Day 2,480: Whaddaweek

Bush.

Whacked.

Gawdam. I am absolutely dead to the world tired. I got in a DJ set with Liz, the first time I’ve played in two weeks, almost exactly. It was lit. We broadcast both on Twitch and Facebook, which was so fun. So. Fun. I had two weeks worth of new music to explore and play only the best-of.

Work was dope today. I crushed it. Got so much done. Still some to do, but I caught up. Whew.

Oh, and I wore my new red Niners hat and the A’s won AGAIN. They’ve won every game where I’...

Day 2,479: More Myself

I was more myself today than yesterday. Still…still very much bouncing up and off that wall I hit a couple days ago. But, I was less tired today. Yesterday I was so fracking tired. Not so much today.

I was still brain fried, though. I need a day or two off. Not that I’ll get that, exactly. Not unless I have a super, SUPER productive day tomorrow, which is possible, but man…it really depends on how much brain energy I have.

I didn’t have much of that today. I started off well, with a good w...

Day 2,478: Burning Out

Burning out right now, y’all.

Not bc anything bad has happened, thank baby Jesus. No…just too much work. Adding the building onto a full time work schedule has cut out all my recharge time, and that just takes a toll, ya know?

The good news: ain’t gonna last forever. Just a couple more days

Day 2,477: Oof

I am WIPED. Crazy long day.

Keeping the entry short tonight. I worked for 12 hours today. No writing sessions except for just now before bed, but at least I got that. It was just one of those days. Very, very busy.

Looking forward to a little less craziness tomorrow? Maybe? We’ll see.

Night, guys. Sleep tight. Don’t let the bedbugs hit you on the way out.

That’s the phrase right? Right.

Day 2,476: Falling In Place

My first scene is close. Really, really close. And I just had some ideas in my nighttime writing session on how to make things even more simple. Looking forward to writing tomorrow to get there.

No music today. That’s the tell! I suspected as much. My workload today was quite a bit bigger than normal, and that squeezed out my afternoon writing and playing music. Alas.

But, it was a great session this morning, I finished the scene (version 3), and I have a mind tonight on the next step. Sim...

“The Ambergris Element” (Star Trek: The Animated Series S1 Ep13)

Trek gets wet this week! We dive into a water world under siege from earthquakes and disease, talk about how great a voice Deforest Kelley has, and Josh–being the rhythm man that he is–realizes he can’t get down without a beat.

Day 2,475: Back on Track

I spent a lot of the day today doing work, actually. I got everything done I wanted to save take a shower, which I will make sure I do tomorrow. No sense in being stinky, ya know?

And, it’s funny, but that makes me feel much more back on track. I got more rest yesterday, physically, but my mind feels more rested today. And it really was because I was stressed out about getting these several tasks done, one of which I’d been putting off for a couple weeks.

Still a ton to do. It’s going to b...

Day 2,474: A Loop

This week. It’s all felt very much the same. Kinda hectic. Not too bad, for sure, no major problems, but just out of whack. Outside “normal.”

Same with today. To a degree. As I’m writing my entry tonight, I realize that I’m more FEELING out of whack than I am in actuality. Today was a pretty normal Saturday, to be honest. I did lend some emotional support today that was intense, so I’m sure that’s part of the out-of-ordinary feeling. This week, in general, though has been…hectic. That really ...

Day 2,473: Bing Bong

Slept in this morning just a little bit. Did the morning part of my workout.

Fed the pups, then immediately took a walk rather than sitting down to do my writing session first and then taking them out. Part of it was starting my day a little late (because I worked almost 12 hours yesterday), part of it was anxiety over finishing the rest of my work today, and part of it was surrender to this hectic week.

Got my work done. Had a meeting about how to request time off. Then went and played go...
