The Ableton site is so much more interesting when you read in French.

After struggling with deleting files from my phones trash folder for the longest time: downloading apps specifically for deleting and even paying full price for one of them (and it didn't work!) I discovered I can dump the recycle by going into settings of the camera app. FML!!... Feels good to figure it out though. 

30 month CT scan all clear. no abnormalities. so the cancer killing drug i'm on is doing its job

so i'm going to celebrate with some kind of food maybe. or have ice cream for the first time in months. 

fuck. i wasn't expecting any bad news but ya never know. it's nice to have that lifted. it's always a tension inducing thing as the day of CT scan/follow up appointment nears. 

i hope you lot get some good news about something soon ay...

                                                                                        That's Awesome News!!! Have an extra ice cream to celebrate:)

It occurred to me that if potato chip sandwiches are a thing, there's no reason pretzel sandiches shouldn't be.  So i made one with sour dough bread and hot mustard.  It was excellent.  Something about the soft dough combining with the crunch is extremely satisfying.  Very IDM texture.

What about a pretzel with pretzel filling? 

damn man, that's giving me hunger vibes.

                                                                                      I don't know why but this pic made me laugh, Thanks:)

It does look a bit like the pretzel is self conscious about how disgusting (and appealing at the same time) it looks but someone is about to eat it and it makes a sort of chuffed/aw-shucks face. 

At one of my grandparent's funerals my nephew pointed out a ham sandwich that looked as if it was sticking its tongue out and I started laughing uncontrollably. Don't think I've ever been on the receiving end of as many disapproving looks since.

Bought baby's first Moog. A DFAM. Moving up in the world.

I haven't shat myself this week.  Not as regular in timing or consistency as I would like, but we're moving in the right direction.

I don't know. Mine was from 2013 or something. It's still a button. Has depth to it.

The keyboard from a 2017 Macbook Pro is pure fucking shit. It's a slight upgrade from trying to type on a tablet.

Got the new keyboard and it's nicer than the original Apple keyboard. Feeling good about this one. Made out of plastic, but feels a lot better.

I have been wearing headphones without listening to anything for at least 20 minutes.

Me too! High five!

I've never felt such a strong connection with another human being.

It's quite overwhelming aye

I just collected half my 100-count limit of oysters today.  What a blast, and it was a beautiful day for wading.

the last month has been & continues to be the most musically productive period of my life so far - have been working on trx the equivalent of working a full-time job, with the hours going up each week. and all it took was being unemployed + not dating + having no social life + the gym being shut down + the imminent collapse of western civilization engendering a general "leave it all on the field" mentality

can't even get away with a simple bitcoin transaction nowadays without the fake news media making a big deal about it

Today keeps getting better and better. I just got a good review in Igloo Mag: https://igloomag.com/reviews/colin-dyer-cypher-schematic

Consequently the music featured on Cypher is transportive in a tremendous and utterly grimy—if not intoxicating—voyage to a desolate-painful continent. This frightening soundscaping eeriness enthralls the mind with a vast array of micro-noises, echoing electronic motifs and percussive obliterations.

Congrats, dude! I still need to snag this

Congrats Braintree. I should check out your music again, it's been a minute...

Currently coming up on 86.5 hours fasted, my longest fast in at least two years. I've been doing some variety of fasting regularly for the last 10 years or so. Pretty much exclusively eat one meal a day in general, and once a year or so I like to have a few weeks or a month where I do several multi-day fasts. (of course when I do this I have to prepare first, will usually intentionally put on some weight, stock up on electrolytes, plan to not do very much physical activity). Feels pretty good, feels like a physical reset of sorts. I mean obviously it's quite difficult as well but tbh after the first 36h it really plateaus, it's just a matter of maintaining the discipline.

Will likely break this fast today or tomorrow, and then I've got maybe one more long fast in me for this period. Dunno. My body lets me know when it's time to stop, it's a very distinct feeling. Then I just go back to eating once a day.

^ just h2o? how strict are you about it? i do occasional fasts as well but not 80+ hrs, usually 24, maybe 48. also a long time fan of the one-meal-a-day diet.

what I actually came here to post: my moog werkstatt showed up today, and it is instant joy.

Got played on BBC radio
