  1. I decided that song fundamentally Did Not Need a guitar solo.

  2. So my old computer is broken beyond the aid of an HDMI cable, but the main storage drive appears to be undamaged. Once payday hits, I'll get a USB adapter for the drive and cross my fingers.

  3. That song I was writing a while back? The guitar solo is garbage and needs to be entirely redone. I also need smoother transitions between sections but I kinda already knew that, I just don't know *how* to do it.

      Sure, there are a lot of awful ones from back then, too, but I did some nice work once in a while. And my little collection of isolated riffs, little phrases that never found a home in a complete piece? Those are going to be so much fun.

      Writing music on a borrowed computer, I've felt a bit like an old wizard, who *had* a spellbook, who is currently having to make do with a blank notebook. I know enough to technically make it work, but all of my favorite tricks are out of reach.

      And it's even funnier because I'm in a very analytical mood, and have one piece of music to work with, plus two measures of another piece. Plenty of time, and the will to dissect things, but kind of a dearth of subjects.

  4. I feel like either I talk too much and push everyone away, or other people are actually incredibly busy with their own lives, and don't have the time to notice that I talk too much.

  5. You aren't a good person because you say you are. You are a good person because you behave in a manner consistent with goodness. (Defining goodness is a whole other kettle of fish, and I have neither the energy nor the desire to try right now)

  6. The world is not fair, but we can be. The world is not just, and so we must strive to be.

  7. I don't understand David Bowie fans who don't like Tin Machine.

      Like, if you don't like Bowie, I'd never expect you to like Tin Machine, and that's cool - it's music I like, but it's not for everyone. There are excellent musicians I don't like. I just genuinely do not comprehend liking David Bowie, in general - not just a specific song, or album/album grouping, but in general - and deriving no enjoyment from Tin Machine.

  8. I'm alternating between King of the Fairies by Waylander and Stronger Than You from Steven Universe. What a day to be my ears.

  9. A list of fun things to do on a Saturday night: Ride to the faraway mountains; Fight many goblins and trolls; Quest for the Hammer of Glory

  10. I think it's funny how my neck just sort of... retracts when I'm laughing. Like, this is hilarious, I need 20% less neck now? No you fool, my ears are giving me a shoulder-rub, put that back where you found it.

  11. What were they trying to keep out? Matt Damon. And tbh I wish they'd succeeded.

  12. You don't even know how much cheesy nonsense I type up in here and then decide that it's too dumb for your eyes.

      That is how I type things everywhere.

  13. With Steel/Ice pokemon, they'd better include a rival pair of a Steel/Ice Pokemon and a Fairy/Dragon Pokemon, just for the cold iron jokes.

      I mean I guess you could look at the new versions of Ninetales and Sandslash as "rivals," which k i n d a makes the cold iron thing work, but I'd prefer an actual Fairy/Dragon that can only stand its ground against Steel/Ice because of some funky ability or something.

  14. Literally the best rhythm guitar riff I wrote for that song I started last week is probably unusable in the context of that song.

      Aaaaand I screwed up one of the repeated sections and have to rewrite the main melody for it entirely. Weirdly happy about this.

  15. hahaha i love the little button on my profile that says "issues." not sure why it's empty, but that's okay. it can be full of lies if it wants to be full of lies.

  16. Hahahah everyone else keeps changing their names meanwhile I'm still recognizably that weird gremlin that dwells in OTC's sewers

      those scotty dog glasses i 'shopped onto a golden spoon were s i c k though.

  17. For years, whenever I heard someone calling someone else a clod, I thought they were saying "Claude." Like... Is this an anti-French thing? do you not like manservants? What is the deal?

  18. Jethro Tull is honestly the world's most popular Rahsaan Roland Kirk tribute band

  19. I forgot way more than I realized about songwriting. Still, that's why I started off with a simple piece.

      The last phrase of the main melody on this thing just completely falls flat, and I'm not sure what to replace it with to make this song work.

  20. I want a character with a giant boomerang, and I don't care about context.

  21. What did I do wrong, that Youtube is recommending System of a Down to me? Who did I hurt?

  22. No matter which one of us lives, the ground we're standing on will crack and blow away.

  23. I don't even have anything to say.

  24. ayy just a heads-up i'm not going to be online from Friday to Monday. Cat-sitting.

      my house is still going to be occupied though just in case any of you hooligans somehow know where I live and have a hankering to steal my impressive collection of broken electronics from the 90s. so, you know... don't.

  25. who needs a blog when i can just say terrible things right here. i think orange-flavored toothpaste is a great idea and you can't stop me
