A bit of housekeeping, and a vague, half-arsed acknowledgement of the season/new year:

Firstly, my recently discovered and much-beloved tip for 2008 in music (...), Scott Edgar of Tripod (YON ROOLZ OK) and his band [link]
Have been listening to the myspace sample tracks for ages, and they're GREAT so there. Not intended to be as comedic as the 'od (WHAT THE FUCK IS IT WITH DA AND INAPPROPRIATE EMOTICONS??!?), but still as musically excellent.

Secondly, something closer to home, namely the state of my deviations; some of y'all might have noticed my most recent, [link] (and yes, for my own pathetic satisfaction I have to link to it in a vain attempt to increase viewing), but also Unckie SavAge is working on updating some of the great (uh, tedious?) unfinished master(beginner?)pieces in my scraps section. Namely:

[link] - A piece I started specifically for DA (should do a massive editorial rant on the reasons for and inspiration behind... at some point), but never managed to come up with a name for or actually *ahem*finish*cough*. Have had a recent reappraisal, and I kinda like it, but am figuring on a change of direction from what I had planned (don't worry, fair citizen, nothing of the redundancy made it into anything so lasting as text bytes).

[link] - Another 40k piece, a desperate attempt to play to my universitariat strengths and do something that's similar to an historical document anthology. I like the format, but the implementation is taking a fair while... However, have JUST UPDATED IT with a whole new bit!

[link] - My big 40k project, a little hiatised at the mo, although I'm trying *real hard* to be the shep- duh, to keep up. Sort of.

Lastly, I suppose I should just say a belated but nevertheless heartfelt merry turkey-season and happy new arbitrary-beginning-of-the-annual-calendar to y'all out there, muy amor. New comp in three days!
