The other day…

…was guitar class. We have moved on from “To Romance” and are now learning a Chinese folk song entitled something like “the moon is my heart”. Why are we learning this song? To help me pick up chicks. Apparently Danna has enlisted our guitar teacher in her mission to find me a good Chinese girl.

I’m not sure the difference between a good Chinese girl and a bad Chinese girl, or the difference between a good Chinese girl and EJ’s good Korean girl. I’ve never claimed to understand women.

My guitar teacher's shop and studio

I may go to a Chinese punk rock concert soon. That seems to be the only concerts that are advertised in the guitar shop where I study. Maybe I can find a busty goth/punk chick for my buddy Aahz. China isn’t exactly overflowing with busty goth/punk chicks, but it is the thought that counts, right?

Me and my Chinese guitar teacher

The other thing I did on Tuesday was see Vivian. Vivian is my oddly aquired unofficial Chinese language exchange partner. Danna was initially skeptical of Vivian, partly because of how we met, partly because she’s overprotective, partly because Vivian is a hulking sub 100 pound Chinese girl who could rip me to threads in the blink of an eye from across the table at the Sculpting in Time cafe, or something. Now that we’ve met twice for coffee and I told Danna how strict Vivian is at correcting my pronounciation of ci versus zi and that I’ve actually learned some new Chinese idioms. These idioms will show up as phrases of the moment no doubt soon.

So once Danna started to warm to Vivian she asked what she looked like. I told Danna she is young and slim, you’ll hate her. Vivian actually looked more attractive this time. Last time we met I was just starting to get sick and wasn’t in the best mood, but I didn’t want to cancel at the last minute so I went. This time I was in a better mood and I even may have learned something. We even talked about my website and I gave Vivian another business card, she might even be a loyal reader now. However she would not consent to have her photo taken in the cafe that day. I thought she looked great, but she wanted to look her best for the readers of Muskblog so she is personally selecting an image to appear on my website.

She also mentioned how she has a roommate and that she is also a 美女.

    [...] The day started off with me getting out of bed early, not eating breakfast because I’m was out of cereal then buying some sort of Chinese baked good on the way to the post office. I went to the post office to pick up a parcel containing a gift for my guitar teacher. It was a t-shirt from Larivee guitars. I also requested and received a catalogue and they threw in some stickers and keychains too. First rate job, I guess they bought my story about being from Vancouver and having friends who used to work at the factory and needing a gift for my Chinese guitar teacher. It’s amazing what the truth can accomplish, more people should try it. [...]

    [...] My guitar teacher in China was a huge Steve Vai fan I think. He played a seven string Ibanez and I always had to remember to count back from the nut and up from the high pitched E string. I also learned to count off music in Chinese. ;-) [...]

    [...] My Chinese guitar teacher indeed most teachers try to get me to use one, but I’m way better and way more expressive without it. I’ve been working hard on using the whole neck and a bastardized classical picking style on my right hand. I can play with one, two, or three fingers and I like to switch between all three styles as well as incorporating using my nail for more chime and volume and even some plucking when I want to get funky.
