I REALLY want to get something in... But alas... the wheels have come off... company "rightsizing", mom went for op... pressure from all sides... If I'm REALLY lucky I can steel some time, write a song, record vocals and guitar (2 tracks total) and submit before next weekend. lol.

Hey...don't put arms in front of me and expect them not to be twisted - it's literally in my DNA ?

Stoffeltoo

Rather quiet here. I suspect the KGB activities carrying on in the dark recording rooms...
Not much time remaining

I wish! I had such a blank on this one that I decided to go with the blank and submit as such. (insert facepalm here)

Won't be surprised if it doesn't get any votes. ? :-[ ... it was a bit of fun...

Will hopefully do something more serious in the next comp.

i feel you. when i was initially 'coerced' into this i had immediate inspiration. that has, well, waned somewhat. now i'm at my wit's end... ?

I had a initial idea, followed by a bunch more and then finally a tweaked back that paused all activities >☹ Hopefully the looming deadline will focus things a bit...Sunday @ 23h15 is probably when I'll hit record, staying true to my last minute tendencies ?

I quite liked the deaf metal lamb, what ended wits?

V8

Right-o, no more sleeps...four entries received, hoping for a few more before midnite!

Hasie

Not this time. Getting the house ready on weekends for the new family member coming in December.

peterleroux

Entered, with plenty of time to spare... ?

Squonk
