Sorry, sorry, sorry. No post for you. Yesterday wasn't that interesting, and I wasn't in the mood to embellish. Today wasn't that interesting. I wrote a lot (2.1). Writing felt better than it has since I got sick. It seems my mind is finally clearing even if my sinuses are not. Stupid germs.
WARNING: If you have a weak heart, back problems, or are pregnant, you may not want to read the following passage as it is packed full of heart-stopping, spine-chilling, labor-inducing action. . . That's right. I'm going to blog about cutting my fingernails.
So, today I cut my fingernails. It went pretty well. I didn't leave any jagged edges or cut down far enough to bleed or make any of the other common nailclipping mistakes. . . I'm not really going to write any more about nailclipping. The reason I'm bringing it up is that I play the guitar. Right now, I probably enjoy playing fingerstyle guitar better than any other style. However, I haven't fully commited myself as a fingerstylist and tend to clip my fingernails from time to time. Then, when I go to play guitar, I'm like, "Damn. Why'd I clip my nails. Now I can't properly pluck the strings." That happened today. But I don't like having long fingernails. At a certain point, I feel like I'm going to hurt myself or others with them. I don't know if there's a point to this. I just kind of figured that people who felt like they weren't getting their money's worth because there wasn't a post yesterday need to know the super-interesting things that are keeping me occupied these days. You didn't miss much.
I'm grateful for typing (20).
w00t! First post!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, fingernail trimming. Is this what we've come to? You really need to get a job.
Maybe if you get really good at clipping finger nails, you could get a job at a salon. Might be lucrative. Ooooo...and you could play guitar for the people in the salon while you're in between clients. I think this may be promising.
ReplyDeleteIs it difficult to clip your nails while your pacing?
z-man: I know. I know. I KNOW. I really DO need to get a job. Really. I know.
ReplyDeletepiwok: I think you've just invented my dream job: guitar-playing fingernail cutter. I should start up my own business dedicated to this new craft. And no, it isn't difficult to clip fingernails while pacing; I have a special pair of clippers that holds onto all the clippings. But pacing and clipping toenails? I may need a bit more yoga before I'm able to pull that one off.
