So sleepy... stupid dark at 5:00...
We have these mini pizzas here at work and they are very possibly some of the tastiest mini pizzas I've ever had. I was a little discouraged the first few times I attempted to cook them. I would throw them in the toaster oven and go back to my desk to let them cook for 10 minutes -- then 20 minutes later I would be like
"SHIT! Shitshitshitshitshit..." and my tasty pizzas would be shriveled black hockey pucks. I experienced this epic pizza failure three days in a row at first and was close to resolving myself to the apparent fact that BRENNA IS NOT DESTINED FOR TASTY PIZZA IN MINIATURE FORM, but then realized I actually
was destined to eat pizza if I would just stop being lazy and set a 10 minute alarm on my phone.
Lazy < Pizza.
*OM NOM NOM NOM*
As gleeful as I was to watch Obama get voted into office on Tuesday, I was also dismayed to see that the election coverage delayed a new episode of
House. D: I must have flustered Gregorz! I must have more House-Cuddy kissage! *Rolls around in a pit of her own fangirly angst*
I saved a kitty last night~ Well, sort of. We got home from Brock's and this adorably friendly cat followed us to our building and up the stairs to the door. If Mason hadn't insisted on denying the kitty entrance, I most likely would have had a new furry house guest that evening. :c Instead I coaxed him away from the door with cuddles and went in search for poor kitty's home. Hopefully the little old lady who welcomed him back inside at the original house we saw him sitting on the stoop of is
actually a kind old lady and not some creepy terrible woman looking for kitty meat pies. :x
I've decided I want to start taking piano lessons~ I love the piano and I think it would be so relaxing to just sit down and play (ENVY DAN, ENVY!) -- I regret not enrolling in some as a kid but I figure it's never too late to learn. (Besides, everyone always tells me I have piano fingers~) Dan says Innovations Music in St. Albert does lessons which are really good, but their next classes to enroll in don't start until next September... And I'm a little paranoid about having lessons at some Joe Shmoe's house who I don't know. Where to go?
My friend Claudia teaches piano at her parent's house. She's awesome. I can give you her number if you want.
Also, I have decided to learn how to play the guitar. Maybe once we can both play more than nothing, we could fake jam. ;)
:D YAY JAM SESSIONS!
So like... Claudia teaches piano to complete noobs like me...? How much does she charge? Where's her parent's house? (St. Albert?) *Hopeful puppy eyes*
Perhaps this is TOO OBVIOUS, but... Dan teaches piano?
To my knowledge, Dan doesn't teach piano, he just plays it. Dan would have been an option but:
1) He was the one I originally mentioned wanted to learn to, and he didn't offer to teach, so I wouldn't ask him.
2) He's told me before that the way he plays isn't the way people should learn. Dan plays very much by ear and memory; whereas most other people are taught by reading music. He says his way is very hodgepodgey.
I use to take piano lessions in someones home. It is not creepy at all.
I once burnt popcorn in the microwave so badly at work that is smoked out the back of the microwave. I was scared the sprinklers would go off. We had to open the all the doors to our very large office. I recomend that you don't leave food unattended at work. It can lead to an emberassing experience at work.
I don't know... I don't like the feeling of going to some strange person's house and not knowing if by "teach piano" they really mean "rape you and chop you into little bits in my basement." :x
