Day 2,284: Whadda Day

Good lord. So wiped. It’s 1am

So we’re keeping this short. Solid writing. Good not great. Work was great. Got everything done I needed to. Podcasting was great. And exhausting.

And now it’s time to rest. The weekend is here, and I’ve earned it

Day 2,283: Care Package

Today, you guys, was a solid day.

I was in a funk last week. And a bit early this week. I’m officially out of it now. Feeling better. Feeling more even-keeled. Feeling more myself.

I was nervous, honestly, about moving to working with a new editor. It’s just change, you know? An unknown. I didn’t know how it was going to go.

We met today for our first real session together and it went great! Like…really good. I got everything out of it that I would get from my sessions with J. It was...

Day 2,282: Techno

Damn. I have to make it a quick one tonight because I totally spaced that I need to do some writing work before tomorrow morning when I meet with my neeeewwww editor

Day 2,280: Techno

Day 2,281: Little Snores

Coco is snoring right now pressed up into my torso. She stared at me while I was brushing my teeth because she wanted me to come to bed. Then as soon as I did, she snuggled into my side, fell asleep, and started snoring.

She’s still having tummy problems. Another blowout today. Liz took her in to see the doctor and we’re trying a different food. See how she does. She’s also lost more weight, which is frustrating because we’ve been feeding her a little extra. That, I think, may be as simple as...

Day 2,280: There Is A Sound…

There is a sound that SciFi film scores have.

I’m listening to Max Richter’s score for Ad Astra right now. The track is “Journey Sequence” and it has woodwinds, I think, playing this twinkling melody with some strings underneath for droning support…and it sounds like so many science fiction fillms.

This isn’t a bad thing. It sounds like space.

It sounds vast, and cold, and a little bit lonely, and a lot of filled with awe and wonder. Which is what I imagine space to be like.

So, you know, it’...

Day 2,279:

Watching Tanya Tucker sing right now at the Grammy’s. She’s a legend.

Decently busy Sunday. Time to go to bed now

Day 2,278: Way Back When

Listening to a very old DJ mix of mine right now. It was my third ever, and my first I did using Vinyl.

I recorded it using my turntables, which I’d bought using my first ever credit card. This was my freshman year in college. I went to New York that summer, and I spent a day shopping at a place called Satellite Records where you could play the records before buying them. I shopped in the progressive house section, and damn…

I picked up some good shit that day. Tracks I love to this day....

Day 2,277: Early to bed

It’s 10:05 on a Friday and yup. I’m in bed. I was falling asleep on the couch watching the Warriors get beat by the Pacers.

I’m so old

Day 2,276: So Late

Damn. It’s so late.

Have to be up in 7 hours. Blerg.

Decided I wanted to watch Picard tonight with Liz and Josh before we recorded our Film School episode. Don’t regret that at all…but it is stressful that I’m getting to bed so late.

Picard is not great.

I’ll watch it because Patrick Stewart still has it. So does Brent Spiner, actually. He was still great as Data, cgi de-aging and all. And we’re going on an adventure. It has that, which I’m definitely here for.

But, it’s not great. It still...
