Every time I get home from work Sundays I am BLOWN AWAY by the number of Who uploads. PAGES AND PAGES.

But I have like an hour to go on my download and I'm borrreed. SO:

COMPUTER SPYING MEME

1. Comment with a request to see absolutely anything on my computer. My desktop, my documents, my bookmarks, my latest works in progress... absolutely whatever you are curious about. Request it.

2. I will respond with a screenshot of the very thing you request.

Also, we can do the taking-photos-of-things-in-my-house, if you want, but I warn you that photographs of my bedroom may, all medusa-like, strike you into stone.

They are purty! Much more appealing than my poor clarinet.

Are strings hard to learn? I'm a woodwind girl, myself, but I;ve wanted to learn some string instrument of some sort or another.

I wuv 'em.

They are kinda hard (guitar, either classical or pop, is somewhat an exception) - the thing about string instruments that's different to any other is that there's absolutely no pitch guidance - wind &c you just have to tune your instrument and then you're in tune - for the violin, you have to tune four strings and then you still have to have every finger in exactly the right place. Plus, tone. Which makes them really daunting to learn (once you get to a certain point pitch becomes less and less of a worry, because you start to learn in your body where things go, but tone is always an issue) - the bow can be hard to manage - they can make lots of horrible noises when you're just starting. I think it's really rewarding but it does kind of take awhile to get where you can count on making a nice sound most times you move the bow. But they are lovely, IMO, once you've got a bit of skill.
