Just another underpants Sunday

Sunday, I officially hit a new low. Longtime fans of the blog know of my affinity for Guitar Hero. While I've mastered the Easy and Medium modes, I've only dabbled in Hard and Expert because they require you to use 4 fingers across 5 buttons (see right). So, I picked up my axe, Les Tall Paul, and decided to play "Slow Ride" by Foghat on Hard. As expected, I was booed of the stage due to my high level of suckitude. No big deal.

Here's where things go South. Instead of retreating back to Medium or turning off my TV and going outside perhaps to enjoy a delicious fruit smoothie with a regulating Fiber Boost at Jamba Juice, I did something I promised myself I never would. I tried to play the song on practice mode at half speed. Why is this so terrible? Even if I were to waste a week or two practicing at half-speed to somehow master Hard and then Expert, I'd just get too good to play against my friends. And then I'd be sitting at home playing Guitar Hero alone.

In addition to my aforementioned moment of weakness, I watched a Rock of Love 2 marathon and did not put on pants all day. What the hell do people do for fun on a Sunday when it's freezing outside? Please let me know in the comments.

PS: Normally, I would have played GH against my buddy Tim, but in his words "my computer is running placement simulations so i can't play with someone else"
