Some Rivendelling

I've been all restless today in between trying to write, so in addition to heading down to Lake Forest Park to run a couple of errands, I decided to knock off an extra mile on the treadmill. Here's hoping it's actually burned off enough of my restlessness to let me write a few more words.

And hey, if that doesn't help, I can always attribute it to being inspired by mizkit telling me I look much thinner in my recent book pictures than the last time she saw me, which was last year's Writer's Weekend! I told her if I knock off another twenty pounds or so I'll look a lot more like my avatar, and she said I'd look all svelte and elfin.

I could live with that!

Friday miles: 2.0 (maybe? I'm giving myself an extra mile here to accommodate the walking I did during my bus screwups)
Saturday miles: 3.0 (walking down to LFP and treadmill)
Miles out of Hobbiton: 169.5
Miles to Rivendell: 288.5

And in musical news...

I think Carbon Leaf may well have secured a place now as my official third favorite band. I just was moved to go find the tabs for "Raise the Roof", to see if I could figure out how to play it. From this I have learned that "Raise the Roof" is in the key of D--no wonder I can sing it. ;) (Mostly. I can't quite manage to hit that lowest note when the verse goes down to "I need proof". Foo. I have to take it up a couple of keys to actually be able to hit all the notes.)

Simple chord writeup, though. All D, G, and A. I'm not convinced that that's all that's in there, though--my ear kept wanting to put in some Asus4 and Dsus4 as transition chords. I need to listen a little harder and figure out if those chords are actually in there.

It sounds like it'll be a pretty easy song for me to try to figure out how to sing while I'm playing, though. Whoot!
