First of all, a brownie point to anyone who gets the reference I made in the title.

Secondly, I've decided to start making music again. Again. Now that I'm in college, and finally settled in (for the most part, nothing too serious has gone down so far), and have a lot of time to kill during the day, I can focus quite a bit of time on producing music.

For those that are wondering, I currently use ACID 9.0, with a collection of loops that I am slowly expanding. I do have Ableton Live 8.2 installed, but I haven't gotten around to messing with it too much yet.

In other news, I'm working on my third novel, which is a steampunk/fantasy deconstructionist novel, while making quite a few references to pop culture, memes, anachronisms, and otherwise having a wonderful time with it. I don't know if I'm going to be able to post it anywhere (as it is going to clock in AT LEAST 50,000 words by the end of November) soon, but hopefully, I'll be able to post a draft somewhere online. I'm not too worried about piracy, as I have sufficient evidence that I've created it before anyone else has, so releasing it into public domain at some point is something I might shoot for.

Besides that, I'm posing a question to all (none) of you who read this: why does everyone on Newgrounds use FL Studio to make beats? It all sounds mildly derivative, and doesn't really make for a lot of innovation. I know you can download beatpacks, but for some odd reason, I just feel restrained while using FL Studio. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

We're checking out; got homework to do, and a novel to keep on writing.
