Hrfm. Damn.

So s4 and I went downtown to Givens Violins this afternoon.

The cello is, according to them, worthless. They said with the money it'd take to fix it, I could get a better cello.) They didn't tell me specifically what was wrong with it, or how much it would cost to repair it, but I think it has a lot of gaps where it's coming apart that you can't really see.

Oh well. It was a fun fantasy for a couple days, and I'm no poorer save the parking meter (unless I want to take up ebay on one of many full cello outfits for under $200- but I guess I don't really trust those for some reason). Guess I'll stick to woodwinds for now.

The punks downstairs suggested I fill it with gasoline, light it, and throw it off a bridge. And to make sure I invited them if I did so. That's their answer for everything.

You'd have to invite a bunch of us if you did that, a bunch of us with cameras and videocameras. But yeah, that's also my idea for a practical joke whenever someone leaves the office, as something we can do to their personal office. My supervisor doesn't find that as clever as I do.

you could always just follow Will's philosophy -
"if it's empty, fill it with cream".
