Wow. Cleaned up the whole living room and Bathroom….wondering about the kitchen, but don’t think it’s gonna happen (I hate washing dishes, ugh. And they’re not even my dishes to wash! argh). But the living room and bathroom are all cleaned. Looks really nice too. =P Ahhhhh, I’m tired.

current mood: tired

Blearg. Time for a reformat of this old system. My HD has been acting up ever since I bought it, so it’s about time that I chunk this sucker and reformat. Hopefully it’ll fix all the problems. =) If not, grrrr, maybe it’s the video card I have.
Been backing up all my files today with my burner. My audio recordings took up 3 cds!!!!! insane, course it’s all still .wav files and huge amounts of them. I put them on the D: drive too, so I shouldn’t lose them, but if I do, oh well, whatever.

More cleaning to do today, whooopie, hehe.

current mood: satisfied

Wow, nice product they have (avalon). Unfortunately they don’t have one in stock (not that I would buy one right now), but it certainly was nice. It riches the tones of the higher strings, but also the low strings, and everywhere…dunno really how to describe it, but I like it. Hopefully maybe I’ll get one this summer. =)

Hrm, ok, here goes my nice weekend update. Wow, college people are back! Justin and Clifford got back on Friday Night, Mel came back on Saturday night. I hung out with Cliff on Saturday, and went to go see The Mummy Returns with Lisa, and Ryan. It was an entertaining movie, but had to pay 10$ at the parking lot, but that’s ok, since Lisa got us in for free at AMC 1000 Van Ness, hehehe.
I’m looking to use my LuteHole soundcover. If anyone has a gig for me to do with monitors, lemme know, hehehe. Also picked up a volume pedal today, an Ernie Ball. It’s pretty cool, it’ll be used with my whole worship ministry stuff, which is getting pretty big…Went to Guitar Center wanting to get that volume pedal and also try out that Avalon U5, but it was towards closing and not too many workers, so they told me to come during the week in the morning and try it out. so I may go do that tommorrow or something, hehehe. I really want one. Oh yeah, Darrel from my church might be able to get me a 30% discount wholesale price on it. Ahhhh, the love and the hook ups, amen!
That was about it for the weekend, other than hanging out with the YG kids too, and leading worship friday and doing worship today…lotta worship, and that’s what I love, Peace.

Brent brought up a good point today in a reply that Musicianfriend sells then (at 539$, eeeep) but with a 45-day return policy. Course I would have to pay the shipping back…but I think I’ll wait until summer to buy one, ahhhh. Then all next year it’ll be doing camps and such and ministry to pay it off? lol. Anyways, it was kind of funny that Brent mentioned Musician’s Friend, cuz I just bought some stuff from them today and it was delivered today. Bought two more keyser capos, a 10$ (nice thou) tamborine, and a LuteHole Soundhole cover. www.kyser.com and www.lutehole.com
LuteHole’s are really cool. They fit into your soundhole and block out most of the feedback that happens when you have monitors facing you and your guitar coming through the monitor. Extremely helpful for myself, because I love the sound of my Taylor’s OnBoard Blender system, where it uses an internal mic, but it’s a big hassel to try and get to work with monitors. Now I can do it easily, ahhhhh. The only problem was that I messed up the order and got a darker colored LuteHole. I wanted the maple, but I forgot to change which one I wanted on the site, and ordered a Cherry Wood, which is about the color of Claro Walnut or Cedar.
Looks like no updates for a few days while I’m up in San Francisco for church this weekend, unless I log on via my parent’s computer. Have fun reading more of this stuff.

Ohhhhhhmygosh, I want one of these Avalon U5 DI Boxes. Shane Barnard uses one and it makes soooooooo much of a difference. I want to try to go to Guitar Center tommorrow and check out how it sounds and everything. The retail cost on it is 595$!!!! Maybe one day when I’m rich I’ll get one, lol. Or all of you reading this can someday get me one for my birthday…it’ll just take like…..40 of you chipping in like 20$ each….like that’ll ever happen, hahah. Oh well I can always dream.
AACF went well today, small meeting since everything’s gearing up for the Finals….oops, I said the F word…lol. But small intimate time.

current mood: envious

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention over the weekend I put up a cool winamp Shoutcast Server at http://64.81.57.221:8000/ Give it a listen. It’s 24/7 praise and worship (well when it’s up, which is most of the time, except maybe weekends). I don’t have a very big play list right now (only about 10 hours) because about a month ago now, I did something stupid and my hard drive with my 3 and a half gigs of worship mp3s got wasted. =( Ahh well, it’ll be back (or half back) soon…. Enjoy the stuff on the shoutcast server.

current mood: enthralled
current music: Shane Barnard! he rocks! hehe
