Are you sure you're not watching Meatloaf instead.
It's a common mistake.

I don't think Meatloaf's ever included a hurdy-gurdy in his songs.

My Dad made one out of a kit once, which is the sort of thing he does quite a lot. It didn't sound very nice.
We did Italian longsword tonight, which was very twirly.

That concert I was watching.
The hurdy-gurdy only shows up in the first song. (And I notice Régine Chassagne is one of the musicians listed on the wikipedia page Limey linked to.)

It was one of the more awkward aspects of what may or may not have been a mid-life crisis.
But then again, he's a rock star, he's a bass player, and he's English, so existential crisis is difficult to peg.

There's nothing like a holiday weekend to bring out the awkwardness that is my existence.
"So, NobodysHome, what are you doing this holiday weekend?"
"I have no idea."
"What do you mean? Don't you have plans?!?!?"
"Well, NobodysWife really wants to go to the Steampunk/Anime conventions in the South Bay at some point, Shiro's player is running a massive Call of Cthulu game at KublaCon either Friday night or Saturday, we all really want to keep Sunday open for Skull&Shackles but it doesn't look like it'll work out, Impus Major has at least 3 major projects he's working on..."
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!!!!!!"
Yeah, this weekend is just oh-so-typical. I have no idea what I'll be doing; I just know "having free time" isn't on my list...

I made the acquaintance of an escort who played the ukulele.
She also sang beautifully.
I truly loved the planet earth song from Steven universe before, but she sang it and I wanted to cry. Her voice was wonderful.

The really sad part of this is that I can clearly see this happening in a tabletop game.

To catch up on some of what happened while I was asleep:
Height comparisons: I am roughly 6' tall.
Math stuff: Love math. The video with the infinite summing of +/-1 equaling 1/2 makes sense to me.
CY's pictures: For some reason I can't see them. The pages won't load. Do I need a photobucket membership or something?
Also, my manager has told me I will be getting a raise soon, he just isn't sure how much it will be. I'm hoping for at least 3%, since that's what I got last year.

I am not specially good at Math. I had awful teachers who only taught to learn everything by heart. I need to understand things to learn them so I lost interest.
I can't see most CY pics either.
Congrats for the raise!!!
And yay for puns in the early morning. It is already a tradition for me, I cannot fully wake up without reading some puns.

Enjoy the jokes while you can. I'm going to my parents' house for a couple of days, and their wifi is fickle. I may or may not be able to post, or I may not or I may, and I will or won't know until I am or am not able to post or not. Did I make that last sentence unclear enough, or should I try harder.
