Done yesterday (20110910 Sa)

( raw notes )

My main accomplishment yesterday was my post about Trinh Cong Son. Maybe now I can go back to working on my songs?

I also created a new tag: nse, for "New Song Energy". And if "Songs for Saturday" turns into a series, I'll have to come up with a tag for that, too. Later, if it happens.

I spend too much time on LJ and DW. But I did go out for a 3-mile walk, and worked on learning chords. Fsus2 and Am6 are still kind of shaky.

And I did a fair amount of puttering in the office, ending up with a box being recycled and its contents put away. So that's a win, too.

Oh, and cooked dinner: chili and cornbread. Tasty.

Yeah, a pretty good day.

Lots of links, too, although most of them have already showed up in the previous post. The best, clearly, is haikujaguar's "A Definition of Success":

So, I am going to bookmark this post. And when I am feeling anchorless, I will come back to this. You should too. Because if you have ever made a single thing that touched another person, you too, have succeeded.

And I got replies to my comment, which made me feel happy and accomplished. And I noticed that. Maybe I'm getting better at this "being human" thing?

Probably all you'll hear from me on the subject

Today in history: this country suffered a major defeat in the Battle of Brandywine, September 11, 1777.

The battle, which was a decisive victory for the British, left Philadelphia, the revolutionary capital, undefended. The British captured the city on September 26, beginning an occupation that would last until June 1778.
