Well - expecting a bit of cash in my bank account later this week, and there'll be some left over after paying immediate debts, which is great. So many things to spend it on, though! (It's illogical to save this money.)
Short break...
And after cleaning the beer out of my keyboard and off the front of my screen and amplifier, I can safely say I fucking hate when that happens.
Anyway - back to the money. I know I had been planning on buying a turntable to replace this one I have now for a long time - but I've changed my mind. To what? To a guitar, of course!
Went down to The Music Den a few days ago to see what they have. Some nice guitars there. A few ESP branded guitars, around the $500 mark, which I had budgeted for. One stood out, though, a non-ESP jobbie - looked great. Matte black, little pentagrams for the odd-numbered frets. Very 'metal'. $700 price tag though, blegh. Ah well. Talked to one of the salesdudes - Chris, in fact, and was informed of a store-wide sale coming up for three days in the following week. Awesome. Got a catalogue and had a look. In there, the $700 guitar I had spotted - down to $619. Even better! Turned out to be a Cort EVL-K4.

An RSS feed :) On a side note, I once spilled orange juice (the chunky kind) all over my keyboard and had to pull it apart to clean in the kitchen sink with detergent and all because the keys had stopped coming back up after I pressed them. I didn't, however, do the dishes while I was at the kitchen sink.

An RSS feed eh. I've had it suggested to me before, and it looked straightforward enough to implement, but I never got around to it. That'll be my late-night work for a few days, I guess. (I nearly made a joke about the Windows 'StickyKeys' function, but found I didn't have a piece of rope with which to hang myself afterwards. Shit eh.)

You know, it'd just make keeping up-to-date with you a bit easier :)
