return...kind of
i don't know what made me decide to come back to this, but i just thought i'd do it and look at all the crap i wrote here. amusing.
school and work pretty much blow. i've decided i don't want to be an accountant, but i'm not sure what i want to do. i'm probably going to quit rich's by the end of this semester. i think i'm gonna try to get a job at home of the hits or maybe some other record store, but i really don't know for sure. the woman who owns hoth offered me a job last year right after i'd accepted the rich's internship, and i so would have taken it and already be working there if it weren't for me thinking i wanted to be an accountant. my decision to not become an accountant was a product of both my becoming so dissatisfied with my internship at rich's and my hating all of my accounting classes. i'd been getting really depressed and i finally settled on the fact that, if i kept trying to "tough it out" or wait for the moment when i'd start getting interested in accounting (which was/is never ever going to happen), i might seriously kill myself. so yeah, that's that. i might go to grad school for finance or something if i get desperate, but i'm just not sure where i'm going with my life at this point. it still worries me, but just making some sort of decisive choice on the matter has made me feel better.
i'm playing with mike on march 8 at kitchen distribution (where i played with karl, mike, and roddy as Karl Hohn and The Ultimate Robotic Orchestra opening for The Robot Ate Me). brian and millhouse are also playing with us. we're opening for Aloha. that should be really great. we recorded one song at brian's over christmas break, and i think it turned out sounding really really good. so that's exciting.
what else...
oh yeah. i "won" a boss tr-2 on ebay earlier tonight. it was my first time winning/buying anything on ebay. that was exciting for a little while. i'll get excited again when it actually gets delivered to me. i also need to get cymbals from ebay, but i guess i've just been putting it off because i don't want to spend the money, even though i know i'm going to have to eventually. i got drums a few days before christmas, and i still need to get all the hardware and cymbals (vintage zildjians, as per mike's recommendation). i don't even have sticks yet. i'll get on that soon enough. i also want to get an mxr distortion + pedal (mike has one, and i used it for the song we recorded over break--it gave the bass a really nice fuzz) and an old japanese boss dd-3, even though i have a dd-6. i want the dd-3 because i want the option of cutting out the delay when i turn off the pedal as opposed to it trailing off like it does with late model dd-3s and all subsequent boss delay pedals (dd-5 and dd-6).
but now i have to go do homework.
