today was pretty good!!! i won a couple bucks on the lottery (eight bucks from a $1 scratch off and five bucks from a $3 scratch off) so even though it's like, pennies in the grand scheme of things i'm a little happy about that. i've been gambling less recently but i don't wanna let winning a couple bucks cloud my judgement so i'm just like, not gonna let it.

beyond that, my band put out a new thing on FAWM! it's a rock song i wrote a few days ago from old music, like super old, 15 year old me old. lyrically it's sort of in the same vein as my song Overgrown which you probably haven't heard yet, weird trauma stuff related to suburbia and family things i can't talk about here. i actually wrote a live intro to overgrown on the 6th inspired by TMBG's songs Spine/Spines (which work as intros to the songs Memo to Human Resources and Au Contraire) recently! it does weird chord stuff i can't explain, i do like a ♭VI V i thing in B except instead of a minor i it's a major I and then i go around to make it sound like it's gonna resolve in D but then it goes back to this, and then it starts doing stuff in regular B minor and then i do a ♭VI V movement to lead back into the I which goes into overgrown.

i have no idea if any of that makes sense. i hope it does!!!!

uhhh i'm also gonna start taking walks today, or i guess when it stops raining (it's been raining basically nonstop for 5 days straight), because all i've really done for the past few months is write songs and apply to jobs and although that's fun that also comes with the caveat of me having done fuck all. and i feel sad about that and i forget i can take walks in my weird part of californian suburbia sometimes. so i'm gonna start doing that again!!!

i dunno how to end this. maybe i should start actually using the icon feature. also not my atom bomb by logan whitehurst rocks. that is all

didn’t do too much today so I don’t actually have anything to write about! but I wanted to make an entry anyways.

i might start writing rock songs again. my friends have been working on an album and it makes me realize that I miss writing rock songs, so maybe I’ll do that. i have real drums (sorta) and an electric guitar and a distortion pedal, that’s probably enough to demo stuff on my own. no bass is no problem but I really ought to get one.

actually, maybe I’ll write rock songs using my 4-track! I’ve been meaning to use it more, and if using type 2 tapes works out for FAWM (hopefully the one I ordered will arrive on the 5th or 6th) I might try to get my hands on more in bulk. sadly because my 4-track only does double speed I can only get 22 minutes of recording time out of a 90 minute tape, which for $15 is… kind of bad, but I imagine getting them in bulk will be a bit less costly.

dealing with bad brain/dysphoria stuff now so I ought to go to bed. see y’all around :]

lying in bed listening to my friend Juno’s cover of weird al’s hardware store. it rocks. i love her music.

didn’t really do too much today - I was gonna record a session of miserable Uno in Roblox with some of my friends but I felt really bad today, so I postponed it until next week. i feel cruddy about that but oh well, not much I could do. i feel better now though!

also, I called jay and we watched YouTube and talked about music stuff. i love her so much.

i should start doing more things. the day after tomorrow’s Sunday which is usually when I try to fit in a Bunnythumbs session. bunnythumbs is a thing my musical inspiration and internet friend Marc came up with, basically you record a song out of nothing within a 90 minute window with a few (or no) goals of your choosing. last week I tried using my recently acquired mandolin and a key change I’m not used to, and I was able to do that, which I’m happy about! not sure what I’ll do this week. maybe something keyboard related.

OH! also FAWM is next month. I’ll be doing that with Jay as part of our band/musical collective the Everfree Forest, so keep an eye out for that! it’s gonna rock.

love on ya.
