What’s on your mind?

Congrats on the new Strat - I bet it looks awesome and plays even more awesome - love that "quacky" strat sound !

I have an American Strat too - but like Mefisto I would love to add a Telecaster maybe one with the "f" hole - but sadly not in the budget for a while.

Here is a link to "Chord Namer" - I find it very useful and a big time saver for figuring out what the name of the chords I am using (I learned by ear and don't know the names of most of the chords I use) - it's really cool IMHO - just plug in the notes you are using on each fret and it tells you the name of the chord - no more searching chord charts

Chord Namer

JGuitar's chord namer will automatically name almost any chord shape. Simply tell it where on the fretboard you're placing your fingers.

anyway - enjoy your new strat

Thanks for that. Looks good

My best friend is starting a new job today. I'm hoping it all goes smoothly...

Are you a student presenting a project, or an architect presenting to a potential client?

Either way, best of luck!

Student presenting project. Thanks you!

A Good Monday:

Work going smoothly, saw Blue Jays 2x so far 😍, cheered mom up, and started a new arm workout.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Monday mornings aren’t my favourite. So many things to do. Never know which to start with. So I’m procrastinating whilst waiting for a call back instead. Terrible!

Nor mine, and never were.

Apart - perhaps - from a sunny Monday morning in June....

I have my first presentation in architecture this afternoon, and I still need to prep some of the materials.

Wish me luck

The very best of luck with it.

Hope Monday continues to be good.

Here, it is raining, - I a cooking at and listening to the rain - I have (almost) run out of coffee - (am awaiting a delivery), earlier I put on a wash, but now, I am preparing for my French class this evening.

Enjoy your French class.

Enjoy your French class.

You know what? I think that I should have paid closer heed to (French) grammar when I was at school.

All that Male and female stuff I vaguely remember from French. I only did French for three years. And that was a lot of decades ago!

Male and female stuff (nouns) are bad enough, but then they have to agree with adjectives, which change according not only to gender, but also depending on whether they are singular or plural.

I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it.

Same in Italian You also have to know if an object is male or female.

Very confusing and frustrating, at times.

It's to keep your mind sharp!

Meanwhile German and Russian speakers snicker.

That's why I keep my foreign languages to a few words and phrases from foreign movies.

The many times I've used "Bene, Porco!" as a quiet insult has been a blessing. 😋

I do not remember my high school French except for: Yes, No, I don't know, My name is, the curse word for $**t, and Where is the bathroom?

From an employment perspective, it was a rather productive day today.

I feel like I actually made some progress...

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Coffee: Received a note (by email) that I shall receive a delivery of coffee tomorrow.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Mind and memory, both.

Meanwhile German and Russian speakers snicker.

Oh, good grief, yes.

Latin, too.

All of those awful cases........(in addition to nouns differentiated by gender and all of that business where nouns have a gender and have to agree with the gender).

 

[yaxomoxay]

Mind and memory, both.

Yes, but the randomness of the English pronunciation ain't much better.
"Lead", "Read", and "Arkansas" come to mind.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

I grant you that.

However, that, plus the extensive and peculiarly precise vocabulary make English an easy language to become reasonably proficient in (compared to other languages the grammar is relatively easy as it retains only vestiges of cases, straightforward tenses, no gender in nouns or necessity for gendered nouns to agree with pronouns or adjectives) but a difficult one in which to achieve full fluency.

I fully agree with the statement. I guess all languages have their... foolishness.

Plus, with English, there has been (over the past few centuries) a marked divergence between how some words are written and how they are pronounced ('the great vowel change'); originally, the written form reflected the spoken version, for, the spoken for determined what would appear on the writer page.

However, pronunciation - and accents - change more rapidly than written forms, which can then take a considerable while to catch up.

Coffee.

My coffee delivery arrived this morning.

What’s on my mind recently is just hoping my family and I get out of this pandemic unscathed and none of us gets sick.

Other than that, counting my blessings daily as I’m very blessed.
