Running Around On Empty

Happy Birthday to my sister. And Happy Birthday from Sunday to my friend Kathy.

Back to work day to me. Still feeling generally tired, but not sure if that's just psychological ~ as I didn't feel too bad yesterday, although I wasn't exactly zipping around full of jumping beans...

My guitar amp has come home after weeks away at the doctor. Picking it up from the great guys at Music 101, it was proven (yet again) how dangerous it can be for me to enter a guitar shop. Apart from paying a few hundred for the amp repair, I also bought a pickup for my steel resonator guitar & a host of accessories & sundries that I'm sure I'll need... some day... Now all I need is the time to sit down with my repaired amp, my serviced guitar arsenal, my BlueBox of effects & reconstruct my guitar sounds.

Which won't happen this week ~ my dance card for the next 6 days & nights is full.

Did someone say 'tired'??

The Cultural Imperialism Cringe

For a nation built on the backs of Englands criminal working class, which likes to think it's come so far, I present the evidence to the contrary...

News stories like this & this drive me to despair. I just don't know where to begin trying to understand the breakdown of South-Western (Sydney) civilisation.

It's things like this that make me think of applying the ancient Romans Carthage solution to Sydney's south-west. Burn it down, salt the earth, scatter the populace...
