Buh
Spending way too much time on the Mando armor costume, mostly looking for stuff online. And I keep finding stuff after it’s been sold or a production run filled up and closed.
Gonna go back to learning how to play the ukulele this weekend.
ADOS
Attention Deficit OOOH SHINY!
That’s what I suffer from.
In the past couple of months I’ve gone from weight loss to ukulele to Kindle to Halo Reach to Mandalorian armor to the new TV season, among other things.
And I’m actually juggling most of those right now.
Add to that list: back to table top sports games. Because I saw one box score of a hockey game tonight, I pulled out Inside the Crease, which I haven’t touched since long before the ’08-’09 season ended.
I found a resource online that gives me the line combinations of at least 2 of the 3 seasons that I own. Maybe now I can continue (start, actually) playing the ’67-’68 NHL season.
In addition to that game, I dug out Pizza Box Baseball and Pizza Box Football, two other games that are simple enough to play either solitaire or with an opponent.
GAME ON!
Progress
I think… I’m beginning to understand how to read music again, or at least ukulele tabs. Kinda sort of.
Songs I found online that I tried to play (*=some success)
- Indiana Jones*
- Star Wars*
- Ode to Joy*
- Carmina Burana* (no, really)
- Back in Black
- Sweet Child O’ Mine
- Daydream Believer
- James Bond Theme
- Journey of the Sorceror (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy)
While I didn’t finish any song that I tried, I could understand enough of what I was looking at to make out the main melody of the ones I could play.
Uke Promise
If I can teach myself to play well in the next 6 months, I’ll get a myself better ukulele.
Though I may get myself a pitch pipe or electronic tuner long before then.
