new year, and I'm already sick

ill that is, I've been trying really hard to keep myself from getting sick, then whammo, it hit me like a truck. Luckily I had the brains to go home from work and sleep it off, instead of staying there watching my computer go to screen saver mode. I wanted to get better for wednesday for our "pretend Band" practice. Which went well, although I think I was still feeling the effects of my ebola and didn't get into it. Plus I've had a real bad guitar week. My Jay Turser Les Paul copy, something isn't working right with the treble pickup switch, that's been at the shop for more than a week, and a guitar I got for Christmas from my "I don't know how she does it when she says I have too many guitars and yet still buys me one cause she knows it's all I want now" wife was broken and had to be sent back. Still waiting on that one.
We are putting our house up on the market this week, so we can have enough $ to put down on our new house which should be ready in March. I hope we can sell it for what we need to, we're really not being over greedy, so hopefully it will sell.
My wife just had an operation that could increase our chances for having a baby, so that's a good thing, she's on vicodin right now and probably asleep.
I'm really getting into guitar a lot, but I have noticed that if you don't challenge yourself and try something new, whether it be a song, a riff, new scale, or whatever, you keep playing the same things and it gets old. Currently I'm trying to master the blues scale, then some chuck berry licks, and yet more Zeppelin. There are so many new chords you can learn by playing any Zeppelin acoustic songs it's crazy.
Saw King Kong, I loved it, but alas, still not as good as my favorite movie of all time, the 1933 version. And yes I wept... I always do at the original.
No real big movies I'm looking forward to, everything now seems to be a remake. I have a script I'm finally dabbling in, if I can rip myself away from music for a moment I may get a page or two written...
Is it me or is it way sexy when Meg White of the White Stripes Drums??
Things I will buy this year:
A new Vox amplifier, or get my Carvin 2X12 fixed
A Epiphone Les Paul Ultra (if Nancy Wilson endorsed it I'd buy poop flavored gum)
Eraserhead on dvd (to finally see what the fuss was)
hmmm, I'm not being that greedy. Well It will take a while to save up for the Les Paul, so..
One thing I noticed today while waiting in the outpatient surgery waiting room, if u look like you're not really concerned, and just casually read a book like you're waiting for a plane, I think it eases others minds. I did that today, and it seemed that worried kin kind of relaxed after they saw me.. Or maybe That's what I'd like to think, at least.
