Sporadic random stuff that happened over the week:
Papercuts. I had 2, one on each thumb. What's the probability of tt happening? And neither bled. Murphy's Law at work. And the interesting thing is i dun even know how the came abt. I just felt tt my thumb had a burning sensation, and voila, a papercut there. Hmm.
My bro picked up an abandoned Kapok guitar weeks ago, and the nut was cracked. So i decided to try my hand at some D&T and attempted to change the nut. Amazingly, the old nut was glued strongly by some super glue shit. So i wasn't able to extract it out cleanly. It was more of a dig and scratch affair actually. After removing 90% of the old nut, there was this wallop of solid glue on the cavity with some residual plastic from the old nut. So i did some filing on the cavity, and i must say filing is quite fun for a first timer like me. Anyways, after all tt hassle, i realised my new nut couldn't fit into the slot. What a trip.
I finally had my well deserved BJ! Botak Jones u sick bastards! It was good, the double botak burger was really killer. The caesar's was awesome too. Damn good food for damn good price. And the service is top notch. Everyone knows i'm a sucker for service.
I realise tt when i buy things, if they are cheap and insignificant, usually i would not bother to check and measure precisely. I'd just buy and hope it's the one i'm looking for. So far there's 3 objects tt i bought tt belongs to this category: the new nut that is too small for the slot, a foot stool tt i intend to use when playing guitar which was way too short, and a Ikea cd pouch which was really.. Ikea. I think this is an extremely bad habit of mine. So my dear girl, pls stop me next time! Unless i got the measurements right.
Caught Memento (finally) and Scoop (finally too). One's a great film with interesting plot twists, and another one is a film with a girl with great assets. Oh yea and i caught both Ocean's too, though Twelve was kinda weaker compared to Eleven. Nonetheless it sets up Thirteen i believe. Gonna catch it this week.
Self-made banana split is actually quite nice. Especially if u buy those small bananas tt taste alittle sweeter. The only drawback is the limited variety of ice-cream, in fact, u can't really have much variety in ur ice-cream unless u buy 3 different flavours. Or else u are pretty much stuck with whatever u bought. Well it's still good, keeps the missus happy.
Been catching up abit on my guitar lately. Right now i'm kinda back to the level where i was last time, which was to be able to play "Into the Storm". Yea, if i can play tt song, i can play any of my other songs. It's like the benchmark of my ability. Until i write a more technically complex one.
The sole of my favourite pair of sneakers came off. Cleanly. Brought it to the local cobbler (almost forgot this word) and he told me he can't fix it. It's interesting, cos i tot it needed was just some good ol yellow drug-addict glue. Maybe i shld go back to hall and approach the raggers to ask for some dope. Any idea if we can buy yellow glue off the shelves?
Random rant: I dun understand how some people can post so many entries in one day! It's like they spend their whole day in front of the computer chronicling their lives, which just involves sitting in front of the computer the whole day. Weird.
I've been dreaming about work stuff lately. It's disturbing, cos i love my job. Do u dream of stuff becos u love it? Cos i dun really dream about Shirui, my guitar and basketball. It's always random stuff. This is serious shit.
I'm getting a case of back-ache, which i attribute it to my poor sitting posture at work, as well as the poor support in my work shoes. And so my poor guitar-ing posture, which is why i'm kinda converting to the classical playing position. Not tt i feel the difference in playing technique, but it's easier on my back. And most pros are doing it too. So it must be good somehow. Hopefully it really does improve my technique. Then i can dominate the world with my AWESOME guitar-ing m4dskillz.
Ok side tracked. Time to go.
