A Little Self-Indulgence

I'm just gonna take a minute to tell you all what's happening with me right now. Not to Twitter-level detail, but just the stuff you hopefully care about a little.

First of all, my band just had its first practice in about 7 weeks. It's really fantastic to be playing again, and I was delighted to hear that in addition to the several songs I'd written over the summer, every other member of the band had written something too. Connor wrote a few fantastic piano melodies that I hope to use very soon; Dylan's getting awesomely funky; Andrew wrote a drum line, but it's in 7/8 time, so I'll have to wait and see if I'm willing to indulge him; and Alec, believe it or not, wrote a rap, which is actually really, really good. To make matters even better, we both started and finished working on Alec's rap in one practice, which also came with something of a musical epiphany for Dylan. And we're planning on doing some basic recording soon, so maybe you'll even get to hear some of this.

Also, I started working on a short story earlier this week, kind of inspired by Fight Club, which I just finished reading. It's very, very cynical, but I like it so far. Hopefully I'll finish it soon, and then will post it here.

School has started for me again, and though the second week is coming to a close and the workload is easy so far, the IB insanity is supposed to be just around the corner. So I may miss a Thursday or two, and may or may not make up for it later. I'm guessing you'll forgive me, though.

As always, comment, even if you don't have anything to say. Like I've said, I don't have any other means of finding out if people read this, so I like to know that they do.

Finally: OOOOOOOOOOOOO MY GOD.
