i fucking rule!

so remember that bass amp i told you i was fixing yesterday? well, i FUCKING FIXED IT. that fuckin' thing's been broken for like seven years or something godawful like that. it's a 400 watt peavy head with a single 12" cabinet and...now that it works...i know...it's pimpin'.

it took a day and maybe....six or seven hours total, but i started from the front and just started following the circuit all the way along the line finding something that didn't seem right. turns out there was a quad opamp chip that was busted so i googled that shit, found the pinout, went to radioshack and found a similar one (probably not quite as good quality) and tried it out. $1.76 and i am the fucking man. you have no idea how proud of myself i am right now. despite kowing so much shit about electronics...we learn very little about practical shit. as i've said before...i think. it's just such a great feeling to apply all this shit i'm learning to actually be useful, and save possibly a hundred dollars or more to pay someone to fix it.

too bad i don't even play bass....

oh well.

on another note

that last post has kind of...twisted itself. it's kind of ironic but i wrote that post because of all the hits i was getting from that post about gollum's acceptence speech. it made me think about what people search for and i thought of all the would-be-porn hits that i keep getting. so i wrote that list of shit to see what would hit...i check it and i have a shitload of hits today...and i'm like...hah...i'm funny. instead, though, i tturns out that they were still checking on gollum's acceptance speech...and tatu's lesbian antics on stage...again. (those schoolgirls were really hot).

ehh, test failed. just like my poll over there

i hate you all :)
