the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thread

Had another great rehearsal with my yet-to-be-named pop project. Practiced some, decided we play the first song we made much faster and turn it into a post-punk monstrosity and jammed out a great stoner/classic rock thing that made me do what I have never done before I started playing with these dudes: play a fucking solo.

I felt like Santana's retarded brother. It was fun.

Melt-Banana.
TOMORROW NIGHT. AT SOME DIVE.
WELL ACTUALLY IT'S ON THE 3RD. SO NOT TOMORROW.

I've seen Melt-Banana play a couple of times, you're in for a good show.

Drank a whole bottle of Absinthe (the real shit, they just got back from Prague) with 2 of my closest friends. FWIW, Absinthe stacks as well with other *stuff* as some of my favorite effects do....

Had an amazingly strange night.

This headline on UG just made my day:

lol at U2 not being irrelevant. Don't get me wrong, U2 were an amazing band and Bono is a great vocalist. However, they totally are irrelevant and a break up is way past due. When you're writing horrible musicals and releasing 20th anniversary editions of what isn't anywhere near one of your first albums(but it IS a good one), it's time to take a break if only so you can cash in on a big reunion tour.

U2 is one of the last bands that can cash in on the big Baby Boomer bucks. Plenty of other bands have followed this model. The only other viable band, R.E.M., is gearing up for it now(by breaking up, I mean).

Today is such a nice day. Beautiful weather here and seemingly content with everything.
Mhmm.

[snipelfritz]

No beautiful weather here. Rainy and cold. Get ready for it. It's comin' your way.

So I'm starting to get the hang of confronting my issues rather than hiding from them and letting them spiral out of control. I actually checked my bank balance and I have $93. I wasn't looking because I was afraid my paycheck wasn't going to cover whats left of my tuition expenses which just so happen to be $90. Whoop whoop! Now I need to handle this parking ticket, and I'm golden. Working two jobs sucks, but it's gonna be nice when I have that extra cash from last weekend and the next two.

[kbit]

Today.
Passport: $150
Selling pedals: -$140

Boosh.

Even though I'm doing algebra with matrices it hasn't been so bad since I got this:



It saves so much paper. My only complaint is that it's not bigger. It's about 3/4ths the size of a normal sheet of paper and a little extra work space would be much appreciated.

customs post office finally decided I've sent them enough emails to prove that the pedal I got in the mail was originally sent to be repaired and had been paid for in the 2009.

Soon redirect to my local post, without having to pay the 22% VAT again.

So anytime I'm not 5+ minutes early for a class this one guy takes "my" seat. I always sit in the back left corner because I'm left handed and that's usually where the leftie desks are, and it makes me feel secure. But I recently realized that this makes the next available seat next to a cute girl I've been looking for an in to start talking to. I think I'm going to start being late more often.

Also, I pretty much have once again pulled myself from the brink of self-destruction.

Nobody wants go to with me

Just upgraded the knobs on my Pharoah, with pleasing results. Hated those white knobs...
