(this started from this rad bit of actual practical makeup I saw elsewhere, which I think my brain didn't so much say "ah, that gives me an idea" so much as "hold my beer and watch this")

Having one of those emotional whiplash music days where being able to make reasonably good music isn't making me feel good about being able to make reasonably good music, but instead making me feel bad about not being able to make [insert incredibly talented musician here]'s music.

Another, that looks like it might be on track at first but no

once again I am trying to work out Hilbert curve axiom + rules in the L-system extension in Inkscape and once again I am increasingly convincing myself that I understand neither the Hilbert curve nor L-systems.

Got myself into this accidental creative trap by recording an album with band before discussing boundaries about sharing work in progress, and finding out only later that those boundaries varied and one member was a hard no on sharing anything before the album was out.

I write and record and put stuff out the same day, usually. We recorded this album fifteen months ago. There's some good songs mixed well that I just have to sit on and it's emotionally and creatively taxing for me.

game pitch: mashup of detective procedural and Bake Off pastiche, where you have to solve a murder by investigating the folks involved in a episodic baking show...by successfully competing in the baking show.

Snoop around the tent, question the competitors and the hosts, look for clues on people's baking tables, but for god's sake don't underbake your pastry or forget to put the eggs in or you'll be bid a tearful goodbye and the murderer will get off scot free.
