nyykiSo, It’s time for another update that someone will find two years after I wrote it, half-buried near a place nobody lives in after me and a friend or two went off to investigate something…
I finished Holly and the Wizards 3: A Lost Sister. I was a long way done with it before I dove back into it, so it wasn’t that hard, though I know that my definition of “Not That Hard” is potentially atypical, or at least I’ve been told this multiple times. #4 isn’t inspiring me yet, and since it’s time-concurrent with #3 maybe reading that one will help me to target plot points I want to hit.
I ran into a YouTube video about what season 6 of Stargate: Atlantis would have looked like, for the most part, and it’s caused me to miss that show, which hasn’t hit the video descriptive stage yet, though all ten seasons of its predecessor has, so there is a possibility – still I don’t hope much, letting things be as they are and adapting to that instead of pushing against things I have no power to control.
I’ve been sorting, clearing out, and organizing stuff into places where it belongs and where I can find it. I’m also working on that piece of music I’ve been mentioning, “Red Harvest Moon”, and I looked up the power supply for the keyboard that has the rhythm I used. I’m hoping that playing with that rhythm cranked up to at least 240bpm with the chords I remember will remind me of the melody I used way back then; if not, I’ll create something else – if I can’t then why did they give me my degree? I don’t like bench pressing theory, because I want the music I create to feel more organic – this is why I can respect the technique of Art Tatum or Yngve Malmsteen but not listen to them much at all because their stuff sounds dry to me.
I’m doing a balancing act in an effort to keep my head level – we’re diving into the holiday season, and that’s often hard on me because in all likelihood I’ll spend it with Dix and the roommate, though not so much the roommate because she’ll be out back almost all of the time smoking and drinking and YouTubing. My closest relative, my brother, has been spending part of the holidays travelling somewhere with his fiancée, and we haven’t done anything holidayish for at least twelve years – Dad was the driver of things like that, and there was a time span of at least seven years when they didn’t talk to each other, so it’s been a while.
I stumbled partway into how to set up playlists on YouTube. I consider this a good thing.
I think that’s pretty much the gamut of what’s going on with me for right now. Oh, nothing on a replacement infusion provider – yesterday was a week, so seven more of those to go before I get into a problem.
