these weeks just keep zooming by. i really cannot believe that this is the last full week in march. it's very strange how quickly time passes when you get older...

today we went to the austin guitar and record convention. i saw about 20 different guitars i wanted to buy, but decided to be fiscally responsible and not buy any of them. how boring. i did end up buying a new pick guard, from this guy who custom makes them. this guy has been painting contemporary art since the 80's, and has a kid who now plays guitar. well the guy decided to start painting pickguards, and they look really fucking cool. there were 2 i had my eye on, and ended up buying one of them. i came back home, took apart my guitar, and tried to put the pickguard on. turns out the template that the guy used for the pickguard didn't fit my guitar (i ended up finding out that his earlier ones fit one type of guitar, and his later ones fit my guitar). soooooooo i had to drive all the way back to the convention center to get my money back. the guy was really cool about everything, and actually gave me a free pickguard (one that i think he had gotten for free somewhere) which was kinda neat. didn't go well with my guitar at all, but hey now i have an extra pickguard. the guy is going to try to get a website with some of his designs on there, so hopefully when he does i can buy one.

Jenny and i went to urban outfitter's after returning the pickguard, and i bought a $20 painting. it had a bunch of scratches along the edges, but we fixed it so you dont notice them anymore. i really want to put some new stuff up on the walls of my room, mainly cool artwork. stuff with striking colors, stuff that can express different moods. i think i'll end up framing a couple of the band posters that i have, and try and put up some paintings/photographs in place of the rest of my posters.

this past week was really exhausting. st patrick's day was on tuesday, so naturally wednesday wasn't the best of days. work's going to start ramping up pretty quickly here too, as i've started working on two different projects. hopefully i'll be able to handle them in addition to my regular workload.

I'm starting to wonder how long it's going to take me to get into a routine of going to work, to the point where my time outside of work isn't focused on the next day of work. I've been working for over 5 months now, and i'm still not completely adjusted to it. sunday nights are spent putting off monday morning for as long as possible. i try to get the most out of my weekends (and subsequently try to not do anything i dont want to, like chores and errands) since it's the only two days i'm not working. maybe my social anxiety is getting the best of me, and i'm just feeling awkward and uncomfortable at work. who knows. maybe what i need to do is change my attitude towards things, and my environment. i normally like to rearrange my room once a year or so, and it's been about that long since i last did that. i feel like whenever i do that i'm in a new environment, and it allows me to get a fresh look on things. maybe i'm just strange

see ya
