    Music notes

    I gave a music industry podcast a try today with some interesting results. Going into it my head was at even if it doesn't apply to me, I should really know about things. After one episode, I can't tell if I should keep listening to it or not. The two people talking were bringing up some things I hadn't thought/cared about. I even started to get sucked in for a second.

    Then I realized at a point that they both weren't saying any of my personal keywords for why I play music. The web designer side of me wanted to take notes, the punk/indie drummer side of me wanted to change to another podcast.

    I am going to try some other episodes to see if it was just the guest this week that was rubbing me the wrong way. If you want to know the podcast, send me a message dave@frozen-octopus.com.

    My throat and eyes have been burning for a week.
    Allergy season plus days and days of howling wind.
    Sounds like a haunted house in our place.

    I have a bunch of things to make and write.
    None of it is happening due to arid brain conditions.
    Cactus are growing inside my skull.

    There was a weird amount of streetcar riding in my dream last night. Enough that I looked up "trolley" on a dream meaning website *.

    Looks like it means that I am open-minded, starting to take a new journey in life, and are taking little steps toward your goals and pacing yourself.

    Wonder where I am headed to?

    * For fun

    Scraps of paper are RAM and notebooks are ROM. I had a bunch of small notebooks that sat on a shelf unused for a couple years. I tore them up into scrap paper and now it's almost all used up. For me, putting something into book form is really inhibiting. When I switched to scraps of paper, ideas started flowing like water.
