Journal Some Woman's Journal: Ow. Beep. HUALGHLAHGLUAHLUAHLUAG. 28
Ow.
My left wrist feels as though somebody has installed nanobots inside that pinch and stab with sharp objects my various wrist inards whenever I use it to lift, push, pull or twist. It just started suddenly this morning. Gah. I'm using a copy of "Chemical and Engineering Thermodynamics"[1] to elevate my forearm to reduce the pain of typing.
Beep.
When I came home today, I heard a faint incessant beeping noise (219 beats per minute, to be exact). The beeping intensified when I entered my bedroom, where I found that I must have stepped on my metronome this morning.[2] I should clean my abode.
HUALGHLAHGLUAHLUAHLUAG.
I actually have nothing to say here. It's just the best onomotopaeic phrase ever, courtesy of banky.

[1] Just to clarify: this is the most use I've ever gotten out of the book. I kept it only in case I failed the class. I should get rid of it now.
[2] Which I was using to gauge the tempo of various songs so that I can make my own Dance Dance Revolution music.

I'm gonna say French horn. I just don't picture SW playing something mundane like flute.

Wrong.

Correct. And apply that to every other instrument where females comprise more than 20% of the musicians.

Ok, I'll bite. Is it tuba? How about drums?
(mental picture of SW doing either an Opus the penguin or Neale Pert impression)

I'd pay 10 bucks to see SW pull off "The Rhythm Method" or "The Weapon".

I guess that counts out clarinet, too. :-) I've known a surprising number of female tuba players over the years. I can't tell from your Photo Contest picture how long your arms are, so I'm reluctant to say trombone. Yeah, I'm going to go with ces and say that you're a percussionist.

IMHO, Moving Pictures is overrated... IMHO Signals and Vapor Trails are both better. ;o)
Re:You have a metronome? (Score:2)
Moving Pictures popped into my head because the first thing I think of when somebody mentions Neil Peart is the bridge from "Tom Sawyer". Power Windows, however, is my favorite '80s Rush album.
But I agree that Vapor Trails is better. :-)

No, but I do have a tin whistle and a bamboo flute that I bought for a dollar. I'm not very good at the instruments that require you to supply air.

So, what you are saying is that you aren't good at blowing.
