Today was the second day in a row that was absolutely cursed for me so I’m very apprehensive about where it’s all leading. I just want to listen to jams and vibe but the universe is trying to tell me something bad is coming for me.

I keep trying to think of a clever way to transition from Britney’s Break the Ice to Timbaland’s The Way I Are and so far, despite trying different things in 3 practice sessions, it has eluded me. Perhaps I need something else to go with Britney. It is just so distinct and loopable.

The amount that I love the Transform effect on 2 beats for pretty much any song build or chorus is probably unhealthy.

No, Philadelphia Inquirer, Harris is not going to save Katy Perry’s latest single because that song is just atrocious. But here’s hoping Harris can save this country from becoming totally fascist.

Not me googling “how to make a drug free rave experience” over here. That’s what I want to make. For like, everyone at the rave. Drugs include alcohol. Just vibe! Music is the drug. Yeah I’m this kind of strait-laced stick-in-the-mud, I won’t let it go.

ME: I dunno what’s on the radio anymore. That’s probably bad as an aspiring DJ. ME: _bothers to listen to a top hits list on Spotify_ ME: gosh these songs are so boring to me….?

New computer managed to record the audio, screen, and webcam capture all by itself for about an hour and only got like, a little bit hot? So at least the money was not errantly spent

Hopefully getting new computer today! Which I desperately need I’m trying to really execute against the goal of becoming a DJ. This weekend I hope to: 1. Set up new computer + test if I can make a better-quality video for my wedding. Record 1st half again if so 2. Make more social accounts/website

The real question is if I can assure myself that having one computer for DJing AND podcasting AND personal use is going to be alright. I want to keep my personal and DJ music libraries separate is actually my biggest problem in this scenario, maybe?

Bought a new (used) computer. Excited that DJing and making videos should be easier. But extremely sad for my wallet.

Tried to convince myself that I have the money and am deserving of a computer that’s guaranteed to perform without issue for DJing and making videos for that, had the used computer in my cart, was checking out, was at payment… and felt literally sick to my stomach and backed out… 😩

If this isn’t the most anti-Cold War satirical novel “look how stupid war is, look at the stupids who make war” vibe I’ve ever seen, I don’t know what is. stocks.apple.com/AsFYbeHYmRba...

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 👍

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?
