yay, guitars!
I just thought I'd announce to the world that I bought a guitar the other day. It's a lovely, cheap acoustic, and for the moment I'm using it to learn David Bowie and Beatles tunes exclusively. I'll branch out once I've mastered Rock n' Roll Suicide, WHILE singing. Hmmm ... well, it's a good thing no one else is here right now. The chords are easy but the singing is rough. So then, I guess I'm accepting suggestions for Beatles or Bowie tunes to learn, and I promise never to sing them to the lucky suggester unless you piss me off or something.
In any case, it's nice to be playing an instrument again, even if my fingertips are crying out in agony, I already lost my first pick, and I managed to use Hey Jude to distract myself from work for half the day. Actually, that last thing is pretty cool. Vive la guitarra!

yay! crooning to your heart's content -- a good way to wrap up the year. :) um, i dunno how it translates to acoustic, but what about "rebel rebel"? http://youtube.com/watch?v=Zt8tYLCB7Yk
actually, don't worry about learning the chords. if you just wore a pair of those red suspender pants, i think it would suffice.
"Blackbird." I guarantee this will always be the first Beatles song anyone will ever ask you to play on guitar. At least anyone cool.
And then "Norwegian Wood." Just so you can go to Norway while you're on one of your fantastic European adventure trips and play that song while snickering about the sexy implications.
