Progress

Yesterday I patched the 2 foot square hole in the wall (poorly but fuck it) and today I cleaned up the mess, layed down the vapor barrier, and started the painting but only did a little before saying fuck it for the day. But finally, some progress on the darkroom!

Just three more followers and I'll have a funny number

Oh wow haven't posted for a whole week. I have been playing a ton of Hades 2 and otherwise listened to the first four Temeraire books while wandering for hours around my new neighborhood. Surgery is Monday, hoping to finally make some headway on the darkroom this weekend

My new debit card arrived today, decided to celebrate by restocking on weed since I've been out for days, spent an hour on transit getting to my favorite shop...and the card is missing from my wallet. I paid for the bus and then just, lost it, poof, no more card anywhere

My Fitbit broke so now none of these steps even matter ugh

Oh hey Chicago, now booking shoots for early June. You might even convince me to head back out to this abandoned church

Whew, sounds like surgery is going to be soon, on May 5th, which means I'll be recovered enough to carry my gear so I can cover the Chicago Blues Fest for Blues at the Bean the first weekend of June, huzzah

Let me tell you about some other minions from the 1920s who were looking for an evil boss to serve...

Look at this baby

The photo exhibit on right now at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is insane, one of the best I've ever seen, highly recommend if you're in Boston. Check out this Dorian Grey-inspired self-portrait series by Yinka Shonibare!

Two days ago I was a successful amateur plumber, last night a successful amateur electrician. Today I patch some drywall holes. Getting closer to setting up the darkroom

Bahahaha oh the hubris. I am still like a week away from STARTING the darkroom setup. The chaos diminishes, but I am fighting to the death with both a toilet and an over the range microwave, and I must claim victory first, plus a little more unpacking #homeownership

Cheam

Hey Chicago friends, important news

Two weddings booked for next year, one in May and one in August. I kinda have this dream of shooting one wedding per month, every month, so uh, ten more to go I guess

Joey is driving home from a work trip

Oh good World War 3 is back on

there's just no way that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords could be even half as bad as this

My expectation for this war was 'everyone loses,' but to be honest, if those terms hold and Iran gets to pull in $40bn a year from the Strait to fund their proxies and build their nuclear program - if this is the deal - then honestly the Iranian regime simply...won.

I am absolutely wrecked over this shift in business model. They're a cooperative non-profit, really hoped that would make them more immune from this shit

The two truths: 1) There is nothing wrong with porn, let people safely make it, let people safely enjoy it. 2) If you let people define porn as bad, authoritarians will ALWAYS expand the definition until their hands are around your neck.

Just overheard the plumber fixing our downstairs bathroom, "Come on, get tighter for daddy," and let me tell you that hits different when it's real life and not a porno

Fuck I can't find my glasses, I knocked them off the bedframe while I was sleeping, and Joey is out of the house. Halp. I have been looking for 20 minutes, I am holding my phone two inches from my face to type this

Getting very excited to spend 6 weeks in Sweden this summer, making camp and making art. I am bringing so much film and so many plans. Also planning on a few days in Berlin and a few days somewhere else, maybe Paris? Maybe Glasgow?

This train smells like burning. That's probably fine

It’s not a plot hole that Elmo has been 3 years old for 50 years. He was bitten by The Count, willingly. Elmo asked for the Dark Gift

I have made a mistake, pushing this out in front of me. It isn't heavy, but I am still not allowed to lift things. Pls help I have trapped myself

This is an art account I swear. Gimme like, two more weeks to get the darkroom set up, then I'll prove it

This is genuinely a bombshell. All courthouse arrests should cease immediately. There should be a Congressional investigation & civil rights actions for every illegal abduction of immigrants trying to follow the rules and appear in court. (2/2)

Obviously a lot still needs to happen, but I have a sink!

Almost done painting my room, tomorrow I just need to go in and fix all the sloppy bits, of which there are many, because I am, and because the tape, it did nothing. But I think I like it! I am certainly not about to change it

This is my first time watching Twin Peaks, minus a false start years ago, and I think the thing that has surprised me the most about it is David Lynch made a soap opera. And he did it on purpose, there's a subtle wink early in the second season. And it's absolutely inspired

swiping left or right one someone's profile probably feels incredible if you do it on one of the big chunky knobs on this bad boy

Fuck I'm dead

The timing of this may seem weird given my last video and ~world events~ but what I'm really trying to do with these videos is to get folks who don't understand much about engines to get to where I'm at: These contraptions are insane and the only reason we don't think that is b/c we're used to 'em.

There's nothing there yet, but I registered heirloomprinting.com yesterday, for my archival/fine art print shop. Gonna be like six months before it's up and running but I'm excited

Mistakes were made, lessons learned, fun had. Two and a half walls down, one and a half and a ceiling to go, covering my new bedroom with Kilz primer because the previous occupant was a smoker, then I get to paint it all pretty

Man, Verizon has the worst customer service, but at least now, nearly a week after signing up, and genuinely on accident, the internet is now working at the new place, absolutely no thanks to anything they did

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is some of the best storytelling I have ever experienced, in any medium. Even people not into anime I think would love it, it has none of the annoying tropes. For fans of the fantasy genre especially. Still one more ep to go this season then I have to waaaaait 😭

Wow this sound guy has seen some shit

Started a lil baby dose of Adderal on an as-needed basis. Dropped the first time on Saturday and got so much done. Tried again today, and not so much. Some days the ADHD just wins, and my brain has been useless all day. Whomp whomp

Boycott Delta and any other airline found to be helping the gestapo

Realized yesterday that rather than aquire a whole bunch of woodworking tools and figure out where the hell to put them and what to do with the sawdust, I can just rent time at Artisan's Asylum for $40 a day. So, gonna sign up for a coupla classes and get tool checked!

Whelp, it's going to be 8-10 weeks before I can have surgery to repair my hernia, and in the interim I'm just dealing with it, no work, no exercise, just some hobbling around. Uuuugh

Confirmed yesterday that I'm Chief Bikeboi at Herrang again this summer, planning on going for the full six weeks, plus a lil before and after to see some folk and maybe make some art
