...and some ibuprofen. 

Out of boredom with my piano lessons (which are mostly scales at this point), I (legally) downloaded the sheet music for an Easy Piano arrangement of Little Red Corvette, and spent the last hour teaching myself to play it. 

It's a good thing that His Purple Majesty has passed beyond the veil, because if he had seen how rudimentary this arrangement is, he would have sued for libel ("Nothing I wrote could ever be that simple!"), and if he heard my rendition of it, he'd have turned inside out and disappeared in a column of violet and golden flame. I spent an hour pounding my way through it, grateful that nobody can hear me, trying to stretch-jump from a high E to a regular E with one hand. My whole right arm hurts, which means my form is terrible and I'm doing it wrong. 

But, I can play the opening eight measures now. 

I'll keep you posted.

Between this and the pickle updates... I don’t know which is my favorite!
Thank you. You keep me going. When I can actually play something listenable, I'll post a video.
Someday your Prince will come ...
...and pontificate about the Jehovah's Witness testimony. And I'll yell, "I REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE FUNKY!"
The “easy piano” sheet music for that is hilarious. I should have gone with that one first.
