Blah

Last night, the gaming rig blue screened while it was updating itself. After a run through the new system recovery thing, it'll boot into Windows 7 now. It feels a tad more sluggish than before, and TF2 refuses to launch. I'm hoping this isn't something that's gonna require a total wipe and reinstall of everything.

Rock in Rio

While thinking about music, cons, and booze while at work last week, an idea hit me. FWA's theme for next year is Carnaval, which instantly makes me think of Brazil. You know what else I think of when I think of Brazil? Rock in Rio, specifically the first one back in 1985. That makes it totally in line with both my interests and Aeth's character. If I can afford it, I may have to have an over the top Rock in Rio room party while there. Pizza, booze, and as much footage of the Rock in Rio festival as I can get my paws on.

Other than that, I'm trying to come up with a skeleton of a blues piece tentatively called "Post-Con Blues" to be half-improvised the final night of whatever con I happen to have attended. I can have the music and most of the lyrics already in my head, and then just slap in bits to customize it for whatever con I've just attended.
