I so suck at updating my journal regularly these days. Admittedly, regularly for me anymore is three times a day, each with a language lesson, but there you go. And so, I present for y'all's amusement, a conversation from last night between Me and Also Me (played by guitar teacher Amber):

Me: ... these tabs are wrong. Seriously, listen to that. What the hell is that doing. That's not the solo for Unforgiven...
Amber: All right, put it away, do a couple rounds of Wish You Were Here and House of the Rising Sun, just the chord changes, and then you're done.
Me: But these tabs are wrong. Right, chord changes, yeah, I need to work on those.
Amber: You realize you've been playing for almost forty minutes now without your fingers hurting.
Me: Oh, shut up.
Amber: Just saying. Also, you're remembering why you love this. You should remember this more often.
Me: And stop grinning.

So, yeah. And then I went and updated my Amazon Wish List to include some music equipment, effects pedals and a portable amp and tab books and so on. Tab books that, according to some reviews, are horrendously put together, but they're the only tab books available for The Unforgiven and at least it's a start? I can pick it out by ear otherwise. And then Anna also got me the Celtic Fakebook for Yule and I sat and picked around on Star of the County Down and Tha Mi Sgith. Which I have now found a gorgeous version of here and I do not have it on mp3. This must be rectified.

Yuletide stories are uploaded! Or, well, almost uploaded. And I picked up another pinch hit which will require a complete re-read of some very good books. Which makes, um. Three Yuletide stories, which isn't quite the maximum I've done pre-frenzying on the Madness thing, but hey.

I am... for as weird and exhausting a week as it's been, I am surprisingly calm. And bouncy. My musician Also-Mes would like to remind me that this is because music, while not as essential for me as it is for my sister-courtesan, is good for me. Music, I suppose, and being on time with my writing projects, dear god. And having almost finished a knitting project, the boyfiend's arm-warmers, and having had the house problem very much demystified (did I mention how awesome Syn is? Because she is) and generally, for all that this week was crazy, it ended up being good and productive. And I infected someone with Plunkett and Macleane. Mua ha ha ha ha.

I have way, way too much shit to do this weekend. And have revised my to-do list to reflect all the shit I have to do, bolding the stuff I want to get done this weekend. I don't even know if that's all of it, I need to go back through the last week's worth of entries and check in post and see if anything else jogs a memory. I am a freaking busy girl and going slowly insane, but I am also incredibly happy. I figure that's a pretty good trade-off.
