I'm gonna need a new icon
I have some music icons (such as this one), and I have one for work (the ringing, old-timey phone) but I don't have a musical icon for any of the kinds of music I actually make. Never got around to making a dulcimer icon mainly because I had to put the computer away in order to play the dulcimer in the first place. Anyway, I'm gonna have to find some kind of cool violin icon for myself for when I'm posting about my new musical project. I'm not going to be too detailed here. I'm doing another blog on the www.stringcommunity.com site so all my work peeps can see it. If any of you have any interest in seeing it, I'm over there as...wait for it...Wednes.
I will mention that I got a travel music stand for half price because there was a rip in the carrying bag. I don't plan to carry it around much anyway. I got some books (essential elements, one on note reading, and some other basic stuff), a CD and/or DVD, a shoulder rest we don't carry anymore, a cleaning cloth, and some light rosin. I also dug up H's camera which I couldn't find but was hiding in plain sight. Now I can take pics of all my accessories and post them in my new blog. I intend to also buy a light for the music stand, some kind of chinrest comforter, and a spare set of strings. My discount is only 10% which I daresay is kind of low considering that most of the employees at my work are serious musicians. Even Whole Foods is 20%.
Speaking of pictures, I can't figure out how to get a piccie of my new hair that is actually truthful. For some reason, our living room lamp has a 60-watt bulb in it. I need to go by some 100's or 120's so I can see my hand in front of my face. The hair is quite dark, and a bit blue. H is color blind so he can't see the blue, but my work peeps totally noticed. Happily, they all said kind things. I really love that I so thoroughly enjoy my co-workers.
I was looking for the Wolfman Trailer and saw this thing called Avatar which I had not heard of until just this minute. I assumed it had something to do with that Last Airbender thing from Nickelodeon. I'm not well versed in Anime, but Anime fantasy is certainly the least annoying kind of fantasy (except JK Rowling and Roald Dahl, obviously). But no...it's some other thing from the mind of James Cameron. I can only assume there's a big boat in it. Seriously, though it looks pretty cool. But it was not what I went to Apple Trailers for. I very much wanted to post the new Wolfman trailer for you, but embedding is disabled. So here. 'tis a good looking one. Kind of looks like Coppola's Dracula without Keanu Theodore Logan Matrix fucking it up. I predict that after Jekyll, I will loathe him even more.

LOL, I say this as a person who cannot crochet despite trying many times and being taught at least thrice. After all this time, I can still only knit with a loom. Maybe my lack of finger-to-brain communication affects my playing. Perhaps all my recent video game training will help. They say it's good for hand-eye coordination.
We do have those clips at my work. It seems like we have everything one could ever want for string playing at my work. It's very unusual for a customer to ask for something we don't already sell.

I'm also interested in a lot of various topics and in learning about new stuff. I get bored if I have to concentrate too long and too much just on one topic. In one of his books on writing, Lawrence Block observed how he used to feel bad how he would get intensely interested in various topics for a short time, and then moved on. He realized that this characteristic was extremely helpful to him as a writer because it gave him so much material to use for his writing.
