Melanie's Mostly Writing

Today I played bass guitar for a couple of hours. It’s the first time I’ve played in about two months. I had my nails done and couldn’t pluck the strings without making an annoying clicking noise, and I’m not comfortable using a pick. Now my nails are back to normal I can play again! I missed it so much. When I held my bass again it felt so familiar but when I played it took my fingers a while to loosen up. They felt cumbersome at first but I warmed up.

I love Coca-Cola. Ever since my first sip of it out of an ice cold, curvy glass bottle as a child, I’ve loved it. I usually drink Diet Coke as the real thing is a bit sugary for my teeth. Here in South Korea though it’s Coke Zero that’s available. I usually drink 500ml bottles or 355ml cans, both of which taste pretty good. I was disappointed yesterday when I bought a 250ml bottle from the mart and it was half flat and tasted fake. It tasted like cola from a sodastream not like Coke. The bottle looked authentic so I don’t know what was wrong.
