*sigh* so it's a few weeks after christmas and i'm finally organized. let's recap the havok. the following all fit snugly into my stocking:

a.) new guitar
b.) new computer

all i need now is some sort of a microphone and some cheap recording software and i'm good to go! i got a job interview the other day for barnes and noble and if i get that, i'll have an awesome mic in no time. if i don't, eh, well, i'll have a crappy mic within a few weeks. so here's hoping. i'll post again with actual music to hear!
