I really, really wanted a nice, relaxing Sunday. It started off great with some beer brats on the grill washed down with Oktoberfests on a georgeous fall day. The Packers then finally looked like a football team while I had some more beer and I was feeling great.

Shortly after the game though my downstairs neighbor knocked on my door and asked me to help carry some heavy boxes in for her. Grumble grumble grumble and downstairs I go where we discover that someone has just hit and killed the cat that belongs to the neighbors across the alley from us and left it right outside our garage. I’m a softy so this made me pretty mad and put me in a bad mood.

I then decided I’d finally get around to watching North by Northwest which I have been trying to rent from Netflix for about 2 months. While watching the movie I thought I’d finally restring and clean my guitar.

Well, surprise surprise, the DVD was cracked pretty badly and only made it about 45 minutes into the movie before things started skipping and freezing.

Then, in a moment of sincere surprise, I took the last strings off of my guitar and the nut, which I knew had a small crack in it, fell into about 5 pieces.  Crap.

So, instead of two hours of movie and guitar I got about three and a half hours of fail. Yay.
