How Do I Get To Carnegie Hall?

[billroper]

I realized while playing guitar this weekend at Confusion that I am way out of practice and that my callouses are showing it. It's not too hard to figure out why. Most of the last two months at work, I've been frantically porting code to Java, which has not required any long compiles. :)

This morning, I concluded that the Oracle nagware on my work system was going to keep consuming 50% or more of my CPU until I finally decided to install the fourteen cued up Microsoft updates and reboot the machine. So that's going on now and I've played three or four songs so far.

Meanwhile, the updates continue...

Last night's Wild Mercy rehearsal reminded me that my callouses are also out of shape, which I should work on in what precious little time is left between now and Cap. Eek.

Also, I've grown fingernails. Not scary long, but long enough that they're a factor when playing. Hmmm...

My experience suggests that regular practice is key. Maybe install updates more often?

Yeah, I've been a slacker too. But, given that I have several good excuses to get back into form (starting with Boskone), it's probably a good time to find some motivation of my own!

Practice?

Add me to the group that hasn't been practicing at all.

I have decided to eliminate the acrylic nails from my life for a while and the fingertips are TENDER!
