So...the new Motorolla ROKR has come out. I have known about this phone for about a couple weeks but I have had to keep my mouth shut about it because I signed a non-disclosure agreement and this directly fell under the agreement. The phone is a hubrid of a phone and iPod. It can hold something like 100 songs on it. It's an okay phone. Kind of pointless for me because I already have an iPod and I prefer to have a lot more than just 100 songs on it...so I will stay with my Sony Ericsson that stomps all over the ROKR. So, for kicks, my Mum and I went into a Cingular store today and played stupid and asked all about the phone and then said 'Thanks...we have to go see a movie' and walked out. After knowing what they have to say for a secret shopper, the guy did not do all that good.

Then we went into Best Buy where I (finally) got the Firefly DVD set. I realize that so many of my friends haven't seen anything of Firefly and Serenity is comming out at the end of the month. I watched the first episode with my Mom and I forgot how good it was. I remembered all the good lines. I know I have to sit down Elle and make her watch some of the episodes. There are some amazing ones.

I also practiced today for the first time in a week or so. Yeah...that was interesting. I sucked ass really. I think some of it may have been that my house was a bit cold this morning and my hands weren't all the way warmed up, despite me doing my exercises. But I really know that it was mostly from me not practicing. Very bad.

I have been watching some random music video's on Launch right now and 'Love?' from Strapping Young Lad came up. First thing that caught me about this video, aside from the fact that I had heard about this band, was the fact that the video is a mass cameo of the Evil Dead movies. Very cool. Then I started listening to the music. Really good stuff. Devin Townsend can really sing. He screams a lot, but the choruses are awesome. I will need to check out some of this stuff.

It was interesting playing today. Despite me not playing well, I still felt okay about it. I of course was practicing on Carmilla becuase she is my main guitar. After I played all of my exercises and scales and all of that other stuff, I immediatly picked up my Explorer (Helga) and started playing on that. It was so weird. The guitars have a different body shape, yes, but the Explorer just didn't feel right. I played for maybe a minute or two, then hung up Helga and went back to Carmilla. I have no idea what it is, but I prefer the looks even more.

I don't know...what do you guys think?



I have found their uses though. Helga is really only for rhythm. It really isnt even good to play her live becuase of the way she hangs on your body...very neck heavy. Carmilla is amazing for solo's. Her rhythm sound could be tweaked a bit. I want to put a EMG 60A pickup in her, which will fatten up the rhythm sound.

I am hungry...I want some corndogs. I think I will go and warm some up.
