stupid first world achievements and successes

Sounds good Zephyr 

Thanks mang.

I finally dusted off my gear and started making music again. It's worse than ever 

last night we had a show at work. daniel menche, Xambuca, Die Angel.  everybody was super nice. It was good. loud. i did sound. everybody happy. the sets were dope. we were at capacity for the store. a good night that came together well. 

the 2nd half of die angel's set went to this really heady groove kinda tribal kinda techno. totally infectious. was a gift to my brain. first half of their set was good too. nice build up to some heavy tones and thick processing and razor like leads and riffs. 

now i have 2 days off. 

I dropped an additional 6 lbs in the last month. Net loss of 28 since I started regular pre-work gym visits more than a year ago. Now if I can just shed 35 more...

My friends uploaded some music we did back in the day (10 or so years ago) and have really been enjoying it lately. Track 8 has such an interesting atmosphere to it.

It's a lot of fun to listen to the old stuff and hear everyone's personalities come out in the music. As well as hear how we've grown/changed.

Successfully pulled out a stuck CD from my car stereo.  My method was taking a narrow plastic spatula, wrapping a foot of packing tape around it, sticking it into the slot, hitting eject so that the CD stuck to it, then pulling it out.  If there were a chart graphing my level of satisfaction for 2019, the 3 seconds immediately proceeding this feat would be at its apex.

Researched region-free Blu-ray players over the last few weeks, then finally realized I could just share the BD-ROM drive of my Windows pc running AnyDVD over the network.

Woohoo!

I recently did the sound design for something Batman-related. 

I can cross that off my list now. 

just discovered amazon sell 24 cans of hoegaarden for £25, that my man is a bargain (and will be in my fridge by tomorrow)

hmmm yum

Yeah I need to take advantage of Amazon bulk buys more. Just started buying my spoiled cat's gourmet food in bulk from there and I notice they do cases of A&W root beer too...

Oh, no, never heard of that. I neglected to mention there's a second little HTPC involved, that has neither Windows nor an optical drive.

Found the elusive Malort in town, bought shots for cousin & friends 

Got a free pizza because whoever ordered it left their house before I arrived.  Had to wait until my shift was over, in case they got in touch and still wanted their pizza.  But they did not, so it was mine all mine.

I successfully completed a 2+ hour session of drunken hatchet throwing for the first time without dismemberment

Those dink slippers didn't reimburse me, according to my pay record.  I'll have to attempt to resolve it over chat during my next shift, since they conveniently abolished the courier email option.  

SFWA: successfully converted my SFWA into a SFWP, which is really more my scene anyway.

Music royalties are the fucking best!

Whaaat? Always thought they were a fairytale.

Oh shit no, not if you make music for commercials

Sellout!

Lol 

Things seem to be coming together pretty well recently. Looking for a new job right now and have two recruiters fighting over me. Also, a competitor of my last company wants to chat about a position with them this week. Just hope to get a new gig soon so I can enjoy another couple weeks of vacation.

Awesome! What position do they have for you?

The recruiters are trying to get me an audio engineering role. Mostly recording voices and editing. The competitor to my last company would be a QA engineer role in mobile games. I would prefer the audio thing of course, but either would be dope.
