i had walentineโs day off, and i decided to get drunk and go for an adventure. i ate some wheat, foolish me. feel like iโve been poisoned! hungover for days. hahaha. oh well, oh well. fever, clog and doubt. i hope weโre all learning some lessons.
why are half the youtube videos in my next up a man looking somber into the camera with his hands clasped with the caption โWhy I stopped eating rice krispies after midnightโ. โจstaring at me with the eyes of an apology video โWhy Iโll never look at the moon againโ
my op-1 field started dying, gotta send it back to Sweden. i tried to fix it and made it worse. iโll be getting something new for our trip to Lizard. itโs next friday. the next update will come from the bottom of englandโs tail end.
watching some recently uploaded rap battles. soul khan still has it.
itโs so much work to figure out who you are. when something is so beautiful that you canโt quite express it, thatโs about as good as you can feel. i watched all of this manโs videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSpl4DVFsQU. i really highly recommend it. they are strange and unspeakably beautiful. i am in love with this man.
my days and nights have been spent organizing samplepacks and making multisample synths and kits so that when i get the Synthstrom Deluge i will hit the ground running. iโve forked the firmware and added a patch.
that balance between what you need and what you wantโฆ thatโs hard, but itโs nothing compared to balancing your short term from your long.
i joined the discord voice chat dev huddle for the Deluge open source project. it seems very cute. iโm a really big fan of these people, and of this software and hardware. many are trannies.
iโve learned that if you believe that everything will turn out well then in the bad times youโre like โthatโs ok! iโm just getting to the good times!โ and in the good times you say โhell yeah! told you so!โ
tonight i went out for a walk with a microphone. i needed to pee so i hopped on a train. i hopped off at the next station. i played the piano. i met a man whoโd once successfully pleaded not guilty against charges under the obscene publication act. he didnโt introduce himself to me that way, but i independently learned that to be true. he was very kind and interesting and friendly and i promised to come over to his house and make him a cup of tea. he will introduce me to his pianist. and i finally went to Lebanese Express #1. fine vine leaves at that restaurant.
and itโs hard to give somebody what they need if it isnโt what they want. or what you want.
i hope iโm well enough to work tomorrow. but if iโm not well, well, thatโll work.
itโs 1am, by mistake. iโll eat a little snack and drink a little more and then wake up where iโm sitting now. this weeksโ gonna be stupid but next weekโll be fire.
happy valentine

iโm in the back of a taxi cab. the tunnel is closed under the water. thereโs so much traffic that our driver has started playing music. i didnโt notice until then that Bolt cabs rarely have music playing? he asked permission? weโre all listening to madhur sharma now. our driver is singing along.
many congratulations to lb. iโm so happy to see you so happy.
a thing thatโs been happening stops happening tomorrow, itโll be better after. lucky numbers is out on wednesday. iโve started working on the new e.p. already, itโs got a couple good songs on it too. been listening to bjรถrk and 90s ny hiphop and nola bounce. cameron paul brown beats on repeat. need to get my hands on a QY70 and sit on the rocks at the end of england and tell a story.
sometimes when she is falling asleep she starts shaking like sheโs about to turn into a bigger pokemon. the big highlight, of course, is that guy in the alley with the trenchcoat and cane and the stony expression showing no fear locking our eyes, smoking his cigarette and listening to 40s music from an invisible speaker. if life is a tv show we are all extras except for that guy.
reminded of OpenCola by Cory writing in the pink paper. thereโs 100 metric tons of legal coca leaf sitting in a factory in New Jerseyโจ.
my shoulders hurt, so iโm going home to see my mattress about a nap. tomorrow will be a better day than yesterday and yesterday was pretty good.

one for sorrow, but magpies mate for life. if you look closely you can find the joy.
quiet week. ate some pickles. went home and picked up a cookbook. i released lucky numbers, itโll be on iTunes and streaming services on feb 14th. put it in your calendar. pre-save it on spotify. or buy it on bandcamp if you canโt wait. itโs as good as the cover. so will the next one be.

we listened to quiet party on the tv
booked a little holiday. going away at the end of feb. going to Lizard, Cornwall. the bottom of england, the southernmost point. itโll be good. spend a few days doing nothing, nowhere. spend a few days doing everything else. itโll be good.
we watched season 1 of lodge 49 this week, itโs my favourite television programme. iโve watched it a lot of times now. on friday night we broke our diet for a day and ate some chocolate and a v tasty vegetarian burrito from the highly ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ cafe mexicana. then we drank some hard seltzer, ate some mushrooms and went to soho. we had a drink at a bar and then went home again. i nearly fainted on the central line but i held it together and sang.

saturday was slow and quiet. iโve been in a strange place and trying to fix it. i went home on friday night to see what space felt like. we talked on the phone and then watched episode 1 of lodge 49 season 2 then z came over with a suitcase full of pillows. in the morning we went to see wonka on Rhysโs recommendation. i never really expected to see Wonka, but iโve never seen Rhys more animated about anything in his life than when he was talking about Wonka. at the time his passion seemed so uncharacteristic, but not anymore. he was right, Wonka is great. i cried and was wet and then went home.
now iโm lying in my bed thinking about how nice it would be to eat several hundred sandwiches, thinking about packing a suitcase, thinking about making some music, thinking about camden market, thinking about reading a little or writing, thinking about lime and parsley, quiet party. thereโs 3% battery life left in my computer so iโll post this before it dies.

so baaaaaaaasically everybodyโs bullying me just because iโm so cute and popular
whatโs the cutest place in england to go to in february/march? maybe corn wall
i havenโt fixed lucky numbers yet, but iโve made a album cover. i think i need to release it with fewer songs, because iโve lost faith in some of them. weโll see.
london graphics centre. picked up a few books. a midori md paper grid notebook, sakura pigma micron pen, pair of tombow brush pens. zz got the same but the paper is ruled. we wandered around soho imagining what if we lived here. 1 bed in the middle of soho. local station: tcr. local park: hyde. nice night. kitchen table. seinfeld.
nice week. good week, yes. not much to report. silly stuff during the day. good stuff at night, good stuff in the morning. long saturday, we walked and walked. 20,000 steps. iโve been making these omelettes where you beat 4 eggs w/ 60g greek yoghurt + 40g mozzarella cheese. rly good, flufy. lucky made it on saturday. it was great. qima for coffee. green valley for groceries.
thursday was nice too. beautiful morning, weird afternoon. akub for dinner. very nice. made something like that milfuf wedge / garlic yoghurt for lunch on sunday with pomegranate seeds. etymonline says โpomegranateโ means, like, โapple with a lot of seedsโ or, like, โseedy appleโ. cabbage w/ yoghurt + apple with many seeds seeds.
steadily improving with little dips.
