"Someone who can't even play guitar doesn't deserve a two thousand dollar Les Paul as their first guitar - especially not for only five hundred dollars of borrowed cash." So says mai kareshi (drummer and guitarist) who has been kind enough to watch K-ON with me. And while he definitely doesn't mind the moe overload, I think the DUMB overload is getting to him. Yui shops for a guitar, but her only metric seems to be the cuteness of it, rather than Mio's more intelligent suggestions like neck width and weight. Watching how Yui managed to gleefully skip through the guitar purchasing process with hardly any effort on her part was a little disappointing. Especially since she shows no decent care for her shiny new instrument, spending more time posing and taking pictures with it than actually practicing. Like she says, she "looks like" a musician. She certainly isn't one yet. No actual effort in saving up? No buying a cheaper one for now? Why can't my new best friend own a music store too? I'd gleefully help myself to a new violin and keyboard for eighty percent off (with enough left over to get a Les Paul and a new drum set for him). Watching him yell "Don't!" along with Mio when Yui was about to unplug her guitar from the amp was kinda cute, though. Hmm...I hope he doesn't read this. >.> Anyway. Summary: Yui got a guitar. The end. Here's to more cute next week and less sadness (we're just jealous, really).
P.S.
There's no such thing as a Fender Les Paul, but it magically transformed into a Gibson when no one was looking.

I joined orcestra club yesterday, but I can't play nothin'. I'm learning the violin, so can anyone lend me some money for a Stradivarius?
