Ready to party

I don't know if it's gonna be a "Party" but I'm invited at a family get together for thanksgiving at Sarah's uncle's place in North Dakota, pretty near form Fargo. I'll be out of Bozeman for about 4 days.
It's true Ruben that I didn't write much on the blog these days, it has been almost a month!!

Well let's try to summarise a month worth of craziness, I've spent a week-end in Helena MT, the capital city of Montana. Sarah had a conference there and I jumped on the occasion to visit another city. It's a little bigger that Bozeman (around 50 thousand) and it was strangely empty of people. That might be because it was a Friday in fact. Anyway it looked like a nice city with more history than Bozeman.

I've been to work, where I got done some good old coding. I'm thinking about changing my methodology so I would have more to say in my report that I'm planning to start writing next week.

It's been snowing here almost non-stop for the past couple of days. I tell you it's brrrrrrrrr!! The snow melts and creates some nice ice rings on the streets. I've seen some cars missing their turns right from my window. They didn't seem to get hurt, just out of the road.

I've been playing a lot with my new guitar! Let me introduce my new baby, a Gibson SG faded brown. 6 strings, two nice humbekers with a very nice warm sound. The neck is a real pleasure to play, it's really fast. Specially to get the 20th and plus frets, there is no wood obstructing the left hand! This is a nice improvement compared to my old pal, the Epiphone Explorer Goth which design, even if really cool and hardcore, makes it a little harder to play.

With the Acolyts we start being pretty serious about composing an album, I have recorded a few riffs, we are writing lyrics, designing a cool logo for the band and also working on the band itself, its orientation, its philosophical meaning ;) Today, thanks to Justin (Acolyt n°2) we have a pretty near perfect logo that just needs a couple improvements to rock even more! The compositions are for now at early stages but I can tell you it sounds like wicked mix between Megadeth, Judas Priest and Pink Floyd (what ??). Well that's what we would like to do. We are still looking for a drummer who would become Acolyt n°4.

The other day we went hiking and we took some nice pictures form Spanish Creek. So here are the pictures, for the ones who prefer to look than to read!

I'd like to send more but blogger seems to be bugging...































Thanks for reading Montana Clem !!
Scenic & disastrous writing.
