Almost weekend time! Salivating at the thought of... sleeping.
Just got through the last part of Gitano on marimba! That's two solos now!
Now I just need to get my accuracy a bit better. Lots of progress!
Plush animals are wonderful. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
"From up in the sky, they're just people... but from down here, they're just liars, cheaters, and thieves."
Vermillion Lies is a pretty awesome band.
I have made solid progress on my double lateral strokes on marimba this week.
I'll hopefully get Rain Dance recorded soon. And... I've started learning Gitano (from the same composer as Rain Dance, Alice Gomez).
The skill that I think I need to build next is interval changes in the middle of rapidly repeating double laterals.
I think that playing Psychobilly Freakout on marimba would be hilarious. Too bad I can't parse guitar tabs.
Never tell someone else how they feel. Ask. As much as you'd like to empathize, your take can always be off by a few important degrees.
Got all the notes memorized for a marimba solo piece... now just to work on accuracy and muscle memory some more!
Putting some long-overdue effort into marimba technique. It's an instrument that's always fascinated me, but life has kept me too busy to devote time to it.
I'm changing this!
Forget Elon Musk and his $600 flamethrower. You find the right shops and I can teach you how to make one for $5. Most entertaining way ever to light a grill or a fire pit.
Good day today. Got some new drum heads to replace worn and tearing ones on my kit, got them installed, and had a good time jamming out.
Also spending some time this evening really practicing marimba for the first time in forever. Chops are shot and my intervals are terrible, but getting up to speed again a little at a time.
Stuff me full of bourbon!
I keep browsing stuff about modular synthesizers... really debating if I should go down _that_ rabbit hole, or just get better at making bizarro-land stuff using entirely acoustic sources.
Microphones kick ass once you learn how the microphones you own can be manipulated to record things in unusual ways.
i hope both of these are true:
- homosexuality caused the fall of rome
- they're putting chemicals in the water to turn everyone in america gay
It severely pisses me off when corporate platforms flag queerness alongside spam and abuse.
Physical therapy kicked the living hell out of me today.
Hmmm. It's a new year and I'm still a grouch.
Undecided on if this is a victory or not.

I'm not finding much value in Fetlife these days. Finding events is a neat function, but all of the group forums are toxic sludge.
Feh.
