Awesomeness
I talked to the advisor of CS, Barbara Hightower, and she says there are no problems with me declaring CS this semester. There is an 80 unit cap (to declare) that seemed to get into the way, but it turns out that was introduced in Fall '04. I started Fall '03. So in other words.. I'm going to declare the CS major at 148 units. Awesome. Currently I'm a double major; I would switch to just CS so I don't have to take any more lab, but unforunately it's after the pass/fail date, so it wouldn't matter. I can still drop the major next semester. If I do, I have to take 1 breadth class as opposed to 3 tech classes and a breadth...
Guitar center
Me and Anthony went to Guitar center on Friday. I spent $100. I bought a guitar stand, a pop filter, and a cable. Yes, that was $100. I was quite the asshole when I bought my guitar stand. I wanted a very specific model, the one I got over summer, which is a two leg A frame model with locking neck support. It's so hard to find, it's not even on the guitarcenter.com website. It's very sturdy, won't rock even if a Les Paul (mine is 11.5 lbs - I measured yesterday) is dropped onto it, and the neck suppoprt has this locking retainer thing that assures you the guitar won't drop out. It fits acoustics and electrics fine, and takes up a lot less space then a three leg tripod version. In other words, it's perfect. I waited 30 minutes while the guy tried to find it. After he failed (I sent him back 3 times - I'm such an asshole), we had the epiphany of looking up my purchase history. We finally checked every single store in WA to find the one I spent most of my time at last summer, then we had to look up every purchase I made there, because I couldn't remember when I bought it. I was a little scared to see that about every two weeks I was spending $100~ there. There were also a couple $1k+ purchases. Expensive hobby, music... Anyway, eventually we find the exact model number and I get my stand. We retreat to KFC for KFC snackers, which were quite good. Processed chicken, ahhh.
