Three notes, briefly.

If I thought I had no time for blogging before…

(a) Writing an epic. Finally found the beginning I’ve sought, and it’s going well. Book one is well underway. It involves a creation story, an ageless race of gods, a brand spanking new solar system, and some Shakespearean sonnets thrown in for good measure. Measure by measure, even. We shall see what comes of it. So far? Nearly a dozen chapters, and 42-lines of 10-beat iambic pentameter abab cdcd efef gg. No shit.

(b) Holiday music. Picked up the next Cure re-release (Head on the Door), as well as the new video (live show from the 2005 tour). Also grabbed some Red Hot Chili Peppers–Californication, which I’ve been meaning to pick up for ages, and their 2-CD release, Stadium Arcadium. This is easily the best album I’ve heard (excluding the Cure, because we know how I feel about the Cure) in five years. It’s fantastic. I’ll be listening to it over and over again all weekend long.

(c) PS2. A well-timed pair of gift cards to Best Buy and five minutes in the gaming section? I should have gotten storage for Morpheus, but I came home with the next gen PS2 and a wireless guitar. Sigh.

Figures. Ok, off to rock it. And perhaps roll up some of the world. Man, have I missed Katamari…

    abab cdcd efef gg — shakespeare’s rhyme scheme. I know, I know, I’m a really odd bird.

    Go figure.
