VLOG

Popped Collars=Douchebag? Hmm, I investigate this age old question with my first vlog attempt at something slightly comedic but mostly serious. Vote now folks!


Other than that, I'm getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow so that I can start invisalign in Ithaca (so much work...). Also, I need a job to support my ukulele hobby. My new KoAloha came in and it costed me about 270 (retails for well over 500 though). It's all Koa body and fretboard with a mahogany neck. Pineapple Soprano shaped with clear Worth strings. <3!


Oh, and I changed the strings on my Lanikai concert to Aquila Nylguts so they sound and look a little different.

Sam Adams is awesome. Nuff said.

I will be returning to the promised land on the 23rd and I cannot wait. Be Xcited folks... Hopefully partying won't affect recovering from oral surgery. I really do hope that's true.

You are such a PYT!

I am escaping Kentucky for a week and therefore will be incredibly happy during this time period. However, I'm actually doing alright in Lexington. The gym is really convenient, the pool (which I will check out tomorrow) seems really ballin and the townhouse is spacious and quiet (unlike Morehead's apartments).

Now, I picked up my uke-ing a lot as of late and I realize I love the little thing. I love it so much I'm getting another one. A better (read: more expensive) one. I'm looking at some vintage Kamakas and they'll run me around 300 for a solid gold label uke.

In other instrumental news, I just bought a guitar off of ebay for my dad (ok, kind of for me too ;p). It's this used Takamine G340 in great condition with a ton of extras for a really good deal so I'm excited to fool around with that for a while until I part with it when I get back on campus (I'll leave it at home for my dad to mess around with it I guess). Ukulele is still #1 in my heart no doubt.

So, I've recently been bitten by the Julia Nunes bug which is quite delightful. Although I'm not as zealous about her talents as I was about Zooey Deschanel's she is still an awesome musician and personality on youtube. She loves the beatles, the ukulele, and... I dunno, other good stuff. How could I resist not enjoying her music?

Lastly, I realize that Sake is incredibly delicious. It may be the Asian genes talking but it is not my absolute favorite alcoholic beverage. I need to slowly coerce my parents to buy me and let me keep a stock of it at school. Slowly, but surely, I will succeed. 2 and a half weeks to go!
