I'd term today as lackadaisical. I made progress on neither the Sheep Blog nor Hope For Wildlife. Perhaps this is a rationalization, but I conclude my second day of rest is because they are both at a stable point. Heh. I titter at myself.
A few items to add to the Sheep Blog:
The final one is the easiest to initially implement. The others are all tied together with the idea of multiple users and their ability to each post and each comment on others' posts. That is, it will take more planning.
I shall have to go through the old entries of my ex-blog and take their topics to be used in the Sheep Blog. (Entries from the old blog have already been transferred). Eventually, I'd like to get all my archives from Livejournal[1] and have them be a part of the Sheep Blog, as well. Another idea is to slowly type entries from written journals into the database. This will take time. Hm. I need to begin experimenting with images within the blog, as well. I have not properly tested Markdown in this manner. Well. I guess we can try it now, eh? Here we go.
So, we'll have to see just exactly what this does when the page is rendered. I am sure everyone reading this is very excited about the result. I can hear the hoorahs in my distant dreams from perhaps distant futures. <img src="/images/gretel_and_ferret.jpg" width="200" style="vertical-align: middle;" />
Enough of that, anyway.
I have not begun on the music for *Cycle* (formerly entitled *AcyBob*), yet. Actually, that is untrue. The original sketch from last February is finished (I love those verse melodies) and some 'middle music' exists, though I cannot recall exactly what it sounds like. I am thinking I'll go the 80s Crimson way and jump from part to part with no real warning or 'proper' transitions. Yus! Marvellous, I must say, sweaty-one. The melody that stirred in my mind in the late morning (just pre-noon), I jotted down, and it is this (with Tony-lyrics to accompany):
a a a e e f g a f e d We'll be nested in and argent on that day
I know I have heard this or a slight variation of this melody somewhere before. I believe it is from another Alfred track, however, so my plagiarism is a desirable crime. I assume at this point the bass will be playing eighth-note triplets on *f* and this melody will be much too consonant. If the next line, which goes like this,
and the sangria and soup will pour
is during the triplety *e* part, the same or slight variation of this melody will still be too consonant, so I may somehow shift it, including the *bes* which is a tritone of the *e*. I am still not sure if this **triplety** (see a few entries ago) part will only have these two notes in the bass or wander off into other realms. My first hunch is to stay with the minimalism, though.
