I've been lusting after one of those. The TX81z is kinda gritty for a yamaha FM. The TQ5 is even gnarlier.

I knew it would be Sweet Maria's. Once I am equipped to roast coffee I'll have to get some from them.

Totally envious of that espresso machine. Where do you get your beans to roast?

So the album releases on Friday, but it's on Bandcamp already

Go ahead and take a download code for it!

I like the idea! I have some leatherworking stuff I've let fall to the wayside. Perhaps I'll have to pick that back up. Periodically I get just enough materials to make a new wallet or two. I had various extras this last cycle, so I started making a larger kind of wallet that I have not finished. Time to hit it again!

Hubski pt. 2:

Holiday stuff: I do a half day at work today, then I go home to make cranberry sauce to bring down to San Diego tonight. Work has been slow recently because 1/2 of my instrument setup took a shit and died a while ago. We placed the order for it's $65k replacement which just arrived right now, so I'm stoked!

Maybe it's because I just read a couple essays about this, but I'm seeing the Legibility problem everywhere:

I'm still slowly working through this, but this is also great.

It's been a great Wednesday so far, seeing as it is Wednesday already. How the time flies! I'm pretty much set to release the new album on the first, a week shy of 2 years after the last time I released something. It will be nice to have that wrapped up, then I can focus on the long, long game of ineffectual internet promotion.

I've been way less productive with my free time recently since I've been playing Noita for almost all of it since it came out. But I have been doing some pretty good cooking in between. Since my fiancee switched to a non-nightshift job, I've been having to make a lot more meals. She doesn't really cook, and on most nights when she was at work I wouldn't really either. Instead I'd mostly just like, eat a block of cheese or something.

Just stopping by to say these are great.

Edit: for those curious, the second aritcle's author's twitter has some images of his former shack.

The Legibility link is very cool.
