Gay things that happened today...

1. Got to tafe a half hour late due to the train sitting idle at Flinder Street for 20 minutes. Arrived, only to find trady-looking dudes tearing up my materials science room and a sign on the door saying "Class has been cancelled". Didn't bother waiting until 11am to see if engineering maths was cancelled too (same ( Read more... )

You know what sucks? When you're on your way to work and you've got awesome ideas for a tune to write and you get home, pick up the guitar and realise you've lost it.

Sucks bad. All I remember was that it would have made for an awesome jazz-fusion piece.

EDIT: Chords are down - Simple really. Now to arrange.

EDIT (again): Oh, if there's musicians out there wanting to join the anarchy. Let me know. Bass player and vox needed!

You'd think harmonic minor would be tame to deal with. Fuck.

New guitar pictures are in my myspaz. Nice instrument. The pickups suck balls though; gonna replace them with Seymour Duncan JB and '59 (when I can afford it - cashflow sucks arse at the minute)

Gonna do my computer case's cable management again. My half-arsed attempt that I did when I built it looks shit. Need to route cables between motherboard and its tray and cut a hole beind the mobo itself. I also want to re-sleeve all the cables so they look tidy at least...

Yeah, no one cares. Oh, Spriggan is on SBS. Cool.
