Things I made this week

Feat. direct eye contact, just for you kleinbl00

Will upload a song I've been working on later.

Life things

Started training yesterday. I'm working in the kitchen at a fancy pizza place (incidentally, also where my boyfriend and his brother work), which isn't too much of adjustment - I've made pizzas since I was about 5, so I get the general idea.

I also met with my bf's uncle and his friend, let's call him "Mike", two days ago. Mike's been in the music biz for a decade or two out here, and I was initially pretty excited to meet him, particularly to try and find someone to master my album. Boy oh boy, was he a terrible human. I've met some other music vets his age before, and there's usually been a bit of casual sexism/racism here and there, but dear god this guy was on another level. Bf's uncle introduces me to him, and he says "ah, she's (my bf) your ol' cocksheath, eh?" and the night goes downhill from there. I basically spent about 5 hours at a bar with this guy, dealing with him showing me pictures of the people he's currently fucking, hearing him talk about wanting to fuck every female patron in the bar, ranking the fuckability of every female musician he knows. When anyone at the table didn't participate, he called them a faggot. At some point he was talking about how gay I probably was, and I just said something along the lines of "there are a lot of dicks I would suck out there, and yours is definitely not one of them", at which point the gay jokes stopped. Eventually, I just point blank told him to give me names of people to master my album, ordered two more drinks (on him), and caught an hour and a half bus ride home.

Yesterday, my bf's uncle told me he was going out drinking again with Mike, who I guess had a great time with me, and asked if I wanted to tag along. I told him I would sit this one out. Not looking to get bullied by a 46 year old man again.

Oh, here's the cherry on top: he was out drinking because one of his employees just dropped their sexual harassment suit against him. Guys like this are one of many reasons I am not trying to make it as a career musician. And holy fuck, thank god I don't have the horrible misfortune of being a female musician.
