my fingers are fat.

I thought it was kinda funny that the only things in my bag on Thursday were my netbook and a stack of comics (bagged and boarded, of course). Reading comics in public is a good way to ward off girls with fake tans and dudes with Affliction t-shirts.

In other news...I started playing the ukulele (which I still have to spell check btw) sometime last year. I've written a few songs with it but somehow always seem to forget to play it. My goal this summer is to get good-as-hell at the uke and play for money at the farmers market. Fingers crossed.

finally

So, I finally got around to setting up my turntable. It's an old Technics SL-D2 from the 80's and is in pretty good shape. I bought it from an old man who used to come into my work all the time when I lived in Helena. He also sold me a Kenwood KA-5700 integrated amp/tuner and a JVC graphic equalizer, all for only $100. The turntable sounds good but there is an annoying buzz that is a result of shitty phono cables, which means I have to pull them out and replace them (here's hoping my soldering skills are decent). All in all I'm pretty pleased with the setup.

real life Pokemon

It's actually a Red Panda. I want one.



They are talking about how they "gotta catch 'em all." I like the part where the panda stands and everyone flips out. Nerds.

auto-tune the news

c'mon...it's kinda funny.
