I’ve spent some time recently trying to streamline my life, and one big part of that is trying to get rid of, or consolidate, a lot of the crap I have.
Way back when, when I was gainfully employed, I bought a lot of guitar parts, because I could. I knew that if there was ever a time I wasn’t very employed, at least I would have the time and parts to keep myself busy and not slide into misadventure.
I also had a lot of extra wood laying around from certain proje...Read more
I’ve been too busy lately with a lot of things, and my blogging has suffered accordingly.
But I managed to finish this guitar (more or less) and so here it is.
Having gotten the neck done, I started on the finish of the guitar. The neck got clear matte lacquer, and the body was sprayed flat white and then fluorescent orange:

I’ve broadened my scope, or, in this instance, widened my ‘beaten zone’ (look it up).
For the first and hopefully last time, I review a K-pop CD.
If you want to watch this film, you are subject to the Allure of Shit.
If you try to take this film seriously, blood will shoot from every orifice in your head after the first five minutes.
The Allure of Tears/傾城之淚’s plot, acting, and ‘directing’...Read more

She must be singing; look at Chapman’s face.
It’s no secret that I am literally and figuratively the biggest Wong Jing fan in the world.
He is the Ronald McDonald of Hong Kong cinema: cheap, fast, and unhealthy .
Sorry for the delay. I’ve been very busy lately, and haven’t had the time I needed to blog.
So where were we?
The neck has been shaped at the butt end, the truss rod routed for. What’s next?
I shaped the headstock, following the lines drawn from the template. I also drilled the tuner holes, which is not as simple as it looks.
The holes are actually two different sizes, with the smaller one being on the face of the headstock. This...Read more
F*ck Johnnie To.
If he can’t even be bothered to direct a movie he is directing, I’m not gonna be bothered to write a review.
He phoned it in, so I’m doing the same.
I won’t even put up the poster.
A new low. Irredeemable trash.
I should sue him for 90 minutes of his life.
The @sshole.
We come now to the heart of the matter, the meat of the thing: the neck for this guitar.
I needed raw materials: a truss rod, a fretboard, and a neck blank.
Thanks to Warmoth and Stewart McDonald, I got them.
SEC template (top), War...Read more
Lately I’ve been watching the History Channel’s Gangland series on YouTube. It’s all about street gangs, prison gangs, motorcycle gangs, and other such historically important phenomena.
Yeah, History Channel, I’m pointing at you. And not with my index finger.
I also went back and re-watched the classic 1996 HBO documentary Prisoners of the War on Drugs.
That’s the show that exposed Chris Rock (and the rest of us) to the Tossed Salad Man.
This was the other Chinese New Year film for 2012. It’s a quartet of (mostly) love stories, one of which barely (but not quite) escapes being a dramatization of the real-life romance of a famous filmmaker and a much much younger Asian woman.
Because it’s a New Year film, it is of course light on the heavyness and heavy on the silliness. But as I always say, it’...Read more
If we don't support the movies that deserve it, we get the movies that we deserve.
