I'm going to start posting things a bit more here.
My latest idea is to invest £100 and play the stock markets during this turbulant time - see how much i can make or lose in a week.
Personal update:
Still whoring myself to Tribalwars.net on world 32 - bit of a time bitch but i love it.
oh, passed my driving theory test, no big achievement though, how anyone could fail that is beyond me.
more to come

Squire soloist project - wrap up
Hello, it's been a while.
With minimal use of the term 'Total Failure' I will conclude the squire soloist project... for now (queue dramatic music)
OK first of all, the paint. My initial idea - please bear in mind i am far from a competent painter - was to have a blood red translucent coat over a black base. That did not work as intended, the result was this ghastly pink splotchy mess that when lacquered turned into this sickly Burgundy. You may be thinking, 'it's just a bad colour, not that bad.' if you where thinking that, oh how wrong you are. Due to the cold temperatures in which i decided to paint the finish was more or less diabolical - the lacquer might as well have been sand painted onto the body in a mixture of vomit and viscera.
all in all, Total Failure in the paint department.
Electronics... Partial failure, I'm not sure why it's not working as intended but it could be a combination of factors. parts work and some parts don't - it can be played - but not played well.
i lost heart to explain the failure in the electronics department, there are many factors and i don't feel like exposing nay more Sam fail for today.
However, all is not lost - i will re plan, focus and finish this guitar. With an inspired paint job and new electronics. I ill begin work in the spring and the warmer weather.
all the best for 2009
