I’ve been busy.  I haven’t been playing my Xbox, I haven’t been playing my guitar (much), and I haven’t been posting to the blog.  I apologize.

First, I bought another gun.  Not just any gun, I picked up the XD-45 Compact that I’ve been eyeing for at least 2 or 3 months.  I got a great deal (at the gun show) and we went right from there to Aaron’s property to shoot off a few rounds.  Aaron bought a 9mm XD and another friend bought a Sig P226 .40S&W.  The Sig is a very nice gun.  I was set on going .45 or the deal he got might have swayed me.  I’ll post more about the XD later on, hopefully with some pictures.  Suffice it to say I LOVE IT and it shoots awesomely as evidenced by this target (standing, at about 60ft) even with the compact magazine (which still holds 10 rounds of .45 ACP)!

Secondly, this video had to be posted.  I’m not a huge Weezer fan, but this is totally and completely brilliant.
