hobby i use the newest sony walkman as my mp3 player. 8g, video, photos, its about the size of a zippo and it was like $50...it replaced my $250 ipod. It fits in the tiny pocket in my jeans. I have an iphone and prefer my walkman because theres no software and when i plug it in i just get a normal folder window to move my stuff....not itunes....hate itunes.

Today I taught myself to play O Holy Night on my new electric piano, because it's Easter. No notes or nothing, just my brain.

how close am i?

vD milk, pepper, milk, garlic from the jar, mayo, chedder, mustard, no salt. Can also add in bacon bits, but this isn't mandatory. (I'm dead on, I know it!) This is soul food style, and I get highly offended if you ask for gravy.

If I see a note written out, I can play it, very slowly. I know the notes, but I can't hear them in my head when I look at them.

If I may make a suggestion for some music that will help you learn/relearn sight-reading and add dynamics to your playing, I recommend Erik Satie, specifically his Gymnopedie #1. Fairly simple piece even for beginners, but you will learn much that will benefit you when you move on to more complex pieces.

Not all that close, surprisingly. Missing a few key ingredients, and you have a few extra.

This is very similar to twice-baked potatoes. You don't put gravy on those. Gravy goes on your bread. I have tamer potato recipes, but I still get offended if you ask for gravy.

You realize this is, like, a Christmas song, right?

I don't get offended if people put gravy on my mashed potatoes, but they don't need it.

Jesus was both Man and God. His birth was a miracle, and his resurrection was a miracle. It's all connected, you see.

I love O Holy Night, but geez, Easter is a morning thing. Not a night thing.

The real miracle is how those bunnies keep pooping out divine chocolate eggs.

I get offended because I never make it. When I make good food, and none of it involves gravy, do they expect me to use packaged? I make kick ass reduction sauce, but that's a different meal entirely that will have mashed potatoes anyways.

I am now teaching myself, purely by sound, the Mountain Goats' song Heretic Pride.

If someone expects me to cook, that person should be ready to explore a different style, and if they aren't at least willing to touch the potatos with no gravy, that sux.

I might suggest:

Christ the Lord is Risen Today

I Know That My Redeemer Lives

Crown Him with Many Crowns

If you really want to stay focused on raising from the dead, you can always work on the theme song from "Dracula."

I still find it rude and even a bit amazing that people will salt their food without even tasting it first, but I've gotten shouted down for mentioning it here before.

This is a courtesy that has fallen out of the forefront of most minds.

Presumably the cook went to the trouble of tasting the food and seasoning it appropriately before it was even put on your plate. How about giving it a chance?
