stupid line

I am facing a dilemma. I am in the process of buying a sweet guitar, and today I played my favourite one yet. I can't find the exact picture of it, because it is rather special. But this is close to it.

Imagine silver hardware and block inlays, not dot inlays:


Looks very cool doesn't it? Yes. It fucking is. But there's one thing shit about it isn't it? That stupid line down the middle of it!!! Why does that have to ruin it for me?

Life is just too frustrating.

In other news I have nearly completed my goal of listening to all 20 albums by Tom Waits. That guy's a fucking genius. He has the roughest voice you've ever heard. I think he came to Australia once in the 70's. I doubt he'd come back. Meh.

Here's him playing The Piano Has Been Drinking on some old show:


On Saturday I'm playing bass in a band as part of the Scouts celebrations that are going on around the world at the moment. It's 100 years since Baden Powell started it all. There's gonna be some big show at the South Bank Piazza on Saturday. No doubt you'll see scouts doing skits and singing. Lots and lots of kids singing. I believe you need to pay to see it though. I recommend you save your money for the film festival which shall start soon. The only reason I'm doing this gig is cos I'm getting paid for it. w00t Scouts!
