Sorry, nothing stimulating has happened to me recently.  Well, nothing stimulating enough to write about I mean!  Sooooo last night I was playing around with my laptop/digital camera, and I was recording myself to see if I could play better.

What have I been doing with all of my free time?

Noooo not making meth, that’s illegal kiddies!  Memorizing Beethovens Fur Elise, naturally!  It’s only like saying I’m reading the encyclopedia in my free time.  Everyone just turns and walks away slowly, that’s it.

I actually learned this when I was in grade school after I first got a keyboard, annndd not surprisingly it is one of the first ones I started playing again.

Sorry about the video quality, again it was taken with my digital camera. I guess you can’t tell if it is me except for the blurry, hideous monster that shows up near the end of the video that kinda resembles me. Yeah, it was late at night last night and no, my hair doesn’t usually look like I stuck my finger in a light socket. I giggled at the end like a schoolgirl because it is only the FIVE MILLIONTH time I played/recorded it and I didn’t mess up finally. Okay, so it only took three tries. Did I mention it was late?!

I was just going to turn off the camera at the end, but I figured a shot of the empty music stand to boost my ego wouldn’t hurt. Ahhh, that’s better.  Yeah, I know that it is only the first half of the song.  At the end I just skip to the last chord of the music that I remembered.   I’m learning the second half along with The Entertainer.  Boy am I a wild animal or WHAT?!

Feel free to insert pandering words of praise here -

Today I’ve been in a zombie-like state all day, watching nothing but VH1 and staring at a blank page, trying to will the creativity out of me.  Well, it started pouring out, anddd I’ve been working on a new blog template for this blog. (Yeah go figure) Let’s just say that it is going to match my current template on byJillian.com.  So, I’ve decided to step away from your regularly scheduled programming and bring youuuuu –

Pictures!  From when I delivered pizzas!

Feel free to sing words of praise here.

These pictures are from when I delivered pizzas in Normal, Illinois - Basically I just kept my digital camera hidden in the glove compartment in my car while I delivered pizzas, and took it with me when I saw a good photo op.

No, you are not hallucinating. I’m not sure where this is, but yes, those are shoes, and yes, that is a power line. ‘Nuff said.

The sun was setting and hitting these leaves just perfectly, I remember. Also, these leaves weren’t raked together, the tree was just BARE.

This was the biggest house I delivered to. (at least, I think so…) If I remember correctly, the part you are looking at in the picture isn’t even the HOUSE, it’s some sort of fully-furnished cabin or something on the same lot as the house. Their wrought-iron gate and perfectly manicured lawn makes me want to hurl all over this picture…

I remember walking away from a house, and this is in a large, abandoned lot right next door. The only thing left standing is this archway.

You know you live in a college apartment when… The landlords don’t have enough money to make the address more viewable! Now, imagine for a minute you are delivering pizzas: there are no lights on this address, and it is obscured by a few trees. Oh, the joy.

At first, I thought that this tree was covered in small spikes with white flowers, but, actually, it was some of the same flowers just preparing to bloom.

These signs, are EVERYWHERE. I delivered pizzas for only FIVE MONTHS, and I probably saw about 10 different signs outside of different landmarks.

The above sign happens to be right outside of this mansion. I wondered myself, who could possibly have that much money and own something like this? Well, I delivered there, and I can tell you with 100% certainty…

It’s a Frat House.

Anyone surprised?
