last night was host to several firsts and “firsts in a long time”
felt awkward, at times – happens
wasn’t the only way i felt
and…
through it all, i was able to be present and show up authentically – as myself, for myself
feels incredibly empowering
goes to show – it’s possible to be awkward and continue moving through it*
*circumstances may vary, dry legs not guaranteed
p.s. no one has to give you permission to pursue what you want – it’s up to you
go for it
eye spy
spent the afternoon buffering…
… tangentiafying…
HOT TIPS:
close project “windows” after a desk session (smoother landings when the runway is clear)
zoom way in
zoom way out
ok, bye bye!

let’s see where the night goes…
maxime. released their EP ‘Telephone Wires’ today – lovely surprise
feeling the impacts musically and from the embroidery cover art
me likey
a tidbit i want to remember about my buffering process, so far:
the tracks are diegetic – collected from the day, many from the environment
booming from someone’s garage, over the radio in the morning as the alarm goes off, at the store while running errands…
listening back – in the order in which they were collected – can be trippy
can’t say it will always be this way
just happy to have some sorta way at all
ok… bye bye!
11-18-2021
listened to a series of mixtapes today
it went:
bittersweet
goofy
choker
selvedge
Dust Devil
Highway Gothic
finished listening to Dust Devil while looking through “waiting room” stuff where i was re-introduced to photos i picked up at the Depot, earlier this year
(side note: clips from ‘Twister’ would make a sweet music video for “Glory Lightning”)
all this accompanied remnants of a lucid dream from last night
in my dream i was having an intimate conversation with someone i once knew – or, my minds projection of them
the sequence of mixtapes today helped make space to process – dreams, revelations, and other intangibles
hindsight and what-not
listened to a bit of the buffering set from a few nights ago (minus “Paradise Engineering”) while getting Depot photos together
still super geeked over maxime.’s “mads mikkelsen”
and the cover art… !
lunar eclipse is starting
catching glimpses here and there between the fog
nice nice…
incoming
listened to the record these shipped with, the other day
recorded some audio just before – caught some real cute little Simon sounds!
i love Simon…
i love kitties!!!
>^.^<
spent this evening buffering
listened to tracks i’ve collected since 11/7 – led by the aforementioned ear-worms and featuring a Turqouiz centerpiece
working on articulating what buffering is/has been, for me
it’s important, and not complicated – maybe i’m overthinking it…
in the meantime, i’ll leave a few crumbs – like the other day…
