early morning chit chat

nothing to update this week, except my 12" tom is on the curing stage and the 13" will follow on tuesday. the bass and floor tom will be *pinkified tonight.

last saturday was a bummer. i almost made a double order when i made a 50% downpayment on magellan for 2 sheets of veneer, when my other supplier who's very slow in making replies suddenly thought it'd be nice to send me a little message. i made the deal with them first and i was going to get my items for the same amount as magellan's but with double the quantity. its a good thing that i was able to refund my downpayment in full from magellan. i made a promise to get some stuff from them in the near future, im thinking of doing an exotic veneer outer layer, they are the only supplier of exotic veneers that i know of. exotics, they sure are pricey.

im also getting my broadband connection at home so no more waiting till monday to post here. its a 256k line from smart wi-fi. now smart partnered with meridian telekoms to provide the gateways, smart lend its cellsites for consumer access. the first company i've worked for was a client of meridian's 3 years ago, being the lead tech guy, it was not a very good experience. im giving meridian the benefit of the doubt that maybe they have improved their service over the years. im holding my breath for now.


*yes you've seen it written here first, the new word pinkified, defined in the 2005 pimping dictionary as past tense, undergone the pinkifying process. present tense is pinkify, the process of pinking.
