I got payed today!!! WOO HOO!! Before I tell THAT story, I'm going to talk about Tuesday. It was my day off. Well... sorta. I kinda felt like not going to work on Tuesday, so I called in sick. It was a good day because I got to sleep. I also went to the mall and scoped out the cost of a game cube. CLEAN! It payed off well, because I came out of it well rested. YAH! I guess that was kinda pointless.

Since that's taken care of... Today was sweet! I got payed (I already said it, I know.) and I bought some stuff. What kind of stuff do you ask? Well, I can tell you... but as usual, pictures speak louder than words.

First off I bought a new skin for my 12" tom. I'll show you what the old one looked like first...



Like I said, the pictures speak volumes more... The damn skin was over 2 years old, and it finally gave out on me yesterday while I was practicing. Oh well, it was put to good use. Now, you can see my tom with the new skin on it...



It looks so fresh. It took FOREVER to tune it to the right pitch. I ended up tuning my low tom too, so now it sounds good again! Hurray!

RANDOM PICTURE OF MY DRUMSET!




While I was at musicstop, I also decided to purchase a pair of drumsticks and a 'G' Bass String. You can see them in the following picture!(the box for the skin is in the back)



After I toodled around a bit in musicstop, I made a trip down to Bedford place to see Danielle and pick up a couple CD's. It was a good time. I managed to pick up Depeche Mode's "The Singles 81>85" and The Flaming Lips's "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots". I've already listened to both CD's before, but it's awesome to have them on hand to listen to whenever I want. I just finished listening to the DM, and it sounds just as good as I thought it would. That would denote that I'm currently listening to The Flaming Lips album right now. It's pretty good so far, and I'm only through the beginning of the second song. AWESOME. Here's some proof that I actually bought the albums...





COOL!

Speaking of albums, I LOVE the new modest mouse album. It's really good. At least, that's what I think. Some of the tracks just blow me away. I like "The Ocean Breathes Salty", "Bury Me With It", "Float On", "The World At Large", and "The View" the most. It's hard for me to pick a favorite song off the album yet, but as you can see I'm narrowing down my options. I also really like the artwork on the album. It's pretty cool. Check it out...

Before I go, here are 2 random pictures of my workplace...





I guess I'm done. I thought I could only make good posts after a weekend. I'm surprised. Tomorrow, I'm hanging out with Danielle, and then on Saturday... downtown.

'Why?', you ask? Well, if Chris hasn't told you already, his old roommate John is coming down for some reason, and he's wants to go downtown with us. CRAZY! So I plan on being very jimmied at the least... On Sunday, I'm going to a HUGE family BBQ at my Nanny's place. It's going to be NUTS! Everyone on my dad's side of the family is going to be there, including some uncles I haven't seen since I was like... 11 or 12. Crazy. It'll be a good time. I think that will conclude my rather large close-to-end-of-the-week post. (Some might say an 'uber-sized post')As usual...
GFY,
Tony I
