Prepping for the table read of the libretto for THIS IS JANE, listening to the excellent playlist for North of North. Libretto-writing course participants are sending in amazing ideas and work. And the dogs are out getting cleaned, which means they'll come home smelling like pina colada.

A character in a book I’m reading just said “such great heights“ so that’s where my brain went. Have a nice earworm.

Went thru my records, inc. ones I inherited from my parents. If you’re in the Houston area and are in need of The Limelighters, Joni James, very early Andre Previn, Richter playing Bach, a bunch of classical compilation albums, or Roger Whittaker, lmk.

My dad didn't like The Mamas and Papas, so my mom only played her records when he was out of the house and she was cleaning. I'm cleaning in my office and it's nice to be thinking of her today.

On Friday the 20th at 4 am (!) central, I'll be giving my paper ‘Whistling in the Dark: The Sonic Landscapes of MR James’ Seaside Settings’ at the Unquiet Shores conference. It's been really fun writing this presentation and getting to re-read a ton of James' stories.

The local radio blues show I usually listen to on Sundays (Nuri Nuri, 90.1 KPFT) isn't on so I'm playing my mom's old Mamas and Papas records. The nice thing about using a record player is I have to get up every 30 mins to flip/change the record.

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

ON TOP of the ethical reasons to not use AI, it's also 1) bad at what it does 2) literally makes you stupider 3) has HUGE environmental costs: every search is equivalent to pouring out an entire bottle of water. It's not worth it to generate a cutesy emoji or have it write an error-riddled draft.
