152: Very varied!

Interesting... I was expecting to eliminate more of these because of my fondness for hard alternative rock and Christian rock (despite the fact that I'm an atheist). Most people I know don't listen to video game soundtracks and classical music as often as I do, which may be what saved me. I love me some good ol' Gustav Holst. ;)

Halloween: Instead of handing out candy to the non-existent children I DJ'd at The Masqueradio Halloween Party. The times were downright awesome and the candy was unmissed. All in all, good times. There were some really freaky Egyptians yelling at guests but I think everyone escaped completely unharmed. Although, I did see a lot of blood but I think it was intentional. Righteous.
