Mar. 10th, 2004 02:40 amToday's highlights:
- Trying to introduce some reason into the childish metal communities here on LiveJournal; yes, I hate Slipknot too, but does everybody have to shout about it all the time? It really is like being back at school where you'd get mocked mercilessly for wearing cheap footwear or liking the wrong football team or whatever.
- Complaining about the labelling of sub-sonic droning done with guitars as 'doom metal';
- Finding someone who knows the old friend who ran the last real fantasy roleplaying campaign I took part in, and who I've not seen for almost 8 years now. Which leads me to...
- Remembering how, in that RPG, being one of the best swordsmen in the land did not stop me from gaining a reputation for hiding behind my horse when danger reared its ugly head. I went on to meet an ignominious death by being crushed by a fake dragon.
- Playing this new Draconian album about 6 or 7 times in a row and consistently being Very Impressed at the tempo change about 6 minutes in;
- Having a headache, as some sort of cruel and vindictive payback for this being the first toothache-free day since last Friday;
- Finding someone else local who wants to write exactly the same sort of music as I do; but then predictably discovering he's another guitarist, which is the only position I really don't need to fill.
- Listening to Chris whine about how his chosen (female) model for the band artwork he's doing is never available, and mocking his serious attempts at a collage due to the uncanny resemblance to Trogdor... then having to show the Philistine who Trogdor is;
And that's about it.
