In this post, I ramble on about nothing in particular...

Finished reading 'arry Potta today--It was pretty damn intense. Won't say any more than that--I know I'd have punched someone who made me read a spoiler 24 hours ago.

I got my first foreign speeding ticket in France. Apparently I got nailed by a traffic camera, b/c it showed up in the mail. I was going 83 km/h in a 70 zone. According to the letter I was sent, my infraction translates as: "Exceeding the speed limit by less than 20 km/h while driving a motor vehicle in an area with a speed limit greater than 50 km/h." I thought about just skipping the country, but I paid the 45 € fine instead.

Fuckers.

Better news also came in the mail: British Air finally ponied up for the guitar they smashed on my way here from NYC. Received a check to the tune of 460 €. Still not happy about the whole situation, but at least I'm no poorer for it.



Rest in peace, old friend.

And music news on a lighter note(har-har): Last night, i went to this crazy jam session place near Montmartre called 'The Garage' with Hady, Tony, and Hady's little brother. Tony and I brought our guitars, Hady's bro his bass, and Hady used the drumkit there--we rented a room for 2 hours and it was fully equipped with enormous speakers, microphones, preamps, everything we could need to rock out. I had to put in ear plugs, because I thought I was going deaf. By far the most fun I've had jamming with people ever--plugging in to some serious equipment makes a big difference.

Random thought for the day:

The only difference between a mess of contradictions and a balanced personality is situational awareness.
