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

It's properly done, posted, public. I held off for a few months because I 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
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

(Conversation fear.) Let's do a site content update, because it's been a bit. I finished up that Setter and I'm starting to get my photo galleries online! I've got two for you so far, shots from some of my local parks and scenes from the West End Fair, which is a week-long gathering in my area for produce, animals, crafts, history, and lots of fried desserts. You'll wanna see the rabbits especially. I do have more galleries I wanna put together—one for the zoo trip I took back during Read more
I'm almost ready to post the trip diary. The pages are all done, and the group's already seen it. We're about three-and-a-half months past my departure, but all that's left is for me to finish up some BunnySetter drawings I'm doing for it (two more to do, one finished, one currently being lined right now) and everyone can come see it. This has been a far bigger project than anyone could've imagined. 22 days, nearly a whole month, catalogued thoroughly with logs, doodles, lots of photos, project 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
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
I've been seriously all over the place lately. I've just decided to start doing absolutely everything that comes to mind, y'know, be an impulsive little shit about making stuff like I'm always tempted to do, and here's how that's going. I've got two First Draft posts scheduled to the blog! First Draft was a series I was writing for Letters about early and alternate versions of albums, the first one having dropped back in February on the Dandy Warhols' Come Down predecessor, The Black Album. I Read more
