Random notes

I bought these earbuds a while back, and because I have weird ears, they have to go in upside down and reversed in order to fit. This means I have to wear my right earbud in my left ear, and vice versa. I didn't think my ears were so idiosyncratic. Poop.

I wonder if this is going to make me lose directional sense? Will I reach for my eating utensils on my right side while shaking someone's left hand with my own left? Will I start driving on the wrong side of the road insisting that it's the correct side (when it's not)?

So, I've got this cymbal that I've cracked. I swear, if Sabian stops making the AAXplosion line of cymbals (which is a stupid name for as great of a product as it is), I think I may cry. I have about 3 of these things that I've mangled over the years, but was smart about it because this one I purchased a warranty in case it cracked. Well, crack it did! 

I've got this fissure-laden brass alloy cymbal in my car ready for exchange. Except... I have to visit a website first in order for them to give me an exchange/repair order. My happy-ass was ready to go back to Banjo Mart and hurl their cymbal at them in exchange for a newsie. "No, no, no!" You've got to go through the proper channels, son!

Harumph. Now I wait, meanwhile everytime I sit at the drum kit (including the last two times we've recorded drum parts), the main cymbal in my arrangement is missing. Poop.

I also want to get another cymbal rather than the Zildjian Rock Crash that I've been blasting on for the last year. That thing is a BEAST! It's like hitting another ride cymbal, but I only want to use it for effect at this point because it's SO LOUD!!!  I think I'm going to get another AAXplosion (maybe a Zildjian K cymbal)?  I like the AAXplosion line because they have so much character to them. There's this "bwwwaaaaaahhhh" sound that it makes when you hit it, vs. just a "psssshhhh!" sound. Eff that.  I want a different assortment of consonants in my brass set up, rather than just "psssh" "psssh" "pssh" "PSSH"(that was the Rock Crash). It'd be great to have "pssh", "bwaah", "spsh", "klang", "ding"...

Awesome!  I need more $$$ to get all that stuff. Wah. 

Ooooh!  I also am tired (I think I said this before) of having all of my drums on the right side. That sucks! it's like I have to turn my entire body around just to get to the cool heavy drum tones. I mean, either that or I'm weaksauce.

Whatevs, welcome to my two cups of coffee this morning.  Get the hell outta here.  >=|
