so the bass amp went back to guitar center today . . . I'm a little beat up about it too - I miss it :{(> that's my face with a frown and a mustache and a soul patch - whatdoyouthink? Improvement ideas on the prototype are welcome. I want to ask the cool cat at guitar gallery what he uses for bass gear - he seemed pretty knowledgeable and said that he plays a little bass too. . . soooo - I looked up the fender eminence cabs from guitar center and they had a 4x10 and a 1x15 - - - priced at $399 and $299 respectively - so know I'm wondering what the deal is with in store returns of purchases made online - does guitar center offer this? if that is the case then I wouldn't have to spend the time and money shipping it back to the warehouse for them if I don't like it - also the bassman 150 that I got for $399 instore was $450 online which makes me wonder if they inflate prices online so they can claim that there is free shipping - so I wonder if they special ordered the 1 x 15 cab from the store if it would be any cheaper - probably not - probably not - and I'm thinking that they probably wouldn't honor in store returns on special orders now would they? although they are usually pretty cool with me though today the store was crazy and people were pissy. I have to look and see if my little berihinger has the capability to run an external cab - I think it might I can't remember. . .
I played a rainsong acoustic because I'm tired of dealing with this arizona driness and it killing my acoustic guitars - - - those guitars are entirely made of graphite with a composite fretboard and bridge. It sounded alright, maybe a little dark, although that's to be expected and doesn't bother me much. Also I bought some guitar picks and a grover snake humidifier - - - the humidifier is pretty cool if you hit the strings with it intact it makes a funky sitar sound. There were some metalheads giving me the evil eye and some ugly vibes in the establishment so I got the fuck out of there. But I want to buy the cab from guitar center if I decide to buy it because they offer a cool warranty on fender amps.
In other news I found a little scorpion in the garage and it's now my precious little pet. A little scary to some of you ladies I'm sure although it's completely awesome I assure you. Scorpions are one of natures most long lasting and durable designs, and have survived on this planet for 500 million years. They used to be giant three foot long under sea creatures before they evolved into land dwelling arachnids. So I made the little bugger a little cage out of a cd spindle and have been feeding him crickets. He's quite the fascinating predator - his name is ziggy.
-------------- I used to breed leopard geckos when I was finshing my undergrad at Kean and held a job at a pet store eventually becoming the reptile and arachnid expert. Having ziggy is opening doors for me because I'm not obsessively trying to do everything insanely cautiously (I'm very cautious in dealing directly with ziggy just not with his food - the crickets) knowing that ziggy is one of the hardiest creatures that has ever existed. So it has allowed me to more liberally feed the crickets just some food and vegetables around the house and I'm actually making myself better food because of it. It's just cricket food, you know, and I'm applying that to my own diet because I did such a nice job at it, didn't make a big deal out of it, and it was fun.
For example, tonite I sauteed some boneless skinless chicken breast that I cut into strips following the grain of the muscle of the chicken. I did this in a little olive oil in a non stick walk. It wound up being super easy. Then I made the salad I used a bag of prewashed romaine, an entire green washington apple cut into super thin slices, some strawberries, and green peppers. I didn't have a dressing that would go well with that so I made one using maple syrup, rasberry jelly (no seeds), apricot jelly, apple cider vinegar, and a little olive oil. threw it all together and it was delicious. it's just cricket food right? One thing that I should mention is I learned that it would make more sense to put the salad together before you deal with the chicken and just throw it in the fridge so you don't have to worry about salmonella contamination in the salad and you can just keep chicken preparation isolated into as short time frame and as simple a clean up as possible.
I have been applying a similar principle with art and music - delve into it like it's just a doodle or a noodle - and if you become fascinated with it, and I think you will - expand out from there - it's more fun that way anyway - and that's why we do it if I remember correctly.
seeing that this trend is working for me I should probably apply it more to dating. I'd like to find someone that I really like to spend time with, I really would - - - there was just dreadlock girl - but her dreads were so itchy and her armpits smelled and I was reminded of Howlin' Wolf singing - I better leave you woman before I commit a crime - plus she's a jesus freak - than there was the topless dancer that I met at starbucks - I thought that I liked her but then she got upset at something that happened at work and just couldn't get off it - - - and went into a tantrum that she wanted to drink a shit ton of alcohol and drown herself to sleep completely freaking out - and that scared me pretty good - her names sara - she's still in my phone but dreadlock girl has been deleted.
I quit smoking again for 2 weeks and I'm on the patch and feel good - I want to ween the patch all the way off as recommended so it's the least shock to my system and I will be less prone to panic and learn a new addiction.
guess that's it - comments are welcome - my wrists hurt from typing.
