Chloroform Days - Cammy's journal from the end of the Multiverse

The Fabulous 8-Track Sound of mariteaux
February 07, 2024

It really feels like I don't write on here as often as I used to, but apparently, I wrote seven entries in January. So I guess there's still stuff going up all the time? News to me. I've spent the past two days packing and getting last-minute technical stuff situated for my departure tomorrow, making sure server stuff is automated and accessible halfway across the world, loading some more games and music on my 3DS, that sorta stuff. I'm gonna use the next month like I used the last semester of Read more

Another Wales trip!
January 29, 2024

If you're not keeping up on my streams (shame on you! Sundays at 7PM EST, they're lots of fun), you might be wondering what's been going on with me as of late. There's kind of a lot, as to be expected when Cammy doesn't write any journal entries for two weeks, but really, I needed that time off to go indulge and explore some things. As such, I'll be doing daily entries until we're all caught up. Let's get the real life stuff out of the way first, and we'll talk about the fun stuff tomorrow. So Read more

The neglected journal update rollup, part two
January 04, 2024

I've been playing too much Unreal Tournament Caby finally shipped over the games I bought in Wales! It was a lot of fun sitting and installing them to the eMachines Box from disc, punching in the CD keys, the whole ritual. It's not convenient, but neither is the eMachines Box. It's fun! I'm very happy that the eMachines Box actually offers a much better gaming experience than I initially pegged it for—just so long as those games are five years older than the box itself. As Caby said once Read more

Is this loss?
December 28, 2023

The end of the year is always ripe for epiphanies, ain't it? I can't believe that one post about coming to terms with being autistic was now four years ago. Something keeps coming back to me about the past ten years, and I don't think I've ever properly vocalized it or even come to terms with it in myself. I'll have a lighter lookback on my art progress going up on the group blog soon; this is just one that's been brewing in my head for the past month or so as well. At the start of the year, I Read more

The mid-December Cammy update
December 17, 2023

I feel cloistered—more than usual. I haven't really been updating this journal, truthfully because I don't have a lot to update about! I've gotten back into art, and I feel much faster at it, more confident, and more ambitious than ever. It's perhaps a little early to look back and start sharing 2024 plans, though I do have them, and those will be going up on Letters. Beyond that, work, work, work. I went from a socially anxious mess when I started this job to proving myself in a big way to Read more

Light pollution
November 27, 2023

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

Baby, I'm a big star now
October 26, 2023

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

Darkside Lightside
October 13, 2023

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

It's not for the season
September 18, 2023

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

NEW DESK IS REAL
August 16, 2023

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 sheets Read more
