Another gorgeous morning on the deck, a little writing done, iced coffee at hand, feeling like I'm on vacation.
Making great progress on Minor Swing, our first Django song. Wonderful series of sixth chords! I never would have figured that out myself. And I have some different shapes, voicings, to give the run my own feel. I'll record this here eventually. Very exciting to make progress so soon. Of course, I've done a lot of foundation work learning all the chord families. Makes me a quick learner now. The only ukulele in the class!
Have this silly idea to put political protest lyrics to these wonderful Django tunes, play them in Pioneer Square during lunch hour. Probably an idea that will end up in the novel ha ha.
Two great WC games today, starting at 1. If I do yard chores, should do them now before it gets over 90. But I may not. Not very energetic, and satisfied with the day's work after a good writing session. The dialectic part of the novel will be tricky but if it works, it will blow your mind! I am even thinking of putting some time travel into the mix ... get CJ on the fields of the Little Big Horn, escorted by Sitting Bull, of course. This may turn into a pretty surrealistic piece.
At least it is not a traditional narration that would bore me ha ha.
I've written too damn much for my own good. About most forms of writing, I feel, Been there, done that.
Birds are feeding up a storm this morning. Nice to watch.
Last night, a kind of celebration of a new "stability," relatively speaking, and of our tax return, we had an incredible meal at what may be the best Italian restaurant in town ... and H had a groupon, so we got $30 off the tab ... just first rate, everything, including the best spamonie I ever had in my life to cap the evening. My cioppino was a tad too spicy but this the only small qualification. We don't go there often because it is so spendy but it sure is first rate.
I feel like I'm on vacation!
Can the US beat China today? Will be tough, I think, and losing will not surprise me. I am not impressed and two of their best players have to sit from double yellow cards. And it gets worse ... if they win, they play the winner of France-Germany. A very hard haul for the US team. On the other side, Canada has an easier journey, and I'm rooting for the home team as well.
The Mariners. Yet again. Disappointment.
Need to get H up so she can get ready for a lunch date.
I think banking and ukulele practice sounds more inviting this morning than yard work ha ha. It's dry, not growing, it can wait.
