Notes -
What purchases have you been extremely satisfied with lately? Can be large, small, regular or extraordinary, for yourself or as a gift, whatever.
For me:
-- I love my 97lb kettlebell. I'm having so much fun.
-- I bought a NEBO cap light at the hardware store, although upon googling to find it for this I'm realizing I overpaid. It's really convenient, in the heat lately I've been trying to walk my dog for a long walk before the sun comes up and again after it comes down, I bought it to keep the red light on when I walk her to avoid getting hit by a car. I've never had a good clip light before, it's so far superior to a strap on headlamp.
-- I like cool mint Zyns on long drives. I don't use them daily, but I find them very nice when I'm tired and bored, the nicotine perks me up, and the flavor is sort of nice with a diet coke without eating anything.
-- Lately I've been living off of frozen fruit blended with cottage cheese in the vitamix. It hits my frozen treat desire in the summer while being fairly high protein.
What about you?
I'm a musician in my spare time, but I live in a tiny apartment with my girlfriend - no room for my guitars or even a practice amp. I was browsing a guitar shop in Adelaide in February and I spotted one of these Traveler guitars - extremely compact guitars designed for people on the road. I bought this one. This guitar is tiny: 71cm long, 13cm wide (a typical full-size guitar is 101cm x 38cm) and weighs only a little over a kilo. But its scale length is very slightly longer than my preferred guitar when I'm in the studio, so it's not like I'm cramping my fingers playing a half-size guitar. One of the ways they achieved such a small length is by integrating the machine heads into the body of the guitar, so there's no headstock. The tone from the guitar is very respectable, considering how small the body is. I can plug the guitar into my recording interface connected to my laptop, lay down a quick demo, then stash the guitar under my couch when I'm not using it. It even comes with a removable laprest so you can play it sitting down. Best of all, it set me back less than €400, and I got it on finance.
