Blues scale C, for those of you keeping track at home. This is really kind of awesome, it's reinforcing my idea that yes, I can do this and yes, I should be practicing like this. It makes me feel good. Also, Ben&Jerry's Red Velvet Cake ice cream is fucking phenomenal. Yes, those two things are related.

Oof. I'm debating what to do about my website and webspace, since my original hosting provider person, well, there are Circumstances. We'll leave it at that. And I think what I'm going to end up doing is relocating my fannish website somewhere, maybe with less fanfic and more random fanspew like big fanfic works, mixes, etc. Those Dark Tower Beam poems I keep saying I'm going to write and lately might actually do so. And also making a website that has more professional person stuff on it. Would anyone like to weigh in on what a professional person website should even have? Leaning more towards professional author person, but possibly also adapted to other stuff, depending. When I actually get to making more than a bare bones site I'll probably peruse some advice blogs/lecture notes/etc to see what they have to say, but for now, interwebs! Enlighten me.

So glad tomorrow's Friday. So glad it's a three day weekend. I've got my list of stuff to do, meat to marinate, things, stuff. I might even go to the library and get out Guns, Germs & Steel because from what people are saying, my belief about Jared Diamond's ethnocentrism is misplaced. His shoddy methods, maybe not so much. Memory might not serve me as well as I could wish seeing as it was ten years ago and I hated it with a fiery passion, but then again, eh. You never know. On the other hand by the time I finally free up time to actually read it I might have forgotten all about it. Right now, Bio-Informatics for Dummies calls. Which is not the most scintillating of books, but it's useful as research. Next up, Astrophysics for Dummies. Or maybe just Physics. Does Space Travel for Dummies exist? Hmmmmm.
