  • uh oh.

    It may be about that time, y’all…. I’ve been reinventing myself, on the basis of a milestone year, and reviewing some things on this site, well…  Time for an overhaul.  Let’s see if I can manage it reasonably quickly, aka less than a year.   But yeah, the bio needs a rewrite like crazy. 

  • Blogging regularly is not my forte.

    Yup. Almost 18 months since y’all’ve heard from me – I’ll save the apologies, since I’m not sorry for being as busy as I have been. Keeping it short and sweet, I’ve been learning and growing and pushing boundaries.   Guitar-wise: I’ve explored both bass and standard, enjoy both of them, but my brain isn’t set…

  • Year In Review

    I know, I know… there’s still 2 more weeks left in the year, but today’s the day I’m taking stock of things. Goals from January 2016: Front Splits  – not quite there, but progress is still being made. I think I’ve figured out how to get the last 3″, so should be full touch down…

  • Insert Witty Title Here.

    It’s been a little bit, since I’ve been busy, but not with anything ridiculously exciting, so minimal updating. Getting ready to go into the standard holiday depression-y bit, with the visit to the family this coming weekend, so that’ll be fun on one level, but I’ll be missing the hell out of my Mom again.…

  • This made my morning…

    I’m a wee bit of a cat lady, and this came across one of my feeds this morning.  Definitely amusing enough to share.

  • Processing…

    A couple of slightly weird things this week… First off, time to recommit to keeping the skin tough for poleness – it’s going to suck, but I have to do it, even if I don’t have a class scheduled. Secondly, gossip re: me at the studio, since I’ve gone to doing what I need to…

  • Trying to keep it real

    Ergh. Up in arms a bit this morning over an eBay purchase and return process that’s been going on since August. Terrible customer service all the way around, with not only the seller, but eBay and PayPal too. That’s okay, though.  I’ve filed a chargeback with my bank, and submitted the tons of documentation that…

  • Here we go again…

      Another busy week.  But now… we start adding a bass line. Bass lessons started for me today, and the instructor I’ve found seems to be fantastic. He translated a lot of the basics into piano terms, so I’m feeling quite a bit more aware/knowledgeable about them. Also, he gave some technique bits and pieces…

  • A late addition to the year…

    I finally did it. Bit the bullet and signed up for bass guitar lessons. Time for me to actually start playing my guitars, rather than having them sitting and staring at me. I dropped into Open Chord Saturday, with the intention of just researching, but walked out with a lesson time of 5:30 on Saturday…

  • Yeah.

    Having a moment of P!nk. Because, why not? If I’m writing, I might as well share some favorites too. So what’s happening? I don’t even know where to start with the awesome. There’re the achievements over on the Dainty Bitch Skin blog – namely, superman and side saddle superman/poleorama being conquered today, the hamstring deciding…
