Day 2,373: Myself

Feeling more like myself.

Today wasnt a zero day, but it was a tough one. Kind of. At least in terms of what Id planned to do, writing-wise. But, I was inspired this morning, and so I sketched out a little scene that was further into the story than what Im working on right now.

Really, what threw me is that I was so freaking tired this morning when my alarm went off. Like, unusually tired. I dont know if I got crap sleep for some reason, or what, but I was going to be groggy, cranky, and not...

Day 2,372:

Im listening to a draft of a set that Im putting together to play live and record at some point. I meanI guess I just did play it live and record it, but its just a draft at this point. It was the first time I played it through from beginning to end, and it needs work. It starts great, but it ramps up too quickly, and the last third or so needs some editing, tracks removed, tracks added, etc.

Its going to be dope, though.

Trance. I love trance. Its epic. Melodic. It bangs. Good stuff. Theres...

Day 2,371: A Great Day

I had a great day today.

I felt like me again. And I think it was as simple as having a very specific, very doable goal for my writing this morning, which I exceeded, and thatman. It really set the tone.

I was focused with my work after that. Did my reading in the late afternoon. Walked the dogs, and then I was done. Work was over. I felt really, really accomplished.

Such a simple fix. Huge result.

We watched Civil War tonight, continuing our Marvel Cinematic Universe rewatch. Its sooooo...

Day 2,370: Mission Accomplished

I had a mission today. Well, now that I think about it, I actually had TWO missions today

My first was quite simply to organize my to-do list that I felt was kinda weighing on my shoulders unresolved for the past couple weeks. Id written it down in my Notes app, but had yet to transfer it over into my task app I use, OmniFocus. So, I did that.

With that came the resolve to vacuum and mop the whole house. Its not really mopping since we have laminates and use a swiffer wet jet instead, but...

Day 2,369: Crushing the Curve

Was just discussing with Liz how New Zealand is the place to be right now. Theyre re-opening their economy because they were able to get the virus under control so quickly. Certainly, they were a bit lucky, but also certainly its because they acted with precision and swiftness. Thats good leadership.

Theres so much money in our politics. Our government doesnt work for us. They work for the money. Its an entirely different system filled with entirely different people. I honestly dont know how...

Day 2,368: Solid

Solid day.

Work was a success. Got a lot done.

I figured out how to fix my computers iCloud sync issue.

Walked the pups with Liz in the evening, then we watched Ant-man as we ate dinner. Underrated movie. Not perfect, but super solid.

DJd for an hour and got some great music in there.

Solid writing session this morning! First chapter is nearly done.

Did some listening to my live exploratory mix and some editing of tracks. I have the beginnings of a good set! Techno is home base for me. Its...

Day 2,367: Up and Down

I had an up and down day today.

It started a bit down. I was sitting in my office realizing that I hadnt sent off this thing I bought and was returning yet, and it was really stressing me out.

I had this vendor ship me something that was supposed to be brand new, but it arrived with packing tape over where the factory seal wasor was supposed to be, and when I removed the packing tape, I could see it was actually an open box, AND taking the tape off damaged the box in the processso thats why I...

Day 2,366: Filled Up

I always feel recharged after podcasting. Filled up.

Its exhausting, dont get me wrong. But, exhausted isnt the same as depleted. Not at all. Sometimes when were our most tired is when we filled the most filled or inspired or just content.

Writing was good today. I was able to drop in and just do it. Im almost done with this particular scene, then I move onto the next. Im afraid they both need some editing and rewriting, but goddamn if I dont think I can totally do that.

AnywayLiz played a...
