I was getting my muskets cleaned when came this rumbling from the deep

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.
