occasionally things get weird

Over the last week, a post that’s well over a year old has received almost 1,000 hits. And most of the people loading it are sticking around long enough to read it, or at least large chunks thereof.

I have no idea why. Or where they’re coming from. None. No referral URLs, no sources given, they’re not search results. I got nothin’.

My best guess it it’s found its way onto some school mailing list. But that’s a complete guess. Anybody got any ideas? Because I got nothin’.

Also it’s Cyber Monday or whatever so go listen to the new single and pre-order the album! We need to pay the mastering engineer. DO IT DO IT DO IT! XD

solving problems one $30 part at a time

It's been fix-many-small-annoyances through small amounts of money time lately. Did you know through-house-wiring networking adaptors are down to like $28 for a pair? I did not. But someone mentioned on Facebook that they'd bought a pair (a more expensive pair, but this cheaper brand I've successfully used before) and wow has that fixed the ASUS microserver and streaming of Legend of Korra on the television.

And some other things, too.

I've been doing a lot of that lately. I migrated to a not-as-stupid not-by-me password manager. I built a small shelf (and bought another) and rearranged problematic storage in the kitchen. The three-day packs? Recertified and up to date! I made a replacement couch cushion cover for the one that had ripped almost a year ago. I bought a $20 pair of motion-activated LED battery lights for one studio closet and the costuming/sewing supplies/paperwork storage closet and wow that's nice to have done, I didn't realise how bad it was. I bought a $15 curtain rod (with wall attachments) to replace the saggy clothesline in the laundry room and there's so much more space suddenly you have no idea.

It goes on like that a while. I posted a little over a month ago (on the band blog) about finally working my way back down through the to-do list to things from Before Eye Explosions, and I haven't really stopped. Tomorrow I'm finally going to polycoat the iPad case I made for Anna over a year ago.

CHUG CHUG CHUG MOTHERFUCKERS SHIT IS GETTING DONE and none of it is really, truly important? But yeah it feels nice to be sorting all this shit out.

I think the surprising part is that as I do this, I'm starting to get experimental with music again too, in ways I haven't been for a while. It's been entirely eye surgery recovery OR work on soundtrack album and exactly fuck and all else. The last few days, tho'? Noodlin'. On a new instrument! I was at it for so long on Sunday that Paul begged me just to STOP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD and that was fun. :D

Anyway, so that's just kind of nice. I like sorting things out. I really do.
