For this blog, I am only allowing myself to fix, add, or update one part of the site per day. When I come here I want to mess around in the admin area so much. I need to post a post when I come here not click all the fancy buttons.
Today's update, for the record, was to get the genres in the albums in more of a cloud instead of a list. Yesterday's was to add a recent album list on the album page. Little by little this space is filling up.

Each time I listen to an old record, I try to note an interesting bit of typography on a blank business card. I'm slowly building up a nice deck of design cards to reference in the future.
The plan is to use them in the for vignettes on websites. There are a lot of interesting ideas on those covers that could be done with CSS and CSS variables.

I am up a mountain in an onsen town. That should be enough so why do I feel like I need to type something more deep?

There is something about the arc of going to and coming back from a show that resonates with me.
It isn't just being at the show itself. It is the whole process of thinking about the show, studying up on who is playing, exploring the area around the venue, time tables, talking to people, thinking about future music, and things like that.
Then when you get back there is stuff to put away, things I've gathered to check out later to peruse, choosing wind down music, and things like that.
You change slightly after going out for some music. It's like you are a meteor and something bumps your course slightly. It changes your orbit a bit.

Took advantage of the dollar to yen exchange rate and leveled up my winter coat. A random fashion reset which is rare for me. Enough so that my significant keeps asking me "who are you". Nothing too crazy but it's for sure a departure from previous vibes. Getting used to the length but have a longer one is already better for waiting on a train platform.
