What have I been up to lately?
- Working a lot (typically 10-12 hours on weekdays, 2-6 on weekends)
- Playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl (I'm trying to finish it up 100%. I have almost everything except one sticker (and as a result, one trophy) just stupid little things that randomly appear and I have to find because I'm such a completion whore)
- Skating (I've skated twice for 2.5 and 4 hours...VERY sore afterward)
- Considering buying a bandsaw (will make cutting things much easier. Considering a 10inch benchtop Jet)
- Spending time with Erin where I can (most weekends, we just lounge around. It's nice to just relax)
- Thinking a lot about building a guitar neck. I'm trying to plan everything out as far as I can, so there won't be many surprises. The first attempt will be just a one piece neck from a 2x4. If I can make something that looks decent out of that, I'll move onto something functional. I'll route it for a truss rod, but probably won't spend the $10 on that, unless the neck just looks really good.
I've been listening to lots of different music right now. Going back to late high-school and listening to some punk. Flogging Molly, Gogol Bordello, The Dropkick Murphys and Rancid (and whatever Pandora decides sounds like them). I've been listening to some rap that Pandora Radio defines as having "boastful lyrics" and "dancable beats" Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, and a bunch of stuff like that. Then I've also been listening to the Pandora Radio stations I've seeded with Neutral Milk Hotel, Daniel Johnston, The Mountain Goats, Two Gallants and a few others.

Two posts in one day...
Also, that woman who had 8 kids recently. She's a total idiot. Not just because I don't personally want kids -- she already had 6, no job or reasonable way to pay for the kids she already had. Selfish bitch.
The most appalling thing I've seen, though, is when she was asked how she planned to provide for the kids and she said, "I'm providing myself to my children. I'm loving them unconditionally, accepting them unconditionally, everything I do. I'll stop my life for them and be present with them and hold them and be with them. And how many parents do that?"
Maybe money can't buy you love, but love can't replace money when it comes to putting food in your stomach.
If she had them through IVF as she claims, the doctor who implanted them is a douchebag too. Absolutely NO reason for more than one or two to be implanted.
Why are people so fucking stupid?

Holy shit!
A rat just came up through the upstairs toilet.
I went upstairs to eat my breakfast (my usual morning routine) and it smelled like rat piss. I was worried that there was a rat hiding somewhere pissing up the place, so I followed my nose, so to speak. I found my way to the little half bathroom we have up here...lifted the toilet lid to find that it was empty. This toilet slowly drains and we don't really use it (sometimes I do if I don't feel like going downstairs to piss, but it's just a small toilet and it's awkward to sit on, so deuce is out of the question. There was no water in it and the smell seemed to be coming from there so I thought maybe it was just the post-toilet pipes stinking up the place...so I flushed the toilet. As it was filling up, a rat came right up through the drain.
I closed the lid and tried to find something to pick it up with and at least get it out of the house (I didn't want to smash it in the toilet or anything dramatic like that). I got a box and some packing material my monitor came in to wrap around my hand to try to usher it into the box...however, when I opened the lid, it fucking dove down the hole. I waited for a bit and just decided to flush it. I flushed twice...closed the lid. It's been about 15 minutes...I don't think they can hold their breath for that long.
What the fuck.
I hope it didn't die. I feel bad killing stuff like that. I feel more like, "You don't have to die, you just can't live here." However, I didn't have the time to sit around waiting for it to come back up (if it would....) Not only that, but I don't wan to potentially get sick if it bit me.
