Yesterday was a pretty good day! I bought me this crazy crazy guitar accessory, it's this thing from the 60's (a quick web search seems to show that the one i got is either from 1964 or 1967. I have a few links to pictures and sound files of the thing at my pitas page) called a "Maestro Rhythm 'N Sound for Guitar" that's really crazy. You don't need to care about guitars to appreciate it, the thing about it is that it does some normal guitar effects, like distortion and echo, but then it also has this crazy thing where you can make bongo (or hi-hat or some other percussion instruments) noises whenever you hit a note too. So like, you'll be playing some song that goes "beep beep beep weee" but instead of just you guitar going "beep beep beep weee" there will also be a bongo drum going "tick tick tick tick" at the exact same, this creating what musicologists call a "beeptick beeptick beeptick weeetick" effect. So anyway, yeah, basically I'm just having a lot of fun playing with it. Beep beep weeeeee!
Also, I ate me some Burger King yesterday, and I still cannot understand how McDonald's is still in business. Burger King food is just so much better it's stupid. The difference between the two is hardly worth comparing really, they're not even in the same league. It's not even like comparing apples and oranges, it's like comparing apples and getting punched in the face (the main difference of course being that apples are a delicious treat, and getting punched in the face just really hurts). I think Burger King needs some freaky mascot to compete with that dirty old clown.
I got like no good sleep tonight, as my last entry sort of explains, I think I'm going to go eat me some breakfast and then possibly either:
- write an eggpost
- fall asleep
- play with the new guitar thing a while, and possibly make an mp3 of it.
- enjoy a heartwarming and educational episode of Little House on the Prairie
Only time will tell which I choose! Stay tuned for an update later today.
