I never did share these with you. My wife got me a sweet little PA speaker I can sing through.
And my friend Paul gave me a little mixing board so I can play the guitar through the same speaker. The guitar my wife got me last Christmas.
So now I have a nice little set up in the music room… 
… which used to be Jessica’s bedroom, but she moved to Arizona… so… Oh, and her gift to me was getting the new novel ready for printing.
Mollie got me a sushi making kit!
So that will be a fun thing to do. I also got that scorpion in a lollipop. I didn’t take a picture of that, but I will when I eat it.
Pouring My Art Out 
You got all the toys – and no socks! Cool
It was better than the great ‘socks and mustard’ Christmas, that’s for sure.
Sweeeeet!
Yeah it is…
Nice . . . so now you can make music louder?
exactly
Oh dear! And they keep encouraging his insanity!
They have to.
And I somewhat keep loving it.
This got spammed for some reason…
So you can eat your sushi whilst singing and playing your guitar and mixing 😀 Excellent
I am on it.
😀
Scrap that other Hiro sushi link and use this one.

ok
Art,
Since you have the Sushi DVD, you will likely be interested in this PBS program I saw over the holidays. I love watching people who have a passion for their work whether they are masters or not. It is a bonus if they are a recognized master, but experiencing someone’s passion is very inspiring.
Dan
That is cool.
Make your own sushi? It’s bad enough having to wait for the sushi masters to make it, I can’t imagine doing this for myself. I’d have to eat it with a spoon, no doubt.
It sounds like fun.
Can you record on your new music set up? You could serenade us! Oh that would be lovely *staring into space with dreamy faraway look*
Uh… I have some of my original songs right up there… in the top bar… under the button called ‘my original songs’ or something like that.
Oooh I’m on the mobile ap on my android phone so it doesn’t show up. I’ll have to log in from the PC tonight.
I can’t do anything on my phone.
really? I have the WP mobile ap. It lets me read and comment and like things, but you don’t see the full site, just the post
I am not smart enough.
I’m not either, but I have a smart phone, it thinks for me. I am now redundant. I’m not sure if I’m even typing this.
I know I’m not typing this…
Our smart phones are communicating for us, while we drink beer and eat peanuts.
Our cars will soon be driving themselves too…
Won’t that be nice? The car can be the designated driver!
Send it out on errands…
Nice setup! What kind of guitar?
I have a sushi mat I keep meaning to use, but haven’t yet.
An old 1960’s Ovation… solid oak neck, I think. Heavy as heck. Built in passive pick up.
why not?
Just haven’t gotten to it.
After I wrote the comment though, I told my wife we were picking up the stuff we needed (avocado, carrot, etc) at the market next week because it’s time we finally tried it.
Culinary mayhem to come!
Woot and a special drink I’ve never heard of to go with it!
And here I was ready to give our Saki set to the Salvation Army…
(It was a wedding gift.)
(Who the hell gives a saki set as a wedding gift?)
(I guess it’s because we already had a fondue pot.)
(Which we use, thankyouverymuch.) 😉
A Saki set! ahahaha! I don’t know who would do that, I guess all you can do is have fondue fish with Saki
Our fondues are either cheese or chocolate.
I always giggle when we have fondue, because seriously? Fondue?
mmmm….cheeessseee! but i know what you’re saying, are you stuck in the 70s?
I never ask that. I burned my earth-tone plaid turtleneck on new years day, 1980.
(Actually, I was 10 then. But there’s a picture of me in that thing from when I’m six.
*shudder*
That’s soo funny!
I haaaaaate that picture. I look ridiculous – this tiny head poking out of a mas of 70s fashion.
I think I got my loathing of corduroy from that pic.
We all did… ha…
Don’t let Arthur get a hold of it! lol You should see some of the terrible hair cuts I got as a kid ugh!
I lt a friend cut my hair in high school.
I looked like a war crime. Literally.
Until it grew out, another friend had a girl convinced I’d gotten out of a pow camp in Afghanistan.
You have some stories!!
In many of them, I come out looking like an idiot. Doesn’t make them any less funny though!
I like them the best
Sorry no it does not!
Pfft!
(I’m the first to laugh at myself in a good story!)
Well that rocks, I’m happy to laugh at….um I mean with you too!
😉 That’s what I’m here for.
(It’s a public service.)
Well I really like this public service ;D
Fun and Games is my middle name.
(You should see the looks I get at DMV.)
Why do I believe that?!
Pheremones.
You have to know how to emit the right smell.
(Please tell me you get that reference.)
I totally get the reference…lol
Ah, bless you!
Not enough people know Hitchhikers Guide anymore.
I can’t say I like the movie at all though
The bit with the yarn was cute. Other than that, yeah, not so much.
I read the sixth book by a different author. Not so good.
My hats off to you for being able to read the book! lol
So is the wepoetsshowit really gone forever???
It will be by the end of the month. I have however joined forces with another and we will be working together. Do you know Rara?
Rarasaur???
Yes!
I just met her… cool.
Yeah she’s awesome!
indeed
I have a ghost writer doing all my comments now…
They better do a better job with my books.
ha!
no… not ha
Even less will when my novels completely take over the genre…
She lives in the wilderness… the beavers and moose use smells all the time.
pft
oh come on… you are practically living in a musk cloud
I emit a wide variety of smells… some work better than others
Because you are too trusting.
that a possibility
it is, isn’t it
I love it when people bond on my blog… now stop ignoring me!!!
Sure! Sorry about that.
(Who are you again)
…ooo000ooo…
Can I get fries with that?
Ask him,
I’m too shy
pft
I really am.
a public specatacle
YES!
sigh
yeah she is
😉
Not always
Can’t think of any instance. When?
I forget what we were talking about…
ha
How old are you? You were in high school during the Afghanistan war???
I’m in my low 40s. This would have been around 92 or 93.
Sorry – he cut my hair in college.
Typo?
I thought we caught you… as some pimply teenager in their parent’s basement pretending to be an actual person…
I thought we caught you… as some pimply teenager in their parent’s basement pretending to be an actual person…
I thought we caught you… as some pimply teenager in their parent’s basement pretending to be an actual person…
Oh, I could have fun with that
Now we’re in trouble Guaps!
please…
is it?
yes
oh
did it smell like burning cheese?
It smelled a jackass was going to buy a white linen miami vice jacket when he was 17 to try and get away from the mental trauma of that outfit.
Boy, did that backfire!
ha
It is back in now
you having a fondu too?
We do it on Valentines day
How romantic…do you wear bell bottoms, poncho’s and peace jewellery?
I do that every day
oh man call the fashion police…oh…wait that’s me!
bell bottoms came back in style… so did tie dye…
Bell bottoms I can live with, tie dye…ugh
whateverman…
I had it in Switzerland, and it was awesome.
I also make a mean fondue on Valentines day… cheese and chocolate
together???
At the same time
That’s…a little weird.
What kind of cheese, and how did it taste?
I make them at the same time, but I don’t combine them.
Truly Sir, thou art a renaissance man!
(We make one, then the other. Dinner and dessert.)
I guess that would work… we dip the apple slices in both though. Plus, we have one of those chocolate fountain things, so…
hmmmm…
really?
maybe
blech
Saki does not sound good to me.
no doubt
yay
You need to make sticky rice
Yummy!
Belated Merry Christmas! 🙂
Thanks… this is how far behind I am…
Happy New Year, too, then! 🙂
Wait… is it a new year???
For some of us. Clearly, you’re operating on Martian time, and take a little longer to make it around the sun… 🙂
The crack squirrels don’t believe in watches.
