Apparently, I decided that I'm going to learn how to play this fucking guitar.
Um. I've had this cheap little bastard for how long? Six years, seven? >.> And lemme tell you, I've spent more time with it today that I have, oh, ever. And I'm rather enjoying it, even if my fingers do hurt like motherbitches.
So. Double points to the guitar for coming along as a prop item.
Spent most of the time going back and forth between that and working on the Wilson-cycle timeline. Which is coming along... I don't actually have my copy of
Fences, which is somewhat aggravating... Thought I'd brought that one. So don't have that or
Jitney! on hand, but of those available, I've got half of
Ma Rainey and the entirety of
The Piano Lesson to go through, sooo... Not too bad. Particularly since
Ma Rainey doesn't have too much going on in the way of dates. Would like to go back to
Gem and see whether there's a solid way of placing the events in relation to the September date given, but... Hrn. not sure it's there. Ah well. And Wilson's got this late summer thing going with most of the plays, seems.
ALSO was able to go to the aviation museum today, so yay. :D Not
the most stellar collection, but not bad, and rather liked the set-up. Background information = a good thing, aye. There may be some pictures, because there were a couple of BI-PLANES (:D!!!), and the people-substitutes were, as tends to be the way, entertaining. A combination of lepers and highly androgynous individuals. Right, and there was apparently a jetpack demonstration going on, so... a guy flew around a little bit with a jetpack? XD I don't know; I almost started laughing my ass off soon as that one started, but eh. BI-PLANES ARE SO MUCH MORE AWESOME.
Speaking of which, I needs to go to Dayton at some point.
OH NO I DID NOT REALIZE THEY HAVE A FOKKER DR. I NOW I VERY CLEARLY MUST GET OVER THERE because seriously, it's a few hours away. All right, maybe a bit more than "a few" implies, but 's'not a bad day trip, and... and... BI-PLANES. O_o And other planes. But mostly BI-PLANES. :D
I'm a dumbass. I left the coffee on the desk. What the fuck. >.< And said coffee? I do not want to serve it to the subscribers. Oh no. Because they are randomly very passively pissy about their free coffee. LADY, IF I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO DUMP EIGHT CREAMERS IN THE CUP, I WOULD HAVE LEFT IT HALF FUCKING EMPTY, ALL RIGHT, FINE? Egh. Ah well.
I dislike people very much much.
Also got to play avoid Mountain View during the afternoon (um, arts festival? yeahhhh, too many fucking people), then returned later on for further exploration of the ultra-excellent sued book store. Which may have been a bad thing but, um, cheap books = yay? And so many, whoo. Previous venture into said store resulted in a few purchase-things... BECAUSE BOTH VOLUMES OF THE SCHEAFFER O'NEILL BIO WERE THERE and there were really quite inexpensive and have been intending to buy them so, um, yes. ALSO apparently Jose Quintero has a published memoir-book. For fucking serious. Had I known, I would've been searching for this... And
damn. I want to punch him in the nose at times, but so very, very worth it. Because I kind of read ahead and glanced through some of the
Iceman bit, and... yes. A whollllle lot of win.
Was going to check out tidepool-mania or some such thing tomorrow, but times look to be in the not working out range... bother. >.< And again I say, bugger that coffee-thing. Ohhhhh well.
Anyway. That's about that, for now. Exactly.
I still have a mark on the finger from that particularly deep exact-o knife meets finger incident. Heh.
