Absent For A Bit ....

I am away for a little while working on a few or more episodes for The Adventures of My Space Alien Alter Ego story ... will return (to Earth) soon!

Notice: Blogger has screwed up and lost a bunch of photos out of my blog! They are replaced with a gray silhouette of a human head. I will eventually get them replaced with the correct photo, it may take a while to find and fix everything. So some of my stories don't make much sense without their photos, sorry for the inconvenience.

Head Bored Sound Board

My circular tubular metal ornate pipe "headboard" from Sears makes an interesting percussion instrument, but only cause I am alone momentarily.

I am sure The Wifey would not approve if she would have to actually be in the room at the same time. The dog also makes an interesting percussion instrument as well. He really enjoys those sessions. Well, what do you know, my clip-on metal lamp is about an octave higher than the headboard.

I wrote the first part of this piece without visually eXamining the headboard (it is dark in here eXcept the glow of my iPad), so it was a few accidental moments later that I got a slightly different tone and looked to see that there were - of course - a few different sections to the headboard. So when I actually get enough motivation to fully investigate, I will map out the sections of my new percussion instrument. Without looking, I think I know that it is symmetrical about a central vertical axis.

A friend remarked that I needed a hobby OR a drumset

My Response: Trust me, I already have abazillion hobbies and interests. I really need a Yamaha grand piano.

On an educational note: Yea! I learned how to install a GFCI wall plug today! (It is slightly more complicated than a normal old fashioned wall plug)

The wife responded to the original percussion topic by way of Facebooq, even though she is only approximately twenty three feet away from me.

The Wifey: You had better not be beating on my bed!! do you hear me!! lol

My Response: I was already beating on the headboard, did you hear me? NO! (My response to her was also non-verbal by way of Facebooq)


Hmmm ... These are the current ads on my Facebooq page:

-) Fun Adult Footed Pajamas
-) Blank Labels for Laserjet printers
-) Fun Chemist T-Shirts!
-) Win A Trip! (to Taos, NM)

I'm eXamining the list very carefooooly, and I'm surprised that Facebooq knows me so well, able to read ALL the thoughts of my pseudo-schizophrenic mindset. You think about blank labels at least 5 hours a day like I do, too, right? Right?
