And now for the beginning of the first really fun part of this year’s efforts: Surviving in a really warm room with a computer I can’t turn off, until things cool down again some time around midnight. (The second really fun part? The stretch between 1am and 6am…)

Ah well. I knew it was going to be this way and I agreed to do the ‘thon anyway. This just goes to show that yes, I’m a big ol’ masochist at heart. Making the best of it, I am.

I’m rather proud of that bit below, even if it is lighter in wordcount than my usual artsy vignettes. Then again, how many words can a guy crank out in twenty minutes or so and still get a semi-coherent scene out of it? Besides, I’m still getting a kick out of coming up with “Puck’s perverted pickle.” (Does it help for the reader to know that David’s last name is Oberon? Probably.) Yes, I’m a weirdo.

I’ve picked my next album review, so now begins the task of assembling audio bits in Cool Edit. I’m sticking with more of that lesser-known-artist stuff… you’ll find out who, in another hour or so.
