friday

even though i am not yet hired, i am feeling like i am only free 'for now'.

crazy how work, even the potentiality of it, divides up your life/ makes me feel like my life is being divided up, and that i possess less of it.

anyway i did 4 songs today, one of them was one i went back to, to brighten up one of the synths, and then the others were ones i've been meaning to get to. i think they all sound good, they're all pretty minimal re: fixing or whatever, just a lot of what feels like tightening, getting stuff a little sharper, getting some stuff louder.

now i am just listening to this:

makes me want to write more fucked up fast stuff again soon. i do have room for that still i'm pretty sure in the record so we'll see. writing riffs is fun and i miss it. maybe when i'm at this job i'll think about that more or something.

i wonder if i'll even be listening to music on my way to work, i don't want to take my psp with me and stuff, it'd be too much, and my phone has such little space it's so fucking annoying.

i also did read a chapter of wiseblood today, really nice to have the book around while i am just exporting stuff and waiting around.

i just listened to a bunch of the stuff i have randomly and i'm liking basically all of it. a common issue is the guitar synth things overpower a lot of stuff, so i can probably just drop them by like 1-2 db when necessary, and then maybe add some filtering to basses so they move out of the way of guitars more a bit. also i need the vox to be a touch louder, mostly.

here are some cute outfits i found from that one forum where people posted mag scanz:

spur:

the other half of that image is not anywhere, it seems like, but it's way cute, she's hanging out on a bunch of marshall amps, the katakana says "rock". very fun. imo.

fruits:

i really love the 2nd one, the like, dead animal makes it so weird/fucked, to me, i don't think we see that a lot, and it's probably okay if it's thrifted. idk. i guess the fact it intones some kind of cruelty/something offputting in an otherwise cute outfit is interesting + you don't see offputting as something fashion tries to be. she's probably not trying but something is. the bag too, it's so weird, in a good way, it feels like a real collision of things, the boots and helmet, it's a cool disaster.

and then more powerviolence:

these guys have kinda basic riffs but that makes picking them apart fun/easier, been a while since i've listened in that way, but it's also pretty good broadly, idk, it's imaginative in other sorts of ways, maybe i am just thinking too much about writing a 12 second long song or something, i wanna fuck around on my guitar again, just do stupid slide riffs where the shapes don't change at all, and then figure out fun synth bits.

otherwise right now i'm tired and maybe i should just get ready to sleep now, i'll post the postcard thingies tomorrow, i promise, honest, really, and maybe say more, but also maybe i'll get a lot of mixing done tomorrow, i hope i do. anyway

byebye!!!!!!!!!

*two sanses no one has seen before appear in the middle of the room, talking while they're both temporarily unaware that they've been teleported to a different universe*

(I was going to send a picture of how they look but media isn't allowed in asks I can see, but eh whatever)

Hope you don't mind me adding:

Start with guided body scans! Tuning into the physical body sensations is a great intro to meditation. From there, you can branch out into other forms

I don’t know who needs to hear this but:

(Traditional) meditation IS hard. and the classic meditation style you’re shown is advanced level.

I’m talking about seated, eyes closed, silent meditation, for long duration of times. Meditation is, above all, about removing the noise in your mind to get some answers and insight.

If you haven’t had much success with the aforementioned method, try meditating in the following ways:

Try lying down. Yes, it might make you fall asleep or be more acutely aware of some somewhat hidden issues (like pain, discomfort, shortness of breath etc.). But meditation is also about bringing those issues to attention to fix them. Meditation is also getting insight on your physical well-being 🤍

guided meditation

Meditating in small increments of time. Do it several times a day instead of in one stretch.

cleaning the house with no music

Stimming/doing a repetitive task (braiding, crocheting, painting, embroidering)

Taking a bath

Asking yourself questions first thing in the morning (credit to @VOIDCURATOR on Twitter). It looks like shadow work tbh, but asking unfiltered Q&A to really better your reality is SO good, and the most useful thing you can do for yourself.

Dancing

Removing the weeds in your potted plants

Petting or brushing your cats (silently)

Sitting by your altar (@VOIDCURATOR again)

Watching a candle burn

contemplating nature (sky, rivers, plants, etc.)

any activity that you can do in silence and put you "within yourself"

Enjoy yourselves guys, I hope it helps 🤍
