And now, the whine of a woodwind player trying to learn a string instrument.

*ahem*

It's been three days! Why aren't my calluses formed yet?!? Whyyyyyyyyy?

Thankyew.

Dental appointment at 3, weight training at 5:30, and then as much time as possible washing the fearsweat/exercisesweat stink off before seeing [livejournal.com profile] modpixie tonight. I pray for both our sakes that Zeitgeist is air conditioned.

Also, I love the pedestrian bridges over the Fens because each time I look down I see something new. At lunchtime it was a school of little brown fish, and oh what a relief to see fish that aren't huge badass carp. This morning, though, was a special treat--a slim little mammal swimming in the shallows and then crawling up on shore. I think it was a rat, but one of the nice things about observing from so far away is that if I want to think it was a little otter, I can.

Which stringed instrument? Callouses take a bit but take even longer to get rid of. The one thing I like about not playing the violin anymore is that I can grow my nails out now :)

A night of risque films! Well, 2/3 risque films, 1/3 looooong boring interview/profile of Hugh Hefner from the mid-sixties that was not even good enough to MST3K (except for one scene where Hef was greeted at the airport by a band wearing white wigs and white suits, because nothing gets you into the Mansion as fast as looking like an albino and playing the tambourine.)

Be careful what you wish for.....those calluses NEVER go away. On the plus side, neither does the nice muscle tone you build up in weird places in your hands.
