@lpf that's... a bit more rock/punk than I would have expected. The original is a bit more glam-rock, I give you that, so it all comes down to taste. Emil Bulls isn't mine, but it was an interesting version, nonetheless. Heh, I wouldn't even mind if you'd not like the original, but I'm always happy to be pointed to different versions/interpretations of songs I like.
@Anek that was before my time now and after my time then
They seem like a short read, so I might give them a try. As long as the relationships are believable and there isn't suddenly sex, I'm game.
@Fremen ha! I started reading the first Mercy Thompson book a couple of days ago! So far I like it a lot! Very good recommendation
I'll put your other two recs on my list. The Kate Daniels series was actually in another recommendation thread, but I have ignored them for now. I'll give them a try, many thanks! And I like Romance novels, but I hate it when the characters are getting into each other because
they have to, it's a romance novel, dammit! and no other reason.
I haven't been around the past days, but I still did something every day. I don't write everything down here, I have my calendar for that, I only note today.
Day... (I'm counting on my fingers right now and it's harder than it should be)...
23, I think.

I have to re-evaluate my workout plan. I feel it got a bit too much, in matters of time, not matters of what I can do. I'm now at 2 or more hours playing the bass, and between that, my writing that's going great at the moment, and a couple of minor things, I find it difficult to cram all five challenges and two programs into the day. Especially because The Guardian and Splits take forever. Hero's Journey, too. Baseline is as boring as I remembered it to be, and with all those thoughts floating around the other things just fell off the waggon. I'll do some easy days until I figure out how to restart and build a schedule around the other things.
Honestly, at the moment I don't want to cut back on the bass. I have struggled for so long with practising it, the fact that I don't really want to put it away after an hour or so is just too great. I'm playing a lot of early Johnny Cash songs, and it's a blast. I have an unhealthy liking for old country music, considering that I'm as European as one can get.
Anyway, yesterday we finally mowed the lawn. And because the grass and flowers were already knee-high (well, my low to the ground knee high) the mower couldn't really just mow comfortably, so I had to guide it a bit like a wild tiger, jumping into the grass to cut off the heads of all those pretty buttercups with a loud *vroom vroom vroom* and the blossoms and leafs and grass were spraying everywhere, it was as fascinating as it was gruesome. And kind of fun. And a good workout. Now the lawn looks like someone hacked it down with a dull machete, but at least it's short now. It was the best I could do.
Hope you all had a nice and chill Thursday, it was a holiday over here and we had a super tasty apple pie out of the rice cooker

I think Hysteria has one of those basslines that look deceptively easy, but have fun playing that straight and precisely for the almost 4 minutes the song takes. Chris Wolstenholme is said to have fantastic endurance when playing bass and strong fingers. Let me know when you've aced the challenge!

You know, not all women knit socks for their husbands (I absolutely don't know how to knit and don't have the patience to learn...) but then again, I have a rather tiny husband and we have the same shoe-size (very convenient sometimes, though I borrow his shoes a lot more than he borrows mine... Such a wonder... 
)
maybe the magic of gaming will help me overcome my dislike of them. After twenty minutes of the first few seconds of Blitzkrieg Bop I'm still not wholly convinced... But, time flew, I had the guitar in hand for around an hour until my ringfinger had no strength any more
Good sign, tho. I want to play moar bass. I also figured I should set my eyes on one song and practise that thoroughly. One song that isn't super-duper easy
