For years now I've resisted the temptation to subscribe to mail-order rental services, be they movie or games, because I didn't think it was worth the potential trouble.  I really don't even rent dvds.  I have a source for some movies (YARRR!) and the rest I just buy outright on dvd.  With games I have the Blockbuster gamepass or again, I just buy outright.

Just got back from patrolling some of the nearby grocery stores for pre-cooked Thanksgiving dinner deals.  The winner:  Meijer.

Almost Friday.  Yay!  Busy week at work, with the end of year coming up and us making the mad dash to meet the projections for 2008.  Makes for a lively day at least, and they tend to go by fast so thats good.

Another bright spot from last night I forgot to mention earlier...

A few weeks ago I came up with a neat little riff while working on a bass line for one of our songs.  I played it for our drummer last time and he really liked it, and he put a really nice beat down to go with it.  Only thing was, while it sounded good it was more of a funk/blues type of thing rather than rock/metal.  I didn't know if it was usable in its current form, but we figured we'd see what the guitarist thought.

So our band finally got together in full force for the first time in like 5 weeks.  I'd gotten together with the drummer since then, but either the guitarist couldn't make it or it was on a day I had to drive downstate to pick up my son.  But finally all 3 of us got together in one place, and it was a blast.

I meant to post a "scary" Halloween music video and kept forgetting, so here it is:
