In case you missed my previous posts, we created a new song specifically for Halloween, called "Fantomatique."

We posted it for review on Monday at garageband.com, and it's been getting some pretty good reviews! Today, it has been awarded "Track of the Day" in the Industrial category. [And our mySpace friends/fans have really been enjoying it too].

This was mostly G's baby - it's mainly instrumental...I do some "aahs" in it, but I'm definitely not in the foreground this time around. We're going to always do a few cool instrumentals on our albums, we've decided. Cradle of Filth does that a lot, as does Dimmu Borgir, and I always enjoy those tracks - totally creates an epic feel, dresses the whole album in mood...for us, it's all about the mooooooood.

Work is still busy - Thanksgiving is next, and of course, since I did so great with Halloween, I am now in charge of coming up with Thanksgiving and Christmas campaigns. *roll eyes* The rest of the year will be quite busy for me...at least we have 3 4-day weekends each month thru January.

I need to stop for a minute and say once again: I am SO thankful that G is working here again. It was SO stressful last holiday season...him working from 3-11:30, not getting paid holidays, having to drive home after midnight all the way across town often on icy roads. That was a hideous, hideous time and I'm ever grateful it's over.

OH! And guess what? The people who were responsible for wreaking havoc on our offices two years ago? They BOTH are now GONE. They were [of course] given the "rich person's retirement," but they're GONE. The balance [of the force - heh] is finally moving into place.

I owe you guys some more downloads of my Halloweenie stuff! - LOTS of great feedback from everyone this week. We had a few SNAFUS come up, but all was easily remedied [and not my fault]. So...yeah, it's been a pretty good Halloweek!
