So I dismantled my kids' old plastic swingset. It's been an eyesore for years in my back yard. That'd make me happy enough right there, but after loading the plastic bits in the dumpster at the transfer station, I went to the metal dumpster to dispose of the long metal rod from the set. And right there in the very front of the dumpster was a nice CB 16" x 16" black floor tom. Perfectly matches my black Pearls!  :metal

Posted a picture of myself on Facebook a few days ago, and my newly found sister, whom I haven't met in person yet, commented telling me how much my neice resembles me... It's funny but words can't explain how happy that made me feel.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

So since I bought my TAMA Snare drum for my Electric kit about a year ago - i've always had a mesh head on it for 80% volume reduction so I can play at home.

Today I decided to take it to my Dads' house as he has converted barns for meetings etc. It's where I played my acoustic drums growing up at home...

Anyway - I put the proper Tama Batter head on before I got picked up and I took one E-Bass Pad. My low volume hi-hats and a low volume 16" crash

Just so I could get a "set" feel.

Anyway.  :o My snare has SUCH a crack to it. I bought it as obviously I love the snare sound on Metallica, Load and Reload and Lars used a Tama

Bell Brass Snare I think... So I bought a Steel Tama Snare and the tone is AMAZING for £100..!! Cannot complain. It's got such a THWACK.  ;D ;D


I love Tama Drums. My White Rockstar kit was built like a Tank.

LOL @ TAC and Snookie.

The little silly things that spark joy.

Having this Millenium Falcon wireless charger by the desk is a fun little thing that makes me happy for whatever weird reason.


It even glows for a bit when you set your earphones/phone to charge

I went to a renaissance fair over the weekend and saw those being sold.  Basically the only thing I seriously thought spending some bucks on.  But everything was so expensive and cash only.  Didn't really make me want to spend money on the ATM fees on top of that.

I bought it from a site called Alehorn.  Multiple styles of mugs and horns.

Let me guess, they got you on a social media advertisement?  I feel like I got those ads a lot for awhile, but not in a long time now.
