guitar accessories

i really hope my guitar arrives soon. i have now ordered an amp, a cable (my cousin tom (not the nightmare 8 year old, the teenaged version who lives in cardiff) says they're called jack-leads or something...), a bag, a strap, a set of plectrums... was there anything else? i don't think so. that was pretty much the whole of the paycheck i got yesterday... oh well, i get paid again on friday ;-)

i could still do with a stand, but that's not urgent. the bag wasn't really urgent, but it was so cheap i thought i might as well get it with the rest of the stuff so that postage would be cheaper. it was £10 for the lot. postage i mean :-) that was including the amp, so it was definitely cheaper than getting the stuff seperately

what i do need desperately (or will, once everything arrives) is a book 'electric guitars for idiots' or something similar, so that i can get started on torturing my fingertips till they fall off... tom says there are some good music shops in cardiff, i'm going to make him help me pick a book when i go down next weekend.

we just watched the first episode of robin hood on bbc. not good. and it could have been so great :-( i guess it could have been a lot worse. i was just hoping it would be really good. that always leads to disappointment... the boys loved it. they actually behaved themselves for the full 45 minutes. except for the incident where caleb (almost 2) turned the television off halfway through.. there was a lot of yelling then, but i can't blame them for that :-D
