SNL: Rainn Wilson's Monologue

I am so bummed I missed this! I meant to watch it. It's been a while since I've watched SNL too.

Well enjoy. The last part is the best.

the guitar.

I can't remember a time when I didn't wish I knew how to play the guitar.


My dad plays. Some of my favorite memories growing up are sitting on my parents bed with my dad while he played his guitar. I would sit across from him reading the music book upside down so I could turn the pages at the right time while he strummed away. My dad's guitar was off limits, we were not allowed to touch it as kids. About four years ago I finally asked my dad if I could borrow his guitar to try and learn. He had actually purchased a second guitar and let me pratice on that one. (So I still haven't touched "the" guitar if you think about it...just kidding!)


I had the hardest time stretchy my stubby sausage fingers across the fret board to hit some of the most basic chords. I also had a hard time making and keeping calluses. Those were the main two reason why I stopped trying. I gave up. And though I still wish I knew how to play the guitar, my wimpy fingers are okay with playing the smooth ivory keys of a piano.



What brought on this memory, you ask?
A Mayer blog.

Calluses
February 23, 2007
I remember when I first started playing guitar, all the kids who played would compare calluses... You weren't much if you didn't have them, and the thicker the strings you used, the cooler you were. I never really stuck my head in the game all that much, though I was using pretty thick strings. I've taken it down a bit in my post-adolescent play-every-night situation... Lately I've been tearing my fingers up again because the crowds keep pushing me to play as hard as I possibly can. (Peer pressure...) I've been digging Derek Trucks a lot lately and try to forget my guitar has frets, but once I get off stage - I remember again. With every painful keystroke I make...

the grammys

I've tried....10 times, no joke...to post the performance by John Legend, Corinne Bailey Rae and John Mayer.

It was amazing. So here is a link. It's the best I can do.

The Grammys over all...eh. alright. It's all about performances and doesn't even announce that many winners anymore. What's the point of an award show if you don't show the winners! Hel-looo!

Laugh of the Day -- Joss Whedon on The Office

Woohooo!! Tonight's episode!

Laugh of the Day -- The Office

Angela. Good times.

the valentines day post.

So I was getting on google to look for something all valentine-ish to be the picture of my post...but when I got on google, this was I saw:

works for me.


that strawberry looks yummy right?!?!

This Valentines...
may the loved-know it, the bitter-get over it, and the in between-find what makes them happy!

I just made that up. [pat.pat. my own back.]

Dwight

Dwight will one day soon be a new addition to my desk.

I know it will become the new talk of my office.

I'm not one to create jealously, buuuut, c'mon! It's Dwight. And his head bobbles.

Who knew happiness could be in a form of a bobble head.

And only $18?







Well worth it.

'Bout time...but ironic.

I find it totally ironic that Mayer didn't get the cover of Rolling Stones that one time because of his current girlfriend...

(Thanks Kates, she informed me, I won't take credit)

Frienemy

Friend + Enemy=Frienemy.

This morning on my way to work I was listening to the morning show Mark and Mercedes and they were talking about friends and the difference between guys being friends with guys and girls being friends with girls. Guy friends, for the most part, don't seem to have the same issues that girl friends do. There is just far less drama. Where as girls, for the most part, have so many issues! And it's sooooo true.

Mercedes was describing friends that you like being friends with, have a good time with, but you still don't completely trust, and a lot of the times they are in competition with you about almost anything just to be better than you. She called those friends frienemies. And it's so true. I have friends like that. I grew up with a frienemy. I hated it. It is what has made me walk away from friendships and not deal with the drama then put up with it or learn to deal with it. It's just not worth it.

That makes me sound like I can't commit huh? I'm not like that at all, I am all about forgiveness and a million chances. I can tell after dealing with that one friend for over 10 years when I'm dealing with a frienemy now. And that I have no problem not trying to work past or deal with. I hope my tolerance and patients level is as high as I think it is, but drama espeically in the frienemy area I don't even deal with. The less stress in my life as possible, the better. But I don't hide under a rock either, ya know? :)

It was just an odd closure experience I had this morning while listening to the radio on my way into work. I finally had a name to that one "friend" I've had for so long.

She's a frienemy.
Unfortunately.

Scrubs

If I was going to show love to 'The Office' I had to show my love the for the show that I watched well before 'The Office'....

Scrubs!!

This show is so well written. It has great physical comedy. I love the format of the show: it has humor, it pokes fun at things with such great wit, but at the end of the episode, there is still a point about life that you really did learn something between all the joking and laughing and some times hurt and heart ache. And if that isn't life....I'm not sure what you are livin'.

I'd like to think that I roll that way. Laughing, joking, having fun for most of the time, but that I still have the ability to be human and learn from the mistakes and things that life throws out at you.

If you don't really know much about the show or watch it, please, this is for your own good. Watch it. Two words if anything as to why you should start watching it....

Zach. Braff.

Funny. The nerd look you grow to love. He gets better looking anytime I see an interview or read something or when he talks about his dog! He was on Martha Stewart's show for goodness graces! He made a food holder thingy for his dog. What's not to love.

I will follow this post up with a few clips from Scrubs: The Musical, episode.

It's the goods.

Nelly Furtado-Say It Right.

I am loving this song right now. It has a sick beat! It will get stuck in your head.

If you know me, you know that I am not a super big fan of girl singers. I like some, but not many. Nelly Furtado was not on that list. But I just bought her new album and am actually enjoying it.



Crazy. I know. Speaking of enjoy...watch on!

John Krasinski on Ellen - 10/18

As promised.
