Random thoughts of an average human

This is a yellow bat: That little sucker looks exactly the way I did when someone mentioned chocolate covered cashews. "What in the world?? WAIT, HOLD UP, THIS IS A HOLIDAY?!? You're kidding, right?? I'm gonna bite you if you're not kidding!" Or the way I would look if someone offered me a chocolate covered cashew, in which case I would bite. Still, I think his species is weird: First off, they have a holiday. That's weird. Second off, they share this holiday with chocolate covered cashews. Third off, they would probably look very bright during the night and any animal that likes bats, yellow things, and food (and gee, birds check off 2/3 of those boxes but the second is the most important) would be hard pressed to eat it. Especially because of its facial expression.. but I guess that's better for them. KEEP MAKING THAT WEIRD FACE!

Today's an odd holiday... It's both Yellow Bat day (yay! coronavirus!), and I never knew there was such a thing as yellow bats (how do they even fly at night? It's nighttime, anything yellow will be screaming "Eat me! I'm right here! You can eat me easily!!") and it's also National Chocolate Covered Cashews Day. I love chocolate and hate cashews. However, I'm a sucker for alliteration and anything covered in chocolate automatically becomes twice as good... Maybe I should try one. I don't know. It's 8:13 where I live. Anyway, congrats and go feed your yellow bat chocolate covered cashews! I'm sure yellow bats love chocolate covered cashews. (I cannot believe I just typed that sentence)

Today is National Walk Around Things Day, which I take seriously because I am a procrastinator. The only reason I'm organized is because if I'm not, I will just lay in bed all day. Anyway, what with the Coronavirus, everyone actually is walking around things and trying not to touch them. Hope you enjoy and walk around everything today. 

WHY MY DOG HAS MORE MUSICAL TALENT THAN ME My dog has more musical talent than me, and I play three instruments. I love to listen to music, which you would know if you read my about page. I also love music theory, cause I'm one of the weirdest music nerds in history. But my dog has better ears than me, which is a fact, and she can also tell whenever I play a wrong note. It's kind of freaky.  I'm just sitting there at my piano, cursing Bach for making things so complicated while also studying the notes and gasping at how smart he is, and all of a sudden I play an F sharp when I'm supposed to play a G. (For those of you who don't know music, picture it as a letter wrong in a word. I want to spell "Major", but instead I spell "Mdjor". See what I mean? Playing the piano is a lot like typing, in the sense that your fingers are moving, and that things turn out wrong if you miss one thing. [That was a long explanation to put inside parentheses.] ...

SONGS OF QUARANTINE  If the world was ending by J.P. Sax & Julia michaels. Nothing more to be said. It's a beautiful song that makes me laugh at our current predicament.
