Slopehaarvist

It's a secondary theme song for Cadmus. After "Clubbed to Death," "Slopehaarvist" gives me deliciously terrifying visions of the Pariah. I still find it rather odd that Cadmus' main theme isn't a Shriek song, but at least I'm making up for it with Stic Basin's "Slopehaarvist." The deep and driving rhythm of the song, combined with the exotic melody, makes me see the more savage side of Cadmus. If "Clubbed to Death" is music for Cadmus to display himself in all his glory, then "Slopehaarvist" is music for Cadmus to slaughter by.

Actually, the majority of the Stic Basin album has Cadmus' bloody finger prints all over it.

I've had Paine and Aggie meet up with Kelat and Thaddeus. And Cadmus has become Thiyennen's "adviser." Mentions of landmarks and establishments in Asheville are growing more frequent. Oh, and I even have a cameo appearance by The Harpist. I'm pouring everything into this story. Everything.

Snow in the Smokies

There's a chance of snow up home tonight. Seeing the white on the map over where I should be living just makes me even more homesick. I think another drive to Asheville is in order. Maybe next week after NaNo. If I can swing it, we may stay overnight at the Mountaineer. Yeah.

::hits head against wall::

Cadmus refuses to shut up tonight. He's unhappy with the amount of attention given to him in the story. Sorry, but the story existed long before Cadmus ever slithered into existence. What's really odd is that, in the story, Cadmus can't find it within him to feel or express emotion but, when he's rattling around in my brainpan, he's always quite passionate and seems to relish the fact that he disturbs me so.

There's nothing worse than waking up in the middle of the night hearing his dry-leaf chuckle echoing in my ears.

In other news, I found a few of my art books from long ago, one of which features my Nude Maul drawing. Perhaps I should scan that and post it here for to horrify the masses. Just imagining the look of shock on folks' faces is enough of a motivator for me to do it. Buahahahah!

Also found a pencil sketch of Thiyennen doing the stigmata dealio. I should scan that too. I still haven't found the picture of Thaddeus and Kelat, but I have an idea of where it may be. Tomorrow is another day.

Speaking of tomorrow, Todd's in town and Aunt Tudi and I are having lunch with him tomorrow. Pictures will be forthcoming.

No Boston Legal tonight, but SVU comes on, so that's good. And to think, this time last week I was being abused by Northwest Airlines.

From "Waterbaby" by Barry Andrews

It bespeaks of Cadmus on a subatomic level, I swear to the Mighties!
