I just ate an avocado like an animal at my desk. I pierced the skin with my teeth, peeled it off and just ate it down to the pit, making a mess while I did it and I don't care. It tastes better that way.
It's this guys birthday at work and everyone brought stuff in so there's a whole spread in the conference room. Not only did I not bring anything, I didn't even wish him a happy birthday. I do however have a plate of food from the conference room in front of me which I am now eating. Free lunch.
I was inspired by Katy Perry while at the Japanese gardens in San Fran park. I wasn't going to kiss a boy but went with a rhyming equivalent.
Yesterday or something, I dusted off the old banjo and put new strings on it. Tried to play Foggy Mountain Breakdown and failed miserably. Who knew it was that hard? So I put the banjo on craigslist and it sold in less than two hours. Now I am banjoless.

(Unless you sold your banjo for enough to buy a cherry '73 4001. In that case Good Onya!)
Ouch. I've been there before and it's just the worst. Sorry to hear of your misfortunes Mr. Hondo4Life.
Speaking of banjos, I am completely and utterly flummoxed when I encounter an instrument whose strings don't go from low to high.

Oh, it's not that bad. It wasn't a very fancy banjo, nor is my electric bill past due. But, I did miss work today because of my back injury, so I figured I should still find a way to net a profit.
This was the biggest problem for me. In the end, that high G string always threw my ear off and caused me to stumble. I also simply cannot get used to using finger picks.
I turned on my home central AC for the first time today. The outdoor unit didn't respond. I went to the basement and turned the circuit breaker off, then back on, and it worked. Yay!!
I play banjo almost every day.Yesterday or something, I dusted off the old banjo and put new strings on it. Tried to play Foggy Mountain Breakdown and failed miserably. Who knew it was that hard? So I put the banjo on craigslist and it sold in less than two hours. Now I am banjoless.
