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!
