I’m pretty tired right now, having stayed up way, way, WAY past my bedtime last night. I didn’t even get home until about 1AM, and then I felt compelled to watch a certain football game that I’d recorded while I was out. I only made it ’til halftime (guess I’ll have to watch the rest this morning – which ought to bore Granny to tears), but I still didn’t get to bed until about 3:00, and then I was up at six. Not that I’m complaining, mind you. It was nice to see Floyd Little at halftime (I don’t think I’ve seen him “in person” since I was about 5 years old), and the game wasn’t half bad either. It will be at least a few days before my voice comes back. <\/p>\n
Good thing I had yesterday off and got some stuff done, ‘cuz I’m thinking I won’t be good for much today. Especially since I managed to drop the mower deck on my foot (my “bad” foot, too – though, if it wasn’t the bad one before, it sure as hell is now). Fortunately, I took my typical safety precautions and was wearing a pair of sneakers instead of, like, work boots. <\/p>\n
As if that wasn’t enough, I managed to somehow hurt the ankle on the other leg. This getting old shit blows.<\/p>\n
So I think maybe today I’ll just have to hang out and not play my new guitar. Yes, I bought an electric one as kind of a birthday present for myself (and, no, it isn’t actually my birthday, so no need to send presents – unless you’re bound and determined to, in which case, I’ll post a link to my Amazon Wish List). In fact, I bought a very cheap Fender knockoff “kit,” complete with a practice amp, picks, strap, and a “gig bag” that will be nice when I go on tour. The most important thing, of course, is that it has a whammy bar. I’ve removed the label that proudly identified it as be “handcrafted in China” (made from the finest melamine, no doubt). So now I guess I need to buy a wah-wah pedal, envelope filter (so I can sound like Jerry Garcia), and maybe a fuzzbox. And a bigger amp. <\/p>\n
If I could actually play, I would be totally<\/em><\/strong> awesome. <\/p>\n But for now, I think I need more coffee (and then go add a wah-wah pedal, fuzzbox, envelope filter, and bigass amp to my Amazon Wish List). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m pretty tired right now, having stayed up way, way, WAY past my bedtime last night.
