It's a little dangerous that this is the sight I see every time I exit the train station to walk home. A Guitar Center walking distance from my apartment - not quite a good thing. I had actually planned on going there today. I wanted to buy a new audio interface. I wanted to look at guitars and basses. I plan on getting these instruments as I haven't touched any for years. And I'm afraid I'm going to have to learn to use them all over again. But the plan failed as I had one of those weekend long headaches again. What's up with that? Keeps happening more and more lately. I had to sleep it off. Now it's late in the evening and there's not much to do.

So Friday (I'm going backwards), I wanted to get off at Union Square and do a little CD shopping and get a hair-cut. But that didn't go either as I was having some awful pains coming from my left foot and legs.

So is this the pattern? Every time I think of shopping, I get all these pains keeping me from going. The result of the pains that came on my left foot was from hanging out at Toys R Us the previous evening, shopping for toys for Santa letters that we get in our office for underprivileged children and toy drive. I had stopped buying my niece and nephews gifts in favor of this sometime ago. They get plenty of stuff. I'd rather give to those that really need it, even though I don't know who they are.

I'm watching Cartoon Network right now. Assy McGee - That's some twisted shit, right there. Yeah, I'm laughing my ass off.

Hey there V, glad you're feeling better. I'd love to get a guitar and a bass myself, and lots of effects pedals but I'd have to win the lotto first. Anyhow, Assy McGee--never heard of it but just the name sounds funny. Stuff like that makes me wish I had cable, then I realize I'm saving fifty bucks a month and don't feel so bad. Anyhow, that's very kind of you to do what you're doing with the drive and all. Hope you have an excellent holiday season!!!

Steve, I'm obessed with getting a guitar now. It's on my mind like 24/7. I'm doing research, but a good friend of mine who's a pro with guitars is going to talk to me about which ones are good for me. I'm excited about the whole thing. Hey there's a guitar in everyone's price range so maybe you don't need to win the the lotto. And you have Garageband so you just a get an audio interface and use your Garageband effects with your axe.

I know what you're saying about cable. Too many times I think about canceling it but I can't bring myself to do it.

Here's to you and a great holiday! Enjoy and be safe!

Visiting music stores is so dangerous, but even more so is checking out eBay.

I got a new drum kit and a snare drum (this one I got on eBay). I'll post pictures when I get the chance.
