Warning: Guitar Hero may cause chapped lips

I've been rocking out like Joe Perry.

I've been jamming like Bon Jovi.

I've been strumming my guitar that has no strings and five notes.

Oh, oh have I been whaling. Not the mean kind that ends up with me in a vat of blubber. I've learned my lesson the hard way on that one.

Anyway. You get the point. Guitar Hero is the new to do in my house. We got everything. Guitar, check! Bass, check! Drums, check! And apparently my mother bought the microphone today so microphone, check!

When the T's are home it's like Guitar Hero is the only thing they can do. Yes, I find it somewhat irritating when they walk in and go straight to the basement to play. Frankly I get Heroed out then. But I digress.

During these marathon Guitar Hero sessions I have drawn a key conclusion. I realized one night as I was laying down to drift off to a peaceful slumber that my lips were chapped. I wanted Ashley to bring me my Chapstick but she was too busy grating a log of cheese to do it and told me to use one of the nurses. Gross! No, kidding. Anyway. I thought it was from the blustery hot tub experience but as the days went on I figured it out. It's from Guitar Hero.

How you ask? Well I found that I am living up to my last name while playing. No not drinking. The whole wag your tongue while doing something. I don't do the tractor noises like the elders I more of just stick it out a little bit during the particularly difficult passages. And that is how I got chapped lips. From licking them while trying to master BYOB by Systems of a Down. That song is tough. Even on medium.

I haven't really played all that much Hero lately and what do you know, my lips aren't chapped! My theory stands.

Alright I have things to do with my free time. I'm burning CD's to my computer, copying recipes and doing what ever else tickles my fancy. I got a game to cover tomorrow night so I thought I'd come on down a little early to be some what productive in a non-productive way.

It makes sense. Just think about it.

Chow mein!
