Random post

I don't seem to follow any regular patterns for dates any longer. Always was a rebel...

Finally got my Curtis Novak lipstick pickups and are they lovely. Crisp, glassy and direct, I finally have the thonk/twang sound on the wound strings that I always wanted. Plus they look ballin'. Activating my pedals and "cranking" the amp can give off some pretty crazy rock'n'roll still. There seem to be some shorting problems with them however, shaking the guitar a bit helps sometimes, I'll probably open up and inspect/fix all of them (fixed one, boy is that hard with no proper tools...). I've also ordered a new pickguard, a proper strap and a wah-pedal, so I probably won't touch the pickups until they have arrived. And after that, maybe I'll post some photos (and a video? who knows?!).

On the home stretch for my thesis, and working on a take-home exam. And I started to seriously look for jobs. I'd like to go to one particular place so much, but I need to muster up and start taking some chances for that to happen. I want to go there sooo bad...

I miss mountain-biking in the Juras :(

EDIT(2013-06-15 12:22): I still have to show ID when buying alcohol here in Sweden :D Funny how I never had to in France...
