Bzzzzz.

Last week, I went out and got a new guitar. My old one, that I'd had for something like eight years, was a classical. But I'd hardly touched it, and didn't have much interest in playing classical music. So I traded it in and got a new, inexpensive acoustic.

But this week, I've found that a couple strings - most noticeably the 5th* - seem to buzz on some chords. Which is how I came to name it. Because, hey, a guitar deserves a name.

I've called it Sovremenny. The Sovremenny is a class of Russian destroyer ship, originally Project 596 Sarych, and Sarych, or сарыч, is Russian for "buzzard."

It's a bad pun combined with a lazy wikipedia search. (I wonder if that tells more about me than it should.)


*This has nothing to do with my obsession with 5, I swear! Just coincidence. Interesting choice of coincidence, though.

Question.

Hey, I've got a question for anyone reading this. Well, for any comic book readers, anyway. Does anyone out there know what a typical page count for an issue of a comic book is? And if it varies, what are some standard amounts?

I'd find out myself, but since my sole foray into the realm of comic books was an issue of a Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? comic some years ago and someplace else, I don't know if there even are any stores around here.

(Okay, so that was two questions. Whoops.)
