Rave #1: I managed to fix my precious "Blackie" by doing a little trick with some aluminum foil. He even has six intact stings, light guage...super slinky...the ONLY way to go. Trust me. Your fingers will thank you. Rant #1: I STILL can't figure out how to get that little...whatever it is...THING....off of "Matthias!" There is a nice set of the aforementioned strings just waiting for him. I have turned him upside down, sideways, and everything in between trying to figure out how to get that THING off with no success. There has to be a way to do it, but I'll be damned if I can figure it out! Rave #2: I finally got the second part of the scorp-fic completed and posted. Were there a better battery in my laptop, I'd be much farther along. If you'd like to read it so far, click here. Rant #2: I was writing a bit of HTML for a friend of mine who is sorely lacking in those skills. It was a rather amusing Gundam Wing Fan Fic written in script format, so it was quite tedious work putting in all of the line breaks. I lost all of my work at one point, due to the crummy battery in this machine. I finally got done at about 1:00 AM. I saved the file in my writings folder and proceded to my email to send it to my friend. But do I send him the correct file?! Heck, no! I accidentally send him the at that time, incomplete second part of my Scorp-Fic! Rather scary out of context. I'm still not sure if he thinks I'm a deranged loonie now! Rave #3: The Guitar Store is having a big sale on Monday! I want to get a new 12 string... Rant #3: Even though I am SUPPOSED to be on their mailing list, I did not get the notification about the sale. I only learned about it because I deliver mail and several of my customers got the notifications. Doesn't seem too bad until you realize that it's a private sale and you need the little post card thingee to get the special prices! Argh!
