if i can figure out a way to work on music despite all the hand pain & joint issues, i'd be extremely happy. i still constantly write stuff in my head but my hands don't work well enough for all the menus on M8 very often. any MIDI controllers that work well?

like we all get off-beat sometimes, but this was just entirely without rhythm. if you're using a computer, get a midi controller & learn to finger drum. if using a mixer, get good with a fader too (can still use finger drum skills on roland video mixers)

i hate when i see a clip of someone playing live & the visualist is not only not on-beat, it looks like they don't even realize the track HAS a beat

gotta love how soft a shirt is after 22 years. that was a good day, saw kid606 & dj/rupture, plus my alesis airFX showed up earlier that day and i met a woman i'm still friends with all these years later

sometimes i remind myself that not all fox news viewers are evil by remembering that one of my former coworkers legitimately believed they were fair & balanced (in the mid-2000s) until i tipped him off to some of their bs. super nice guy, but extremely trusting

just for fun, here's a 2-minute sketch of a cat done on my shitty phone from ~3.5 years ago

i've been having a terrible year (or three, or eleven, or...) & i keep shutting down more. it seems like my options are either that or driving people away by over-sharing. :/

just Photoshop CS3 Extended works too, since newer versions don't work for a lot of the video stuff i use it for. pretty sure CS6 does what i need in Premiere & After Effects, so i think i'm good there but Photoshop CS6 changed how it works with video files significantly

does anyone have the version of Adobe CS3 Extended Master Suite that doesn't require their (now deactivated) server activation? i missed the period where you could get the download from Adobe & can't reinstall (so i'm stuck with it only being on 9+ yr old computers)

haven't been reading comics much lately, but the current political situations around the world really make me want a Magneto Was Right shirt

one weird thing about my life right now is that my med supply is usually my most valuable possession in $$$. my migraine meds alone would cost >$1000 each month w/o medicaid. please call Republican Senators (dems too) and encourage them to vote against the budget bill, before they gut medicaid

had trigger point injections yesterday, allowed myself to get optimistic that they'd help the pain levels. so far, all it did was make my neck muscles slightly less tense :/

it's way more worrying hearing gunshots in suburban or rural areas than cities. in chicago, even the times i heard full-auto bursts in the 90s, i always knew there was a fuckton of brick & concrete between me & the danger. out here, just a bunch of wood so that gunshot 1mi away might be an issue

weird that narcan isn't always prescribed to anyone prescribed opioids longer than 2 weeks, just to be safe. pain-management gave me some, makes sense w memory issues though i've learned i'm more likely to forget meds than take them twice. only took (checks notes) 10.5 yrs. chronic pain sucks btw

the good news is that this seems to mean i wasn't getting anywhere near all the med marijuana in my lungs but now... well, definitely helps w/ the pain more than it has been lately. food & water would get stuck somewhere too, was weird coughing up water you drank hrs earlier

been having issues w my throat for ~10 yrs, had multiple doctors say everything was fine. yesterday morning, i coughed up a small splinter of wood. no fucking idea how/when i inhaled that, very glad it's out. now at least my throat feels better than it has in years. that's how my birthday started :(

does anyone else think it's strange that Jesus came back from the dead only to briefly say hi to a few people before taking off? if i ever come back from the dead, i'm hanging out for at least a few weeks. starting to think this story might not be 100% accurate (or he hated his friends)
