So.....

Time for an update I think!

Some sadness in the Bunny Kingdom.  We just lost 3 of our babies in as many days.  Two seem to have been due to weak hearts, they just stopped doing anything and died.  The third one somehow got a broken leg, which will remain a total mystery to us.  He was fine in the morning, then later on in the day he was dragging one of his back legs.  The remaining 3 babies seem to be fine, so fingers crossed for Bun, Possum and Pebbles.

Still with the rabbits, we saw a strange thing the other morning.  One of the local cats (who seem to have given up trying to kill the rabbits now) was sitting with his side pressed right up against the wire.   Possum was on the other side of the wire, GROOMING THE CAT!  WTF???

Anyway, as you know, the dissertation is in and I have me new guitar.  The guitar is beautiful and I will post a video soon.  I was telling a friend about it and he said that there is a bar in town which as a musical "open mic" night each week and encouraged me to compose something wonderful and play it there.  Interesting thought, I already have an idea that will be amazing if I have the talent to make it work.

So...

Life can start to return to normal...

I have all sorts of things to do this summer - music, wargames, camping (we just bought a new tent to replace the faithful old teepee), etc.  Who knows, maybe I will get to writing my Ultimate Action Story!

I feel like such a slacker. I've fallen so far behind with blogging - reading AND writing. And I blame life and work, but here you've been living life, working AND completing your dissertation. And you still manage to maintain your blog.

Must figure out how you manage! :-)

You deserve to enjoy some fun and relaxation after how hard you've worked lately!

I think there's little you can't do, if you set your mind to it. Do the gig and post it (get your friend to video it)- now, wouldn't that be awesome?

So sorry about the bunnies. I think Possum is taking that adage, "..and hold your enemies closer." literally!

Well, sorry about the bunnies. That possum sure knows which butt to kiss!

You at open mic with the new guitar? Can we say we knew you before you went viral on youtube?

Rock Chef said...

Shrinky - Put my first gig in years on video? I think not!

Abby - I would be the YouTube "Hey, what the &%$£ does this guy think he is doing?" video...

Sorry to hear about the bunnies. I think Possum is already working his way up the corporate ladder by learning who's butt to kiss.

Can't wait to see a video of your new toy. Hopefully, you can have someone tape you on open mic night. Some careers have started in similar places.

I see photos here and there of an animal caring for a different species that usually does not get along together. Sort of like humans.

Great that the dissertation is complete and turned in and you can enjoy some music time. I for one am looking forward to seeing the video. Rock on.

So sorry to hear about your bunnies.:(

You really should try the open mic nights. My hubby's done a few of those. You can meet up with some interesting musicians - some are good, some just think they are.
BTW, he started out playing by a campfire with all our friends singin along... 'course he has an acoustic guitar. I imagine it wouldn't be as peaceful with an amped up bass. :)
