Pre-Holiday Randomocity

I was going to spend today--which is a corporate holiday for me--relaxing, after doing a couple of chores such as giving Atari his bath and making some groceries. I was going to nap, watch TV, not do too much productive stuff.

Then my muse woke up and gave me an idea for a little instrumental tune. It won't quite fit in with my current song cycle--this is a little too mellow for that--but it's a nice piece and if I pull it off it'll be haunting and lovely. Fingers crossed! Which makes it hard to play the guitar or the synth, but whatever . . .

You'll see a new widget over to your right. It's a web series that my best friend is producing/writing/directing. You can help fund it--like I did--to bring something lovely and entertaining into the world. My friend is quite a talented writer and this will be something very much worth your time. Tell your friends about it. The more the merrier!

I became a year older yesterday. I really wish that I had something profound to say about that, but really I can't think of anything. I'm an old geezer, a dirty old man, covered in the scars that life has given me, and I really wouldn't change anything. While I don't have all that many friends the few I have are people who have proven themselves. I don't have time or patience to deal with flakes anymore and most people out there seem to fall into that category.

When  you get a chance visit Winter's Thrall's website, since I'm taking this opportunity to push my friends' creative efforts. Jez is an incredible songwriter and performer, and his music is worthy of our time. Give his stuff a listen.

Of course you are encouraged to click the links to hear my stuff, too. It'd make a dirty old man very happy.

Monday night randomocity

Waiting to get my additional copies of the anthology--gonna autograph some and give them to some people. Should be here by now.

And I've been thinking about my music. The next thing. I'm thinking I'm going to make an adjustment to my style. I've been listening to some stuff that's a little outside my usual and getting some ideas. The next batch of tunes is going to be really heavy--as heavy as I can make them. I'm in the mood to thunder.

I need to start rewriting Mythophobia--my friend has given me some notes and has helped me improve it dramatically. It'll require a tear down and rebuild but that's a Good Thing if it helps. It wasn't bad before (or so I believe) but it'll be really good after I finish this.

My friend, by the way, is set to produce/write/direct her own web series, "Witchy Ways." You can check out the Facebook page here. Be sure to click "Like" while you're there. It's going to be amazing.

Nothing in particular going on with me tonight--done with the day and I'm just chilling before House. How about you guys? Doing anything special on this Monday night?
