Smile you sonofa--

Roy Schieder has shuffled off this mortal coil. Sad times. So much for my idea for a Seaquest reunion. I'll have to get the DeLuise kids back on TV some other way.

My dulcimer arrived in the mail today, despite the tracking saying it is going to Brooklyn. They are fast tracking another one to me, so whichever one looks best, I am keeping. I haven't opened it up yet, H is hogging the big table while watching Sarah Connor Chronicles. So far, it's tiny and it's a weird kind of orange color. I may paint it or something, I'll have to research what I can do.

I'm looking for a tabulature of Greensleeves in DAA tuning. I found one in DAd but I'm not quite ready to go to a new tuning yet. Anyway, my new dulcimer seems like a nice, very basic starter instrument, I'm going to have a riotous blast playing on it. I eventually won an eBay auction for a dulcimer kit, so my buddy Steve and I will likely get started on that soon.

I hear that at my work, they use reviews as a means to gank people's bonuses. I just found out what my bonus is supposed to be, should be interesting to see what i actually get. I'm new to the concept of actually making less money for doing a sub par job, which I'm convinced my job performance will be viewed as. My sales are average, but I still screw up on a fairly regular basis. So we shall see.

Tomorrow I have to be up early, but I'm not remotely tired. Fie.

Jaws was great, but my favorite two Roy Schieder movies were Blue Thunder and 2010.

Well, you're allowed to be wrong.

;-]

I've never seen Blue Thunder. What's it about?

It's about an LA cop who has to learn to fly a fancy helicopter, and finds out there are more implications to the use of the helicopter than originally disclosed.

Several of the DeLuise boys appear randomly on the Stargate franchise. :)

Greensleves isn't really happy in DAA or DAD tuning. It's got some accidentals (sharps/flats) that require either extra frets or a different tuning. I am able to make a decent go of it in...hmmm...It might be DAG tuning. I might as well work it out tomorrow before I inspect your new instrument.

No, we don't. Just violins, violas, cellos and bases, oh and mandolins. We sell the Fender mandolin, and some electric string instruments.

Yeah, buying from eBay can suck.
