Be a percussionist, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. Ok it IS fun, but I like to snark about how much time I spend schlepping. I wouldn’t trade it.

Tonight’s office. A church hired me for a couple of services.

Rehearsal: 40:00 driving, 30:00 load-in/setup/teardown/load-out, ~8:00 playing.

I hate that it's been so long since I released any new music. But here's my first officially finished track in.... I don't even know how long any more. Hopefully you'll hear it some time on @nightvaleradio.bsky.social but until then, you can hear it here.
Thanks to @nightvaleradio.bsky.social opening up Weather submissions, we got the mojo to finally start cleaning up some old demos. First finished track in ages now at thehybiscusjournals.bandcamp.com/track/gelori...

Special thanks to @thomthenacho.bsky.social for guidance on the finishing touches.

Me: I’m going to attack this list of things I’ve been putting off for the last month because busy.
The boys: Yeah, about that.

Happy #caturday.

I swear this year’s monsoon is like the gifted kid stuck in “normal” class. Started early and strong, got bored and slacked off most of the semester, then suddenly realized report cards are coming so is trying to cram in extra credit work to make up for slacking.

Alarm because dentist, dentist, Covid shot, voted, grocery shopped… I don’t think this is how vacation days are supposed to work.

I’m taking a mental health week. Made it up the mountain for a hike today. So many wildflowers. And some teeny tiny acorns.

Same in AZ. Saw a headline yesterday (I think) about our governor demanding a blanket rx for all AZ residents but I haven’t looked further than that.

Sometimes you truly need some downtime to recover from all the things. Sometimes you’ve had too much downtime & need to kick your ass into gear to fucking do something. Anything. I know which side of that line I’m on right now. I don’t like it. Also don’t really feel like doing anything about it.

Despite my year+ Amazon boycott, a friend has their first book out and that’s the only place I can get it. Amazon offered me a month of Prime for free, so here I am. What’s some good sci-fi/fantasy that I would’ve missed over the last year? Yes I’ll catch up on WoT and Rings of Power.

Keep putting your Good out there. You never know who might see it, pick it up, run with it, and build some Good of their own with it. #MacAdmin #MacAdmins #JamfAdmin #JamfAdmins #Jamf

Weird (good weird, FINALLY) thing this morning. Searched about A Thing for work, clicked a promising looking blog post... and discovered that one of my @jamfsoftware.bsky.social Tech Thoughts posts had been an inspiration for something cool that someone else built. mostlymac.blog/2022/12/01/u... 1/2

I can’t tell yall how happy I am to be able to play my Rhodes again. Yeah my laptop with MainStage and a MIDI controller are easier to move but they’re not the same.
My 1982 Rhodes Seventy-Three is finally singing again for the first time since… probably 2009. Super excited to have found a local dude who works on vintage keys. Don’t think he’s on Bluesky but you can find him at thelonious_skunk_keys over on the IG. Thanks man!

Shit’s hard right now. Sometimes things suck. Sometimes they suck for a long time. Sometimes the best we can do is hope the light ahead isn’t another god damn train. Sure are a lot of trains though…
I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them.

Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.
