So it’s true, then: A guitar’s G string will never be in tune for more than 5ish minutes. Fascinating. 🤨

People whose brains produce enough dopamine love to lecture those whose brains don’t, about dopamine “addiction.”

This really should’ve been the first tune I learned. Shame on me. youtu.be/Ddi2Ijf35ug?...

🎵Mouth is on fire, stitches are all black and blue, Strange what desire will make German doctors do, I never dreamed that I’d be somebody’s caboose, No I never dreamed I’d be eating second-hand doots Oh IIIIIIIIIIIII don’t wanna be the butt…

Okay, Halloween/horror porn ideas, let’s go! I’ll start with: The Legend of Peepee Hollow (or, Thiccabod Crane and the Uncircumcised Horseman).

Any time I feel like I’ll never be good at the guitar, I remember that Tommy Iommi lost two fingertips in an industrial accident, and then made himself new plastic fingertips out of a melted flower pot so he could keep playing. And then I feel like such a p***y that I shame myself back to work.

Another confession: I sometimes confuse Joe Bob Briggs with Joe Don Baker.

Confession: Part of my stated motivation to get a guitar with a whammy bar was to learn “Wicked Game,” but I actually only wanted to learn it so I can record a parody version I wrote about Human Centipede.

Okay, so string gauge does indeed make a big ol’ difference. Restrung my SG with these, which were recommended for Drop D tuning, and eff me do they feel and sound better. I have so much to learn.

Milestone achieved: Broke my first string, while trying to learn “Wasted Years” by Iron Maiden.

Dorian likes to snuggle up on top of my Sabbath patch. Cats can sense evil, and recognize it as comfy.

FACT: This is the absolute best song for a massive bar fight, especially if Kung Fu is involved. Science, prove me wrong. youtu.be/H9K8-3PHZOU?...

Time to cut my hair. I like these styles, but one thing is clear: To pull any of them off, I need to muscle up and possibly grow a beard. And since I can’t grow a beard that isn’t hilarious, I’d better get exercising.

Fuken… Wow. youtu.be/tVZw7vQGR30?...

46 years on this horror-soaked space pebble. This is my anthem now. It should be yours, too. Time for life and rock n’ roll. youtu.be/8-we4aXo_NM?...

This remains one of the most joyful and excellent things I’ve ever seen. youtu.be/FxSlzCEmFhI?...

Pete Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines into Los Angeles. Make no mistake: this is a declaration of war against the United States.

Nummers.

I am naught but a sentient mattress for my cats.

Picked these up on a whim, and so far they’re my favorite pick to use. By a good margin, too. I don’t have enough experience yet to understand *why* I like them so much, but whatever. Dava delrin grip-tips, if you want to try them out.

These are my guitar pick buddies, Devy and J. One whispers that I should get a Framus someday, the other says I should get a Steinberger. Neither enjoys listening to me practice, however.

“Why… when you can just walk away?”

Someday… Someday.

There are so many starfish on the beach, but if I can help a few then it's all I can do. Dear friend of a dear friend of mine has a kitty that could use some help. gofund.me/b17da998
