If someone says "Case of the Mondays" one more time. . .

Well not much is going on today. Most of the people in my office are gone, probably because they are more lazy than I am. Which is cool, because I like to have bosses who are += my.laziness.

I may have secured yet another job to do. A professor on my campus is looking for someone to build him 21 spectral photometers and I'm the most qualified for the job. (go figure) Details to come!

Anyway, like I said, not much going on. I haven't found anything quite so blog worthy (well at least viral Internet stuff) but in other personal news I have just signed papers and am the proud renter of 2109 Lester. I am living with my band mates and a mutual friend. On a recent trip to Georgia with Jak (my bassist), we found an unlabeled CD in my case of which I could not determine origin. So we pop it in the CD player and start to listen to it, we find that is a CD of the most metal of metal. No song labels or anything, but just 15 tracks of pure metal riffs and the most mind meltingly awesome solo ever. So for the last three weeks or so we've been listening to this CD wherever we go and using it as our metal inspiration for our band. Browsing the Internet today revealed to me the identity of the songs and confirmed our suspicions that most of the songs on the CD was Megadeth Rust in Piece. Tornado of Souls is a song with one of the most face melting, technically skilled guitar solos that I've ever heard. Marty Friedman is a god amongst shredders everywhere. Anyway, If you couldn't figure it out already, my musical contribution to you today is Tornado of Souls. The solo starts at 3:11 if you don't want to listen to the rest of it. (it's OK, I'll understand)
