Video Games - Gotta confess I love WWII games in which I get to kill Nazis. Never really played much else.
Curvaceous Guitars - I likes my women curvy and my guitars with a slab body.

I have about 30-35 cases stored on a platform near the ceiling along one side of the garage. I have formica countertops for the studio and I store several amps under there and some along the wall. I keep my cables and mics in a large DJ brief. It holds a lot and weighs more than I like but is very handy. It also hold tuners and my wireless for the guitars. Before I became organized gear storage was a sore spot with Ginny. The closets were full, all the beds had cases under them. It was a job to organize but worth it. I also have a file cabinet with a folder for each guitar containing all tags/paperwork and a number on the folder linking the guitar to a case on the rack. I also have a complete inventory on my computer and off site. So, if I croak unexpectedly, Ginny will be able to make some sense of this.
Much the same, after I spend a day doing whatever it is engineering grad students call life, I practice at least 1 hr, minimum daily practice is just exercises too. After that I can dink around and murder songs people used to love.I am not into video games and very seldom watch TV and am a true guitar junkie. I just finished doing a checkup on my PRS and it is clean fun and certainly entertainment to keep me out of trouble. I also play every day which does wonders for relaxing.
Contours: I like them. I have the forearm contour on the Mahogany Blues Boy. I have some Teles with the belly cut and that is awesome. Both contours would be my choice. Why would a guy but an ASAT S with both contours instead of a Legacy. Good question, but I would. I have four Legacys but would prefer the Classic S with both cuts and hollow body. My MM John Petrucci is tapered on both sides with a deep elbow cut and is extremely comfy to play. The Parker Nitefly Southern is also very light with the right contours and very comfortable to play. Weight does make a difference to a dude like me reaching middle age! My story today-- Darwin
