so yin/yang can kill ya?
Friday was a LOONNNGGG effin’ day…a VERY bad day at the arts and crafts store—SOME of that is my fault…I suppose because I took the job in the first place, it’s ALL my fault…Yet again I strongly suspect I will be gone soon…I knew I was “seasonal” when they hired me…the only thing I’ll miss is the money…on the other hand,it was a very good day at Tenleytown (the janitor job) because 1) I had a reduced workload (compared to Tues/Thurs) and 2) lotsa people haven’t been around this week (the holidays?) to generate the trash I collect…
and more good stuff…in part (I think) because the “roomie” likes to shop, even if it’s not for herself, I/we bought a fender blues junior amp !!! It’s coming from a Guitar Center store in New Jersey…She did the research, etc. and paid for it herself–OF COURSE I will pay her back (soon) while I still have about $700 in the Bank…what I DON’T know about it is what color/finish it is–she said she kinda remembers it was “tan”; that’s actually called “tweed” and that would be really cool IMO…as long as it’s not turquoise or orange or pink–they DO exist, but not in large numbers (I hope)…
I dunno fer sure but I THINK the food stamps are in jeopardy if not over with–apparently the powers that be know about my 2nd job, but I’ll bet they dunno it’s seasonal AND likely to end soon…As of this morning I AM on the schedule for January; dunno WTF that means… the pendulum between bad stuff and good stuff is swinging back and forth so fast it hurts…trying to stay focused on the good stuff, for instance–
My new amp is a used Blues Junior II, older than a III, but newer than the original, which I think was first introduced in 1995…I should have it way before the time of the Reverbs gig (Jan 11) and I could be rid of the NOT “bus-worthy” amp sitting in the basement by then as well…I’d like to try out my “new” amp before the gig but I don’t think I’ll be able to…MSR has a gig Jan 4, if there’s an open mic at the AmerLegion that night, I won’t be there…I DID go there last night, to try out my new stompbox…it’s an overdrive/distortion unit…I have ’til Jan 31 to decide whether I like it or not…If I don’t, I can take it back for a full refund…I think I’ll be able to keep it…It sounded “close” thru the amp I used last night so I suspect it will sound “right on” thru the Blues Junior…If not I’ll go to Plan B–whatever that is…
