I'm gonna be honest, I'm going through it a bit right now, hence the lack of journal posts. It's alright, everything is fine—strictly speaking, work is a grind but a pretty positive one (I got a really nice thank you card from one of the other employees for helping them out so much, and I think I am selling more ESP than anyone else still, a month on, so I feel pretty confident in myself), and the group is chatty as always and I think pretty close?—mostly just working on a lot of really Read more
Some people will cut you 'til you're bleeding But not me, 'cause I just wanna do it to myself I'm just checking it up Baby, one more time for you Checking it up until the pile hits the sky Well, even the best years are a waste of time But baby, I'm a big star now All these seasons, all this time Spinning past 'til they leave you far behind Lay me down in the circle where the spotlight shines 'Cause all this pleasure gets me high I think I've felt every single emotion there is to feel in the Read more
Today marks one year of the journal, and thus, one year of cammy.somnol! I intentionally brought the site back up absolutely bare bones, with nothing except this journal, to see how it would grow on its own. It's been slow, but super rewarding. There's still a bunch of pages ready to go over on the home server beta site that just need a Setter in the header. This includes the score pages, the MIDI stockpile, and one of the timelines (though that one's inverted, the Setter is already done, I Read more
As I was settling into my desk chair after a long day of working the store, I realized that there was no easy way to see what the most recent update to cammy.somnol was. You have my journal, but that's more like a diary with some other project stuff thrown in. mari@macintosh.garden (soon to be mari@somnol) has the front page changelog and the older updates page, but I had that on cammy_v1, and I don't think a changelog matches the friendlier, more personal vibe I'm going for on this site. Easy Read more
Remembering the warm summer nights Everything is gonna turn out right All the answers lie behind your eyes Everything is gonna turn out right All I want is to see you smile All I want is to see you smile Answers always are waiting there You give me feelings that I used to get Remember things that I had forgot Get the feelings that I used to get Remember things that I had forgotten long ago You can read the trip diary now. It's properly done, posted, public. I held off for a few months because I Read more
So my mom and my sister often pawn off tech issues onto me, just because it's quicker and easier if I handle it than if they learn how to do it themselves. I'm alright with that bit, but the one thing I hate is when I have to sit on the phone with customer support of any kind, let alone outsourced customer support. And the past few days, over my days off from work, I have gotten stuck with so much of it. So I have Consumer Cellular. They've been phenomenal. Their prices are great, they have a Read more
More photo galleries have been posted! We got one old one, the Turtle Back Zoo page from cammy_v1, and one of the remaining pages from the old site which had not been redone for the new site, and one brand new one, a set of long-exposure night photography shots from when I went to summer camp in 2011. These were found on a DVD-R I had in my disc wallets, and I now have them safe across all my backup shards. There's still galleries for me to make, but all the ones I had on cammy_v1 are now up.

Man, just a bumper crop of stuff to see on cammy.somnol this month, huh? Back on the 12th, I came home from work and decided to put together a page on some music videos I love—something Caby did way back when on Neocities and a really fun idea overall. That page is finally live! It's not exhaustive, there's other ones that stick out to me (the video for The Rentals' "Friends of P" was one I was enjoying last night), but this is a nice exploration of some of my favorites and my overall tastes Read more
Ever since the Fusion Drive Crash of 2019, I've been eternally paranoid about losing stuff. It sticks in my head at all times. I refuse to ever lose data ever again. I've been making random copies of stuff I feel like I'm gonna lose on random drives for years now, on top of the DVD-R site backups I already do and my two externals filled with random garbage I've been using since late 2019. Of course, a backup solution is only as good as your ability to find anything in it, and I've just had shit Read more
One of those fabled long-term Cammy projects has just appeared on the group blog: a First Draft entry focusing on last year's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot boxset, exactly 22 years after that album streamed for the first time on wilcoworld.net. I wrote the majority of this thing back in June, and with that anniversary just a few months off, I knew I had to hold it for today. Paired with that is a boxset and bootleg reference on cammy.somnol, showing you the overlap between each set of Wilco demos. Going Read more
