Lou Reed – A Walk On The Wild Side 4:11

Went to our second Pre Natal class last night, and another familiar turned up, Dana Sulivan is having her second baby this April.
Was a bit of fun, split into Guys and Girls everyone got a bit playful and we had some good laughs.

I also managed to learn a bit this time, which should hopefully be helpful in the coming weeks.

Planning a VASK meet, will be the first I literally plan, moved it from the trusty Roundabout Pub in Tawa into town, hopefully Oriental Bay will have some decent parking by the evening, and we can jet up Mt. Vic, get some decent photo’s of the Wellington based car’s before finding a decent pub to have a beer at.

Speaking of Vask, i recently threw this up, a vid comprised of images I’ve otherwise taken, or come across using the forum’s, hope you like.

Making use of my pics, better than them sitting round doing nothing

The Cars- Good Times Roll 3:44

Rowland (Transfeild’s Wellington regional manager) has apparently called Anna Gilchrist to ask if I can get signed up on a temporary contract, so I could become a fully fledged employee of Telecom as soon as tomorrow.

I changed my course dates to March 22nd until April the 3rd, purely so I wouldn’t miss the birth of my first child.

Things aren’t going along as fast as I would have liked, but I can’t feel negative about it, I’ve been going through some pretty full on shit lately, and sorting out work / a career has been one of my better points through-out a very strung out pregnancy.

as usual, kiwi music videos seem to be better then anything coming out of the crapfarms in the U.S, no blinging in this, just a good solid song and video.

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Under The Bridge (Acoustic) 4:05

Rawiri has often mentioned that he is on the lookout for a ukulele, since veiwing the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain ive considerd it also.
Due to a broken finger he managed to get himself, while playing a touch rugby variant (hear that kids sports and fitness never pay!), he hasn’t been able to update and tell you all that he’s got himself a very very cool one, and its become a freaky obsession of his.

While visiting I managed to have a quick jam on his Uke, and mentioned that I really enjoyed it, and my would love to have one, the very next day I get a phone call asking me what colour I’d like my ukulele to be, I opted for a rock’n'roll black.

I found at that Benny has exactly the same Ukulele, so decided almost instantly that I wanted to personalise mine somewhat, and began looking for a suitable rock and roll sticker, I went into the sound centre today and asked if they had any *cheap* rock stickers in stock, eventually deciding on a very cool TOOL logo which was around the right size.

so looking for a decent chromatic tuner now (Ra got a link to the one you were telling me about?)

And to finish off, this guys pretty rad, and I’m currently learning this song.
