Wordle 1,116 1/6* 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 Incredible how much better / luckier I am at Wordle between midnight and 1am on a consistent basis This is the only time I’ve ever gotten it in one! Wow! Extremely lucky guess. I have no standard opening word.

A battery replacement would be $250 for my 8yo computer. Is that worth it? Hmmmm.

Now I’m in a good “how can I think about getting a new laptop or even a new battery when we’re actively bringing about the heat death of the planet because of all our STUFF?” spiral~ After backing up all the components I made for the video today.

I think I managed to record all parts of the first half of the wedding DJ set without melting one or both of my computers! I made two somewhat bleh mistakes that I’m just correcting with the audio in post, I don’t careeeeee, I cannot melt my computers more than necessary at this point.

Me: I shall for real attempt to record the first half of this wedding DJ set and the video today! My DJ computer: cute _dies 20 seconds into the recording, will not turn back on despite being plugged in_ Me: ($73:?)5!&@74:345)?):?!&65(!$53,?!’lpsecvyv *did get it to turn on eventually…

Do I need to buy an actual record player if only so I can play and digitize a high quality version of Pulse by Amara www.discogs.com/release/1101... This song fucking SLAPS and it’s criminal that there’s no digital version for sale. Didn’t even get to CD?! Give me a break!

I spent 5 hours on Saturday trying to film the first half of my DJ set for my wedding and mostly what I learned is that I should think of a different video idea than having me on camera. Might wind up filming just the decks/my hands manipulating them instead. Mix it in with some funny loopables.

_while linking the Chobits episode in the show notes of the Hot Gimmick episode for @shojoandtell.bsky.social, sees someone posted said Chobits episode on r/CLAMP at some point _ ME: I don't need to click on this to know that they don't agree with me and I don't agree with them 👍

Every morning I check the news and it's like -SCOTUS Eliminates Three More Basic Rights, Only Six Remain -President Mispronounces a Word, Will Now Lose Election to Senile Hitler -New AI Company Uses Artist Blood to Let Billionaires and Racists Live Forever, Gets $45 Billion Valuation

Had a dream that my house had 3 more rooms in it that we’d been ignoring for renovation reasons but 1 of them had a built-in DJ booth and was designed to hold house raves. It also had a dedicated DDR machine. Brain, you’re cute, where are we getting the money for that? Or friends who like partying?

I have waited too long to go to sleep and now a thunderstorm is here to scare the shit out of me, whoops

Isn’t Edmonton embarrassed to have a First Nations man do the intro to this game 6 when their name is the OILERS in the year 2024 as we’re inducing the climate crisis via oil. Like really though.

After like a week and a half of apprehension about actually making a video of my wedding DJ set, I finally feel confident I can pull it together. Also hoping to release a new episode of the podcast soon! Finally taking the time to learn all these things I thought were wizardry has been exciting.

Don’t know what I want more: The Florida Panthers to stop screwing around and just win the Stanley Cup already, or for the Florida Panthers to royally embarrass themselves and not win the Stanley Cup once again.

PSA: the climate crisis is real and this fucking sucks

Awwww yeah I’ve missed these kinds of vibes www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq76... I’m glad Pitbull has one speed and it’s “party all night 4ever, each night needs a new song”

*taps mic* is this thing on? I swear I didn’t die, I just fell in a pit of adult responsibilities and depression. No big deal. I got a Lume Box tripod so I’m hopeful about making decent videos in the near-ish future.

Surprise

Inputting genres for new music in my library and really wishing I was just labeling them “Daft Punk,” “Illenium,” “Skrillex,” “Avicii,” “Darren Styles,” etc.

YouTube: Charli XCX has a new song/music video Me: hmmm okay, it’s always big hit or miss with her though… *clicks* *main melody hits, my eyes go wide* Me: oh heck yessssss what a bop LET’S GOOOOO m.youtube.com/watch?v=WJW-...

Yay! I had so much fun working on Ashley’s DJ logo! As soon as she said “Ichigo & Hockey”, I was like “say no more, fam!”

Got a logo made by @handdesignco.bsky.social (@harleygin.bsky.social + @cbrails.bsky.social)! It's too cool for me. Inspirations: Ice hockey ("Slashley" is a nickname my uncle gave me for slashing penalties; I was a goalie, love cool masks), Ichigo's Hollow mask in Bleach, + masked DJs, generally.

The point of the Zac Efron DJ Movie was that Efron’s character doesn’t listen to the sounds of the real world enough (or play an instrument), and that’s why he’s only been able to make soulless-sounding songs. The Zac Efron DJ Movie is smarter than this Apple ad. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/...

A new Apple ad is sparking backlash from viewers who say it hits the wrong note | CNN Businessamp.cnn.com An ad for Apple’s new iPad Pro shows a piano, turntables, cans of paint and other tools of creative expression crushed in a giant hydraulic press. Some viewers say it sends a dispiriting message.

Have so much stuff to do, but have gone from stressing about my sewer line right into having a cold. This ain’t great.

Spent today working on my Bleach-inspired novel (outlining!), reading Infinite Jest, and thinking of recurring DJ set names that are ideally hockey puns. But now I’m thinking about hockey, and wondering if I should play again, and staring at the local rink’s schedule, and wanting to cry.

Current jam stuck in my head. m.youtube.com/watch?v=iUE0...
