introduce yourself with 10 bands you've seen live (just off the top of my head, plus self-imposed rule of not including shows i worked) pinback toe hop along califone ichiko aoba bomb the music industry! portrayal of guilt sadness + life spirit of the beehive model/actriz

it's time for me to admit to myself that i will purchase and play ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies the moment it comes out, because i simply need to know. i need to know if it gets better than that demo section. i need to know if they can pull it off.

my wife spent an hour and a half writing a two-paragraph application to a storefront rental for her business, had me look at it to make sure it was good, then got in bed and fell asleep seconds later at 3:45pm

We're thinking about potentially reviving your joie de vivre through several various methods

i love how when it rains it pours

just wanna thank everyone who boosted and/or donated, it really warmed my heart to see friends and strangers come together to help out my friend. we've got some people visiting him tomorrow, and hopefully i'll have some good news to share eventually. anyway, thanks again.

my friend and coworker baraka was abducted by ice. it would mean a lot if you could share this around and donate if you're able. thank you. gofund.me/e207a23a8

There is nothing more intimate than this.

i'm halfway through earthsea 1, but it's a buddy read so i can't keep going yet. i'm halfway through malazan 7, but i'm not in the mood today. i'm also not in the mood for the kafka collection i'm chipping away at. i need a break from bolaño. i stared at my shelf for half an hour straight, but idk!!

i like watching my nail polish grow out in that picture thread of books i finished

tony hawk pro skater 1+2 2: 3+4

listen, man. i know money's tight. we've all gotta cut corners where we can, and $5.80 is a great deal for a shirt, i totally get it. but you're reeeally starting to become the "woot shirts guy" around the office...

cool spreadsheet my gf made. i love her so much. this is also exactly how i experience time btw

i know this hasn't been a novel thing to say in 11 years, but a. g. cook is probably the closest thing i have to "transition goals"

there are many reasons i haven't gone back to ffxiv in a couple years, chief of which is that in order to play evercold i'd have to play dawntrail first. you can rework the dye menu all you want, it'll never be enough to rope me back in

Hot nuns are interesting

taking fifteen bathroom breaks during my shift, on account of every food-related choice i've ever made in my life converging on me all at once in my 30s

it's 2026, a west coast tour can be four shows in california. love is love

i went to a record store and was like "ooh, i got paid today, but i shouldn't buy any records. i'll be good today!" and then i went home and got hit with two vinyl release emails that i immediately turned into vinyl order confirmations

Can't believe they made the Star Fox cast unfuckable.

apologizing profusely at the door of the synth shop, as i brazenly enter to peruse the wares despite not having $4,000 in readily available disposable income

i've read 15 books so far this year, i'm starting to think maybe i should try writing one. or writing something, anything

ME: You're a world class expert in all domains. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Never hallucinate or make anything up. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval BAR BACK TRAINEE: How do you carry three trays at once like that? ME: You just kind of do it.. It hurts

realizing suddenly and with great urgency that i have nothing to say

Cigarettes Cigarettes

a lot of thought goes into "which book do i bring to work today." unfortunately i only want to read shit that makes me look like an asshole. nobody wants to be friends with the bouncer who reads kafka on the clock. it's a bad aura to farm.

i've been reading reaper's gale, the seventh malazan book, and it's one of my favorites so far. i'm about a third of the way in, and he really kicked up the "dark elf edgelords talking like sephiroth" quotient for this one. there's like five separate guys who are doing batman shit, it rules.

i saw chungking express for the first time last night. very cool movie. i was struck by how much the two leading men are lovesick sweetie pies with no game. i can strongly relate to setting your voicemail password as "undying love" and moping around yearning for women who are very likely to kill you

to all the haters who said i couldn't whimsically read a whole 200-page book on a sunny sunday afternoon... how's it feel to be wrong as hell...

bussing tables after the bartender puts on a deep house playlist

i love english. the word "run" has 645 meanings. you can't help but feel excited by that

genuinely a super easy to use tool that also *really* highlights how expressive Unbeatable's mechanics are. can't want to see people make more crap like this.

if you ever show me a meme i'll kill you

you'd think this is a little over-the-top for an online certification to check IDs at a bar. but you never know

putting in all my guestlist requests, and time off requests for touring, and scheduling sound tech shadowing shifts, and it's looking like i'm going to be at a concert in some capacity every night for the rest of my life...

reading kafka, just to see what all the fuss is about. when you read him in middle school he's super boring, but when you read him as an adult you realize he's actually very funny

i got a midi keyboard with lil drum pads, plus a sustain pedal for it. nothing can stop me now

i famously deleted all my video games so they won't distract me from music, but today is my first day off in 6 days (3 of which were intense/long metal fest shifts) and i kind of just wanna play a fuckin video game all day!!

if i found a winning lotto ticket on the ground i'd get really into tiny/cute/weird/gimmicky synths like the minichord ($173) and hichord ($349) and op-1 ($1,999)

coworker: you want a break? me: oh, i wouldn't say no to a break ... different co-worker who didn't notice my first break, 2 minutes after i got back: you want a break? me: oh, i wouldn't say no to a break

getting off work at 4am for the third night in a row and immediately putting The Waters Of March (Album Version) on repeat and smoking fifty cigarettes in my car

(zenfully) i don't need to buy audio plugins off instagram ads 🧘‍♀️

i'm giving up on getting a pm position and going to start shadowing one of our audio engineers, so i can hopefully get the job i should've just kept doing after high school. she said she "would love to help another woman get ahead in the field," which obviously felt amazing to hear

heavy metal music will make you feel better. standing next to a dumpster on the sidewalk with a book, a coffee, and a pack of cigarettes will make you feel better. tiktok, tv, and social media will never make you feel good. you need to learn piano. you need to smile at a friendly dog out for a walk.

the new portrayal of guilt came out today and, in addition to being among their best material, it's unreal how good phillip odom's production is. it makes me want to pivot my career toward being a recording engineer, i've never heard anything so disgusting and evil before

me all day: i'm going to drive my car off a bridge... new gay coworker introducing himself to me: you have really nice skin me: ...maybe things ain't so bad

i've got that kind of depression where my eyes are welling up with tears like i'm listening to a eulogy even though i'm just driving to work like normal
