Today's post is sponsored by Carbonized's Screaming Machines. Terribly underrated progressive album, way ahead of its time. Talking with a number of modern-day people, I think its time still hasn't come. What a pity, people are depriving themselves of a huge treat.

I retroactively named the Turnip band Yelling Construct in the album's honor. This is subject to change if I come up with anything better. For now I haven't.

Raspberry bush slayage is quite the energy-draining task, I slept for 11 hours straight that night, but at least I didn't wake up with the ground-shattering headache I had when I went to bed. Finally got started on that Russian fantasy book I "nicked" from my sis's room, it seems pretty decent. Interesting idea, thus far the execution is adequate.

Found a bug in my testing script, patched it up. Something about mismatched dimensions or something like that. Today I'll try to get a head start on the RT-PCR experiment planner I was asked to write... maw, y I so lazeh? I don't feel like it, really.

Showed The Dude some Funerus, asking him what guitar/amp it is. He fell for them like mad, and I used the chance to cram a whole arsenal of bands down his throat. Now he's blasting Rippikoulu and enjoying it. Also, he penned some riffs... one of them unblocked my slight pep stall and I'm working on a new tune for the band. Got this fabulously discordant lead over his riff, utilized as the verse, and he actually let me keep it. Hooray. Now I'm trying to come up with some nice 6/8 riffs that would be creative, I rarely work in that meter, and the song demands a huge-ass instrumental section. Jolly good, jolly good.

Fox and Lillien threw a badass Halloween party, in character as Sweeney Todd (complete with white highlights!) and Nellie Lovett. Of course, they served meat pies. Total badassery, I tell you! One of these days I'll get my act together and go to one of those "party" things people keep talking about, and enjoy it.

Need to meet up with the two of them sometime soon, as it's been forever since I saw Lillien (I'd lie if I said that I forgot how she looks or how her voice sounds, but it's really been a long time) and Fox has to show me at least one of her badass necklaces, the latest addition being a wicked silver raven skull.
