Marshmellow peep fight, ukelele

So, I can't remember who I watched 'Marshmellow peep fight' with, agesandagesago, but I suspect that it was not any of you, dear readers. Anyway, if you've seen it, you might understand why this tickles me:


Also, in response to Liz's injunctions to ukelele pride: I am learning the ukelele. I really suck at it. Yesterday I tried to find a song with chords in it that I could play, and I managed! I turns out I can totally play all the chords in Both Hands, and I know the song pretty well. So I thought maybe I would try to play along. Disaster! Turns out I am not very good at just going strumstrumstrumstrumregularrhythmstrumstrumregularrhythm. Guess I will have to practice for more than a day, huh?

I'm pretty excited about it!




PS. ARGH! I AM GIVING A LECTURE TODAY OHHHNOOOOO! (luckily I do not need to play ukele during the lecture, though. Or accordion. But still!)

:) I am not sure that it is a reflection of his skill so much as the fact it is interesting luggage.

He spent quite a while looking up video tutorials on Youtube, I believe he said there were some really good ones. I would ask him but he is in Melbourne this week. I can ask him when he is back if you like.

Thank you! I am getting help from chordie.com and Liz, but I'm sure every bit helps.
