The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[damnromulans]

Sitting at work on my birthday with nothing to do. Gonna poop soon. All those pushups have paid off, my suitcase is heavier than normal but I can hoist it over my head no problem.

happy birthday!

though it's probably a pretty shitty time to have a birthday, since your parents probably gave you birthday + christmas presents at the same time thus resulting in fewer presents.

Thanks!

Nah, they gave me a fuckton of money (that depends on one's definition of a "fuckton" but considering I probably make more money than they do it is) and 15 wrapped gifts in the mail. Being an only child rules. Plus I figure they're just pleased it's all out of the way in 2 days.

I personally love having my birthday at this time but the obvious drawback is that it's hard to do anything social because everyone's at home with their families and whatnot. I'm going to the city to hang out with Man-Purse tonight and tomorrow. I think he's gotten me an entire cake.

I have a whole concept of what I want this thing to be, and I even have some lyrical concepts worked out. I have riffs which might be described as the bastard child of Adramelech and Sacramentum. I need to find a drummer but at this point I'm so out of touch with the metal people in my area that it's difficult to recruit people. I plan on doing all guitars and vocals and possibly bass if I can be bothered to buy a bass and a suitable amp for that. Whatever, I just know that I need to make something that I'm proud of (a good demo or something) before I depart from my Earthly existence.

If you don't mind me asking, what is the process of constructing a song like for you? Do you begin with a purely conceptual abstraction and build upon that with music/lyrics (if so, which of the two comes first?), or do the separate elements sort of come into being exclusively in no particular order? I only ask because I've recently been getting on myself about actually making something that will turn into a coherent release years down the road, and I feel like I need to start experimenting with different methodologies.

Ah yeah, forgot about the only child thing. Definitely compensates to say the least.

Enjoy the cake and the manpurse.

Back in business, this time with a new hard drive and 100% more windows 7.

Is it strange I saw this video and thought of Valerie?

Why the black bars?????? Once again Japan is impossible to understand.

Maybe to protect their identities.

But then again, they all look the same anyway so what does it matter?
