One of the most striking memories I have of college is wandering out to north campus late at night, almost off campus altogether, and noting the sky. Across the street, you could see the stars. No light hit the grass or the parking lot of whatever industrial facility was over there. You turn back to campus, and the sky was instead an ugly haze of navy blue and orange from lights that only turned off when the sun was there to light things up instead. I think about light pollution a lot. I don't 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
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
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
Dedicated journal readers, I am typing this at you from the comfort of my brand new desk I have spent the evening with my mom struggling to put together. It is so choice. Peep the setup: Click the image! You'll want full-size for this one. I've been on the hunt for a new desk for literally years now. My old desk was a very cheap, very shitty, falling apart particleboard mess—the legs were particleboard, the top was particleboard, and the bottoms of the built-in drawers were like, flimsy Read more
So our power was out for two days! A popup storm on Monday littered the area with trees and branches and took out power for some 22,000 people at the peak, and 13,000 for two days. I was one of the 13,000. (At the moment, according to poweroutage.us, only 31 people in my county are without power, so all is back to normal just about. Rest in peace to the gamers in York County, though, they've still got 6,700 outages.) This sure sucked! We have electric water, so none of the showers, toilets, or Read more
Long time no see, journal readers—life's been good lately. My job is panning out nicely so far, though I'm by no means in any sort of comfortable groove with it yet. In fact, my body was screaming in agony last night after clearing two u-boats at the end of four days straight of standing all day working. I'll adapt, no worries. I got trapped in my bathroom today! That was a lot of fun. It's been so heavy and humid lately that the door actually got stuck and I couldn't open it from either Read more
Exciting stuff! Three packages showed up for me today: We got a copy of Minecraft Volume Alpha, to complement my copy of Beta from Christmas, a 3DS flashcart (half for novelty and half because I need it to ntrboot Caby's 3DS next time I go over there), and the best part, another swag package from Patrick at Midwestern Dirt! I just figured he was sending me a shirt, but he actually sent a buncha really cool stuff over, Sayonara guitar picks, stickers, a tote bag—a lot of stuff that they don't Read more
Man, I couldn't tell you where I've been mentally lately. Art Fight kinda didn't go so well (but enough about half the staff quitting, bazinga), so I've just kinda been making some here-and-there progress on site stuff—Beck catalog review in the works, modding section with rewritten Quake level postmortems in the works. I'm excited to say that mari@macintosh.garden is about halfway towards having all the stuff I want on it, which means then I can turn my attention back to design fully and get Read more
Still all over the place, but a little notice that you should be watching my Macintosh Garden temp site if you want to see new work from me! I'll still be working on cammy.somnol content and drawings (mood permitting), but that's been the thing I've been spending the most time on lately. I just got the majority of my old Neocities album reviews ported over and rewritten and sorted by artist to be much nicer to browse, and new ones are starting to trickle out. I've also collected a ton of my old Read more
