glass half full and weekend itinerary

The best part of my week has always been guitar lesson. And this week was no different. Chris' enthusiasm and patience is endless. Believe me, the latter, he needs a lot of! I've finally managed, clearly strummed bar chords. This isn't so easy for my small hands on the acoustic, but I can now play 1st position bar chords.

In the spirit of glass half fullness, here are some other noteworthy events from the week:

1) Searching for ATM's in the H-burg and perusing all that the Beer King has to offer. Cold, crisp deliciousness. The guy manning the counter was not, to a nominal amount of disappointment, dressed in kingship attire.

He was also not very impressed.

2) Catching Tim stretch in front of the vending machine, in preparation for his newly purchased Combos. Hilarious! He was as giddy as a schoolgirl about those Combos:

Pretzel on the outside. Cheese on the inside. It's a snack to be consumed with childish delight.

3) Bringing a cold, Rocky Mountain suitcase into Thai Palace and leaving with it mostly empty.

4) Slideshow making. It brings me great joy.

5) Playing guitar in the middle of the night in my tshirt and undies. Also brings me great joy.

6) Alex the iBanker's blog post (as well as postings by other members of the Asian Blog Mafia). Yes, Alex. I AM a self-professed Twinkie.
