I won! I won! I won!

Yay!

Last night I went to the Grand Re-Opening of the Sam Ash music store where my brother works, and as part of the celebration they were giving away several guitars, basses, and various other musical instruments.


Well…I WON one of them! I won a $900 Epiphone Acoustic Masterbilt DR-500R. It's made of solid Rosewood on the back and sides, and a solid Sitka Spruce top with a natural satin finish. It's easily the nicest thing I've ever won in my life and I'm thrilled to bits.


You can see the model I won here:

So today I am just a little less pessimistic. I am dreadfully behind on reviews of things, though so please bear with me. (sound of crickets chirping)

oh yeah. I forgot. No one’s reading this!

Yelp!

Well I have thoughts on the Lost finale and more of series 4 of Doctor Who I'll post shortly. First, the reason why I haven't done so yet is because I am actually still recovering from a horrible stomach virus last weekend (and now my little man has it too). I had to go to the ER and have six bags of IV fluid last Monday, and am still not up to 100%. I haven't been that sick in a long time, and let me tell you it was unexpected and very unpleasant. Still - better now and almost back to normal.

In other news, I joined Yelp! which is a site for reviews of things in your city - shops, restaurants, what have you - just for fun. I will try and contribute both places and see what happens. I think the URL is simply yelp.com, but I'll have to get back to you on the specific link for my site.
