If there were a course that would teach me to play every Jim Croce song on the guitar (pronounced here "GEE-tar") and every Vince Guaraldi tune on the piano, I would take it. The problem is, they all make you start with scales and shit. Fucking bullshit fundamentals. Oh, I think I'd also want to play every Stevie Wonder song on the harmonica, but I wouldn't want to pay extra for that. |

Speaking of Jim Croce, my evidence professor was in love with his son A.J. Croce and spent much of class encouraging us to also love him.

They don't really start you out with scales on the guitar, although you may start out with something like Michael Row the Boat Ashore or Kum Ba Yah. All you need are 3 chords, a red guitar and the Truth. They don't really teach you the Truth, either.

Now I have a mental image of a giant lizard strumming a guitar and singing "Michael Row Your Boat Ashore" soulfully. |

I was 7 at the time. I was hardly a giant. But I was pretty big compared to the ones the cats barf up on my doormat.

My gym, you know--the one with the tanning bed, sent me the usual monthly magazine. The one I never read except for this month's with a catchy headline about how the sun is actually good for you and you shouldn't really stay out of it.

Kevin Spacey as Verbal Kint
Morgan Freeman as Red Redding (Shawshank Redemption)
Woody Harrelson as Mickey Knox (Natural Born Killers) and as Roy Munson (Kingpin)

How it feels to get shot.
In what will likely be hailed as a public service to residents of Cook County,* the Sun-Times gives us an article on what to expect to feel when you've been shot.
How it feels to get shot.
Warning: About a 3/10 on the gross-out scale. No pics.
*Who represent 1,600 of the roughly 55,000 Americans who experience non-lethal firearm injuries every year. |
