Snow day!!
(Monday, 14 January 2008) Written by Alternate Modes of Underwater Conciousness

Hell froze over, and my employer actually called off work.

(It -never- happens, but there is a crapload of snow out there, and it's hitting right amidst the morning commute, and showing no signs of letting up.)

So, it's giving me a chance to contemplate what I want to do in February.

I have a couple of general goals in mind:

1) One song with death vocals. 

2) One song created in the genre of "Idiotic Dance Music", as a spoof of "Intelligent Dance Music".

3) A couple wholly improvised tracks.

4) One song running 15-20 minutes. (All my songs were 2-3 minutes last year..)

5) Irving Finkelstein sings on one track. (This is a longshot. He only knows the dreidel song, and can only sing it well backwards.)

6) Really cool album artwork. (I'm getting my paint out!)

7) Music video for a track. (I think I'm going to finally break down and get Adobe Premiere Pro. Let's face it - without something visual, nobody really pays attention to us. Even a sucky video on Youtube is good exposure.)

8) Morse code utilized on one track for a makeshift rhythm.

9) Use of unintentional harmonic interaction between various devices, including shortwave radio and/or anything with a generator.

10) Make more lists of random stuff in my blogs.

11) I'm going back to bed now. After all, it's a snow day.

I too have a rare snow day from work, only teh pre-condition is I have to "work from home". Thanks to technology I can do 90% of my job from home.  
 
Only real problem with that is the kids and wife are home today too, so now I have to hide my RPM Web surfing from my them instead of my boss. HA!

We need another freak snowstorm tomorrow morning during rush hour. I don't feel like going to work. =) 
 
I'm too disciplined to call in sick, though. In order for me to call in sick, I typically need to have the Black Plague.
