guitar inspirations.
I have been practicing guitar again and I've also watched The Who Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 and Woodstock in the past week, so live music and inspiration have been on my mind.
album post: "the gold record" (2006)
I think this is the first album post I've done from this century. Everything else has been pre-1980, aka the better years for just about everything I like.
somehow i've made it 37 years.
Tomorrow is my 37th birthday. Since my birthday continues to be tainted by people who think covid is no longer in existence, I've been looking at what was going on when I was born as a distraction.
album post: "led zeppelin iii" (1970)
I should probably break this new install in with a post, so why not do an album post for the first time in literal years?
i finally painted a room!
In 2018 and 2019, my blog was basically entirely my DIY home improvement posts. I moved into a new place at the end of 2018, and it was so awful that I had to remodel every inch of it on my own.
2026: maybe the year i'll start reading again?
As a kid I read obsessively; throughout elementary school I was very into the Scholastic book club and the Pizza Hut Book It program (I made sure I got a pizza each month, haha).
my top 10 albums of 2025.
For clarity, this is based off my top plays on last.fm, it's not a rating of 2025 releases.
...and i'm switching back to the iphone.
After 3 months on Android, I am making the switch back to iOS, and this time it actually came as a surprise to me. I really thought this switch was going to be the one that sticks; as my last post notes, iOS 26 was that bad.
