Refreshing!

Cold showers rule!

Well, not really, but when you have no heat they're all you have. And then you do the cold shower dance. Darting body parts in and out of the spray like an epilieptic having a grand mal seizure. Telling yourself to "Deal with it," and "Be a man!" Only you can't really be a man during a cold shower, can you? That's sort of the result of a cold shower, even an involuntary one.

Luckily heat was restored later that night, but it didn't help during those torturous few minutes.

I was watching the new live Black Crowes DVD last night. And aside from marc Ford being an awesome guitar player with a styling 70's moustache, that guy pretty much has the exact guitar collection that I want. Les Paul, SG, Les Paul double cut (with the faded cherry finish), Strat, Tele. Bastard! Watching this DVD did not at all help my desire to buy new guitars, which I really cannot afford right now.

Here's my quandry. There is the exact Les Paul double cut I want on Ebay right now. The auction ends tomorrow, and currently the high bid is temptingly low. Low enough that I'm "watching" the auction. But to afford it, I'd realistically need to sell one of my other guitars.

Now, I have been considering selling my Epiphone semi hollow, because there are some sound qualities to it that I'm not really digging. Things that I'm not sure would be fixed by new pickups. However, during that same Black Crowes DVD, I saw Rich Robinson playing the Gibson verion of my Epiphone and noticed that while his guitar had some of the same qualities, it sounded better. Not much, but enough that I started thinking there was maybe some things I could do. And let's face it, the Epi looks cool.

What to do, what to do.

Much of my decision may rest upon what the bids are like closer to the auction closing time.

Or maybe I should just take another cold shower. That curbs urges, right?
