Hi. Haven’t posted in a while, not that anybody would be looking for one, but it still kinda ticks me off that I put effort towards something that for a second there I thought I would be abandoning. But no, we’re back. I’ve got a good amount of drafts I should finish and a lot of things to distract myself from, so I’ll hopefully be pushing out some teasers soon for projects that are in the works. For now I would like to give a brief log for myself (and whichever friend of mine might be reading this while stalking my profiles) of what I’ve done since last month and pretty much the time around my last legitimate post. To those who are familiar with my situation (which would primarily include my face-to-face friends along with a select few of my online ones) I might’ve explained the deal with my regimen in both physical activity and medication to help remedy my body’s whole situation. After a time of the jabs I’d have to keep in line with that regimen as I was advised to and such, but a couple weeks ago and from now on every time I go under the lamp I’m only to keep the physical activity portion of my regimen. It was a rough two weeks, kind of trying to return to a baseline of not suddenly getting the feeling like I was going to pass out or die from pain coming from pretty much everywhere. I wasn’t able to do much in regards to any 83NO work or even the zine I’m trying to push out some sign-up sheets for, I even shut out live-messaging for a bit because I felt like I’d be typing a response to someone and suddenly start going “SWEET JESUS IT’S LIKE MY ENTIRE BODY HAS BEEN COVERED IN VINES AND THORNS AND I FEEL LIKE I’M COMING OFF IT” or something along the lines of that. You can be sure as hell I didn’t do those physical recovery activities and all that this time, but here’s to hoping the next time isn’t as much of a shock to me and my body as it was this time.  GET SMALLER DAMN IT! LORD! However many times I’ve done this already. A simple task fouled up by my inability to understand stuff other people have put together. I only wanted to set up a dual-boot between windows and nixOS, damn it! Delete the paging file, resize the partition, disable hibernation, resize the partition, remember that you have to delete hiberfil.sys, resize the partition. This song and dance again! I’ve done it a million times before. So I have an amazon-based fire tablet in my possession. I don’t use it at all, but I want to use it as a mobile monitoring system for my computer network based out of my apartment. Right now I’ve just been whipping out a netbook in the middle of a fucking restaurant to check the progress of storage transfers I’ve been doing recently. Amazon locked their firmware or something (the shitheads) so I can’t just go and boot whatever mobile OS I want to set up this monitoring system. I gotta go through and jailbreak the fuckin thing to do anything worthwhile with it. All the utilities to do this run on linux. And I figured something would screw up if I tried doing all of it on a live-boot linux ISO, so I went off and fucked around trying to dual-boot a linux distro. Initially this was nixOS, but the installation didn’t do jack shit, so I started to try installing Arch. I got an Arch install all good and going but Grub refused to boot back into it repeatedly, so there’s just this one fuckass partition that refuses to boot normally through EFI and the distro itself refuses to make a Grub configuration for me to import into Grub2 to allow it to do an automatic boot instead of me manually mounting the partition and manually finding all the Arch components to allow a half-assed boot into rescue mode or some shit. Arch superiority my ass. I’m not wiping my UEFI just to boot this broke-ass distro. Presumably I could install it, wipe my UEFI, and tell Grub to chain-load windows repeatedly, but I’ve been told this doesn’t boot a metric-fuckton of windows’ individual runtime services properly. So that’s scratched. So in preparation for a bunch of work to be starting in my game development, my film work, and possibly a bit of actual music I may or may not work on, I’ve been working on a bunch of tracks by various artists to add guide points to them for syncing my video to the track’s audio. Also generally rearranging the music to work around being in a video game/movie scene/etc. I’ve done this so far with about 10 tracks just to see if it was at all easy. A little list of said songs:
As you can probably tell I got quite a bit of Hiérophante in there. In fact, I think his work as well as Ada Rook’s is deserving of some favourable reviews Soon™. They’re both really good and I especially like doing guide work with Hiérophante’s work as his electronic beats show up more obviously on a spectrogram. Additionally I get some ideas for scenes for an as yet unannounced project of mine… More on that Soon™ as well. Oh boy are my friends gonna love hearing me blather on about this for the next week! I shot two rolls of black & white film (Ilford HP5+ 400 for those interested) and processed it myself a couple weeks ago. I’m working on getting them scanned and all to be published, but yeah. More on that in a bit. I also want to set up yet another part of the site solely for my photography, if I don’t just stick my photography portfolio in my current gallery next time I update the site. There’s some stuff there from my 6-7 years of unserious photography. Eh. It’s clear enough I live in the US. It’s clear enough what happened this morning. I don’t need to say more. Well. That’s enough for this week. Sorry for the long-ass post! Hoping to workshop some more shit and get it out there in a bit. Specifically my film/TV projects, Valentine NY, and possibly my gay-ass romance movie concept, 318 Chicago. Wishing everyone the best, and hoping to be seeing y’all next time. Peace!  Maybe one day.
