New job is awesome! Guess I'll be able to support my family and send my kids to college after all.

However, the next morning, I realized that I didn't have my ipod. Shit. Turns out I'd dropped it outside, where we were partying, in the rain. Sadface.

Found it, and it was DOA. Tears were spent. Souls were crushed.

Googled the bag of rice trick. Incredibly skeptical, I figured I'd try it. Sealed that shit up on Sunday evening. Just pulled the 'pod out today and plugged it into my Ipod dock-y thing...

AND IT FUCKING WORKS!

Way to be bro. I'd say it would have been a small price to pay...but it's always good to avoid paying the drunk tax if possible.

Also, pics or it didn't happen.

i have VH-1's Metal Mania Weekend on in the background, and they're playing Megadeth's cover of "Astronomy Domine," which is really peculiar if only for its relative fealty to the original.

It looks like I got the second job I interviewed for.

It's such a relief knowing that I might actually be able to afford to move, if I can save money like MAD.

Man that is fuckin badd ass mann... I really like the noisy noises... :!!!:



Thanks dude! I'm pretty proud of how this turned out. It stemmed from me wondering if I could play that lead line with my 2525...and I could. So, I just went from there. The drum beat is actually me beating on my roommate's guitar. He made a cheap tele an Esquire, and then put a contact mic underneath the pickguard. So, I just looped that, since I don't have a drum machine. The noise was actually really fun to add.

Holy shit, how much do you smoke? Or, are cigarettes that expensive?


$7.50ish a pack up here. I rolled my own, so that was anywhere from $30-$55 every three weeks for a tin, depending on where I was buying.

Stuck up in B-town son! I think it was $5.50 a pack at the tobacco place on Church St.

I haven't felt this alive in a long time :) had an amazing night with my friend... it looks as if she was rather interested in hanging out with me
