Ain't nobody who can sing like me...

Guitar lesson tonight, for the first time in months: Johnny's been insanely busy and distracted and the rest of it. However, tonight we played for a good couple of hours - not quite to finger bleeding stage, thank you Bryan Adams - and he gave me a capo, which is one of those gizmos you use to change the key you're playing in. It's all very exciting. :)

And I'm not as out of practice as I thought I might be, given the last time I played was New Year's, and drunkenly at that.

Johnny was also telling me about his List. There are 502 songs he knows how to play, off the top of his head or with a minimum of prepping. Isn't he a clever clogs?

Oh, and today my shoes exploded. So I have to go shoe shopping. Bleah.

Exploded? Like on your feet? o.O

And boo, shoe shopping. I have to go buy a pair of sneakers to mall walk during lunch.

(Hee, I can't wait to hear you play next time I visit.)

You followed 'shoe shopping' with 'bleah'.

I... I am at a loss.

Capos are the win. :) I briefly tried to learn how to play the guitar, and the capo was the funnest part.

Your shoes... exploded? That sounds uncomfortable.

Seriously, though - wide feet and shoes are a problem. I've got shoes in sizes ranging from 9-11, just because my stupid feet are not normally shaped. (They aren't, like, Quasimodo feet or anything. Just wide. Otherwise, they are quite normal looking.) My trick is hunting for brands that have a wide size as well as a normal one.

The guitar stuff sounds awesome - it's something I completely respect people for doing, because I am crap at music that doesn't involve sticks (I'm a percussionist... or I was, in high school).

I know what you mean about the wide feet though - I've got them and I have to wear orthotics, so my size 6 feet end up in size 9 giant shoes of doom.
