guitar and little things

escritoireazulToday I took ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
data_warrior's advice and shorted my guitar strap (again, I actually shortened it when I first brought it home, too). It worked like a charm and though I feel I'm holding the guitar too high, I was able to play standing up for my entire practice session, without trying to take the weight of it on my right hand, so that was nice.
Part of my problem is I still have to look to see where my fingers are to make sure I hit the correct frets. Not all the time, mind, just part of the time (a majority of the time, unfortunately). I did learn another walking bass rhythm, and can add in one fill smoothly no matter what rhythm I'm playing. Also the tone quality is increasing and is more consistent than it has been.
I can never forget my belt again, I almost lost my trousers a dozen times at work, and then I still had to go to the gym (which, I admit, wasn't as bad because I changed into workout clothes, but then I had to put the too-big pair back on) and grocery shopping.
(Oh, I'm trying something new, veggie crisps instead of tortilla chips for this dip I have, and it turned out really, really good. I'm not a big fan of chips [because I hate salt], but these are a nice change when I do have a craving.)
I have a lot of stories to read and rec, but I have to get to bed soon. Like right now soon. I hope to be productive again tomorrow.
Edited to Add: I just looked at myremixredux assignment and oh, I am filled with the excitement. I love the remix anyway, but this year's assignment--wow. Wow, wow, wow. I can't wait, I already have too many ideas (though, okay, I remember feeling like this last year, too), and so many things I could do. Awesome!
Really, bed now. J. called earlier, on his way to work, and we talked for a bit, but now I'm sleepy. I talked tothestalkycop for a few minutes today, too, which was nice. I hope she's feeling better.
I started shopping for V-Day today. It's not going so well. I think I'm making the cards I plan to send, and as for gifts, no idea.
Oh. Good. God. There's another Mission Impossible movie. My head hurts.
