Hop On The Cum Bus!

*sigh* whoa. that was weird. Something jsut moved on my desk without any assistance. I'm going COO-KOO! KA CHOO! Ok. It's not moving now. Maybe I should lay off on the LSD.

Yeah. So this is my story:

I'm walking by the PAB building towards Shoenburg today, and I'm rushing a little bit because I was supposed to meet this guys Evan who is looking to sell my a cumbus (it's a turkish banjo.. I like the name ;-)... and I'm running a bit late to meet him because I had to grab something to eat to delay my death from starvation. So, there's this corner you turn to go towards the entry to Shoenburg, and it has been just newly landscape with grass. In order to keep the new grass nice, they roped the corner off so that people like me don't run their dirty feet all over it. Well, most people give in to the trick, let Facilities control their path of travel; I however, uh... don't.. which will result in hilarity -- as usual.

But hark! I see that the rope is layed upon the ground, having lost its tautness to the poles. So it's on the ground and I think Great! I can just cut this corner! Super! And I step over it, but just before I do I think This is going to end poorly And THAT my friends, is how to jynx yourself. I always do it! Gah! Yeah, so as I stepped over it a gust of wind blew; I tried to lift my foot higher, but it snagged, and ok.... I totally eat it on the grass. My glass go flying off my head! But the salad, the salad I had put so much rigorous effort into constructing -- it was ok. People laughed at me.

I swear to God, I'm not sure how I survive the embarrassment of being me.

All for the goddamn cumbus, which I wasn't able to pick up yet.

haha. cumbus. Oh, grow up Susanne.

It's pronounced "jump-bush". Really, I know, I'm a Turkish guy (from the Netherlands actually but anyway). Bookmarked your blog. ;)

haha. yeah, I know. It's just hilarious to be grossly immature about shit. Do you know the proper tuning for it? Does it vary by region/style or is there a standard tuning for it?

Check: http://www.rootsworld.com/turkey/cumbus.html under "tuning". I don't know if it's a standard tuning. I play the saz by the way.
