Empire Records; Wednesday [ 12/20 ]

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

In celebration of having on Science-with-an-exclamation point to go, Chad brought both his guitar and a small audience of little plastic dinosaurs into work today, with every intention of practising along with the classic rock he was playing and little intention to actually do much work.

School was almost over for the semester; that called for celebration.


[[ empire's open; I have a very small window of availability today, though, just a warning of possible impending SP ]]

Pippi? Has no class today.

"Hi!"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Heyyy, Pippi. Come celebrate with me."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, what are we celebrating?"

"The end of my difficult exams. No more brain mush from studying." He plucked out something that sounded as triumphant as a bass could get.

"Yay!" Pippi cheered.

She pulled out her drum sticks.

"Jam?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Strawberry, or grape?" He grinned a little.

Pippi stuck her tongue out at him.

"Raspberry it is," he said. He didn't quite know what constituted as a raspberry jam session, but he started playing something in the form of a punk bassline.

Pippi listened to the baseline for a moment, then started drumming on the counter and singing randomly.

My raspberry jam
I am, I am who I am
Tap out the rhythm.

Strum, strum the base line.
Nothin' else to do, that's fine.
The lotus blossoms soon...

Chad knew he probably wasn't nearly as creative as Pippi, but he tried to add a verse as well.

Rockin' December
Afternoon, nothin' to do,
but rock, rock out with you.

The record store, he don't mind,
'Cause we got the dinos up in line,
and...uhh...

um...

Chupacabra!

That signalled off a mega-cool heavy bass solo.

Pippi is able not to lose the rhythm, but she can't stop giggling now.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Chad grunted, not losing his groove, and not actually feeling any of the graveness of his voice. "No giggling. Rock is serious business."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

".... Right" Pippi said putting on a very serious face.

When I sing haiku
And I don't know what to do
The lotus blooms soon.

It's a good phrase
When your head is in a daze
And there's five beats left.

Chad strummed along idly as he thought of the next one.

Singing in haiku
Empire, the dinos, and your
Really doesn't work because its a poetry construction based on Japanese syllabuls that translate horribly when brought into English.

but who the hell cares anyway?

[[ and i must leave rockin' fake work for lame real work ]]
