I got my C414, the microphone I ordered a long time ago, today. When I placed the order, they told me they were back-ordered for three weeks, and when I checked on it about five weeks later, they said it wouldn't be in until the end of june. I was pretty much resigned to never seeing it, and then it just randomly showed up today. I still had to ( Read more... )

In honor of my birthday, the Meat Puppets got back together. Thanks, guys!

Well that sucks.

I got a library card last weekend. That's been pretty exciting. We went last Saturday and earlier today and I pretty much just loaded up on a bunch of country music both times, and some books about country music the first time that I'm still working on. They seem to have a pretty good collection. I found a bunch of stuff that I've either been ( Read more... )

I think I'm pretty much just going to blog exclusively about going to Borders from now on. It's pretty much all I do anyway. I got the new Spin Doctors and Cracker records yesterday ( Read more... )

I did sign up for the Borders rewards thing, and it's pretty much the most exciting thing ever. I want to go to Borders every day now.

Only now there are like four albums I want to get right ( Read more... )

Our neighbor with a good internet connection moved out a few days ago, so the internet is pretty hit or miss lately. It's really fast when it connects, but it doesn't connect that often or for very long. We may break down and actually pay for some kind of high-speed connection, if we ever get around to calling cable and phone companies about it ( Read more... )

So apparently at work today I won $750 pretty much just for being awesome. There was a drawing that I didn't really even know about for shrink and I think general store performance for fourth quarter of last year. Since that basically encompasses my entire job description, it's kind of just a drawing for how good you do your job. I don't know ( Read more... )

I bought a mandolin today, and it seems like everything's pretty much cool with existence now. It's not solely because of the mandolin, but it definitely doesn't hurt. It's a cheap one from Fender, and it's in pack form, like the banjo was, so it comes with treats, like a little lesson book, some extra strings, picks and a strap. And a tuner. If ( Read more... )
