You saw the picture of the wiring of the amp I want to recreate and shook your head with bewilderment right?

Well, it isn't that far fetched to build this simple (it just looks complex as the way it is laid out.) tube intergrated amplifier.

I am still planning to begin the project sometime... yeah, when? I don't really know! Maybe next Winter :( I am working Diligently to get rid of my own budget deficits, Unlike the U.S government, I cannot afford to live on loans. When all the credit cards are paid off, I will have about $200 per month extra that can be used for this project.

I am still bummed out that Winter is almost over. I got Fat. REAL FAT! and now am struggling to lose it all. I even moved my doctors appointment to two months later so I can work on my weight loss and come up with the $50 Co-Pay. No more Ice cream, doritos or Doughnuts until I can lose at least 30kg!

I am going to miss winter. It is MY SEASON. and it has always been my most loved and cherished time of year. My favorite holidays are during this time: Yule, Christmas, New Years.. My birthday (its a holiday to me ;)) St. Valentines Day.

I got so depressed that I hit the Ice cream, REALLY HARD 1.4 Liters almost every night for a week! Tons of my favorite Cabot Extra Sharp Chedder Cheese... Oh..... Yum! Now I have almost outgrown my clothing... that creates more depression. Not exactly a healthy cycle of events. Finally Lumi and I decided it was time to break that vicious cycle! Lumi is my other half. She is my Twin Soul that shares this body with me. Its a lovely and beautiful thing to share your body with your true twin soul. Like the Travelocity commercial say. "You Never Room Alone."

You never sleep alone either! I may be a Lesbian. but with Lumi, we got lots of good snuggling in. She tries not to get me too upset. Trust me, Its bad enough if you can walk away from a argument with another. but when the other shares your body... You can't walk away ;p You need to settle it with finesse and respect for both parties.

I am looking forward to next winter, I just wish Summer wasn't in there. I hate the heat, humidity and the bugs. The mosquitos love Snow Queen Flesh. Being a OC2 Albino... I burn to a crisp in the sun! I try to sleep in the day to avoid the sun and the heat. My Electric bill for my mediocre Air conditioner is nasty. it costs over $50 to run this ancient dinosaur. Because I am heat Intolerant.. I have to be in a cold environment to avoid heat stroke. Several times I had to sleep in my bathtub to remain cool. I don't have a pool and even if I had.. I cannot tolerate the sun as my skin is super fair.

Something interesting, and quite good may be me working at Cable 13 Access channel in Winsted, Working on audio and Video editing. It would be in the evenings. I look forward to this volunteer challenge as I do like working with Audio. Not so much video but... I do know how to do that. I will let you know how that goes.
