Newly-Discovered Hours Before 11:00am

I think my guitar playing skills are picking up a bit! This probably has a lot to do with the fact that I sit at home late at night and play music...

Anyhow, earlier on my blog I was giving out rave reviews of Fleet Foxes' new Cd "Helplessness Blues" and now, I've begun playing music off of it! Obviously, I cannot do justice to the wonderful sounds of their harmonies but I've enjoyed my tries at emulation. Hopefully my neighbors downstairs continue lending me the patience they always seem to extend with my attempts at music-making. They have been extraordinarily patient with me over the last few months. I tell you, it can be loud business getting over a break-up. I've heard no complaints from them, although I did see a decided look of concern a few months back when I brought my guitar amp past them and into the apartment. I try to keep things relatively quiet to appease us all, though. There is, after all, only so much of my own music that I can stand!

Comic-ing continues! Today, I drew the figures out before I knew what they were going to say (which I hardly ever do) and then, I just sat there for about a half hour yelling at them, "What are you guys talking about!" It was aggravating!


Say What??

It's odd to be posting this at noon on a Thursday. Yes, I'm not employed and do enjoy staying up late. Thus, it has been my habit throughout my life to take every opportunity to maximize my sleep time without cutting into my 'awake-in-the-middle-of-the-night' time. However, my sister and I got up for the second time this week to go for a run before she headed off to work. I'm no runner (or at least, not yet) but it is an exhilarating way to start the day. Plus, I've discovered breakfast, so that's good. Still, it's extraordinarily odd for me to have already finished a piece of art by noon!

Ugh...my computer is gross. Does anyone know a good way to clean a mac without frying it?
