This Post Had a Title but It Blew Away

Yesterday could be described only as dreary. It was the kind of day where you wake up, look out the window and just get depressed because everything looks so gray. Even the clouds felt like they were pressing in, crowding out everything else. It was very…blah. And very windy. VERY Windy. when I was shoveling the snow off of my porch I just had to push it over the stairs and the wind would pick it up and carry it at least to my neighbors yard. Kinda lost track of it after that.
The weather was made up for though by the fact that Wassy came over last night and we hung out a bit, playing some Guitar Hero and listening to music (Nevermore and Nightwish, specifically) while she worked on one of her drawings (which is turning out very nicely).
It was a fun time, and I learned that I apparently make a pretty good cup of tea which is nice because it was the first time I brewed a cup for somebody else. Or made anything for a person other than myself for that matter. I don't trust my cooking ability enough to subject other people to my food. But the tea turned out pretty well, so I hear.
The only real down point of the evening was the fact that my apartment was freezing again due to the high speed cold winds blowing at my wall. I should get thicker curtains for the windows. I think that would really help keep the cold out.
Time For Music Maybe?

I've got what looks to be a backlog of stuff to talk about that I should have mentioned earlier in the week, but as you might be able to tell, I didn't. So the next couple posts are going to be me catching up.
Earlier in the week I came to the conclusion that I wanted to try a new hobby because the stuff that I traditionally enjoyed doing with my free time wasn't really interesting me anymore, aside from video games and wandering around, wasting time on the internet. I kinda felt that I was wasting my free time (moreso on the countless hours spent just visiting internet forums and not as much on the video games) and that I could spend that time doing something a little more productive.
I keep telling myself that I'd like to learn how to play some kind of instrument and I think I should stop thinking about it and actually do something about it. So I've been toying with the idea of picking up a decent, but still affordably priced entry level MIDI Controller/keyboard thingy for myself that I can hook up to my MacBook and mess around with. I think it might be fun to learn. I had toyed with the idea of a guitar as well, but I dunno. I think I'll give the electronic stuff a shot and if that doesn't keep me interested, try guitar out.
I just feel like I haven't learned anything new in quite some time and I'm too boring as it is since I don't really have any hobbies aside from video games. Don't get me wrong, games are fun, but they don't offer the feeling of personal fulfillment that I'm looking for.
