Piano

You may have noticed my pictures lately and seen a picture of my latest purchase (reproduced below for your viewing convenience):

This was sold for an INCREDIBLE discount on craigslist.  As I was playing it with some of the music I have, I realized I’m not terrible.  It takes me a second to pick up songs, but I can usually force my way through them with only moderate pain and suffering.

The weather here has been atrocious.  We’ve had snow, a lot of hail and more than our fair share of rain.  The road we drive to work on (a dirt detour around a bridge they blew up) has become one giant pothole.  On of my roommates will no longer drive his car to work because the giant ruts the tires make on the road cause the bottom of this car to scrape the dirt for much of the drive out there.  I would like to meet the person from Civil Engineering who drives that every day and thinks, “Yeah, this should be good.”

That’s really the only big things that happened this week.  I’m going to start posting videos online showing where we work and where we live.  Keep your eyes peeled.

They have made a laundry folding robot.  I want one.  As two tech journalists so eloquently put it, “If in between filing your nails, getting your hair did and lunching you just don’t have the time, this robot will do you laundry.  Why don’t I have one of these?  The laundry is killing me.  You are going to find me one day in my house, an otherwise perfectly competent person able to handle most of my life, buried … dead … under a pile of laundry.”
