My dog typically destroys plushie toys but he just got this lamb chop that he LOVES and it’s so cute.

One of my coworkers just came back to work after 3 months off & announced to me that she doesn’t believe in the moon landing anymore.

This is gonna be a long shift.

Applying to jobs like “Hello, I am nearly 40 & have had so many different types of jobs, I know how to job, give me one job please.”

Having fun with synthesizers & old movies again…

Here, have some weird Beethoven techno. 😁🎹🤘

It’s been awhile since I’ve just sat down in my music room to make some noise & see what happens. This feels like a good day to get back into that.

I was hesitant to start “A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms” because I assumed it would be dark & depressing but I just watched all 4 available episodes & had a great time. The tone is different than the other two shows, which is refreshing. It doesn’t rely on CGI & also it’s funnier than I expected!

Forever trying to find the balance between staying informed & endlessly scrolling. It’s so hard to do without just throwing my phone into the ocean (which I do not want to do, that would be bad for the fish & also bad for me because then I wouldn’t have a phone).

Please enjoy this photo of my dog Prince being sassy.

Cleaning out my closet & finally put all of my “performance attire” into a storage bin.

(For context, I used to play in a Bowie cover band. I haven’t for about two years.)

Was thinking about how much I miss playing out & realized I mostly just miss having a group of friends that I see weekly. 😂

Yesterday I was going to exercise & instead I made focaccia bread & ate it with a big bowl of pasta, which might actually be the exact opposite of exercising.

I keep thinking it would be fun to make some weird music inspired by Myst & Riven using samples from the games. 🤓
February 2, 2026 at 11:18 PM
Finished my nostalgic play-through of the original Riven. Beat the game & then got to enjoy the prize, which is this end credits music. 🤘

At work there’s a whiteboard in the kitchen where the cook writes the lunch special everyday. Today under the date it said “Ground Hog Day!” And for a minute, I forgot that today is Groundhog Day & I just thought the cook was getting wild with the special. 😂

Anyway, happy Groundhog Day.

Went to the symphony last night & there was an older woman in front of me pumping her fists in the air at the end of Grieg’s piano concerto, which was incredibly heart-warming & also probably the only correct response to Grieg’s piano concerto. That one is a banger from beginning to end. 🤘🎹

Planted some tomato seeds inside today, good luck little guys! 🍅🌱💪

From the inevitable sober corner at the function:

Guy drinking ginger beer: So one time I blacked out & ate a live lizard.

Me drinking non-alcoholic IPA: I get hangovers from simply eating French fries, everything in life gives me a headache.

BEING 38 IS COOL. 🤘

Forced myself to be social last night & had a good time but now I get to spend the next 48 hours replaying every word that came out of my mouth & critiquing my horrible smalltalk skills, nice! 🎉

Reminder that even though a total economic blackout is a great idea, rent is due soon & a lot of small businesses can’t afford to close. If you’re spending money today, have it be at a small business & pay cash!
A lot of places in Portland are donating a percentage of their earnings today to PIRC.

New Hällas album is out & everything I’ve heard from it so far is fantastic. If you like epic prog rock, give it a listen. 🤘

Went to Costco yesterday & now I’m living in a world of snacks.

Rediscovered this Richard Dawson album & have been listening to it this week. It’s a bit intense but it’s so good!

Today’s snippet is another scene in a recording studio (which is where a lot of this story takes place).

People who like experimental, ambient, and/or noise music, what’s the funniest thing you’ve ever mistaken for part of the music you were listening to?

For me, I think it was the time my phone got disconnected in the car without me realizing it & I listened to five solid minutes of radio static.

There’s a magical land that my characters travel to in my novel & I’m still figuring out exactly how that all works, but here’s a snippet from Russell’s first trip there.

I think we all need to come up with something new to say to each other that isn’t “How are you?” or “How have you been?”
