My bandmate has an emoji system for keeping track of how far a long a song is. I am totally going to steal it for my random projects:

• 🥚= a new idea is beginning
• 🐣= a new idea in process
• 🐥= a new idea is finished

This blog is definitly 🥚. Not even close to 🐥.

Apple Music has been lame on my laptop lately. When I click play on the first song, it just skips to the next song, then the next, and then the next. Nothing gets played. Sometimes it works trying playing it again.

What usually happens it I just say "eff it" and listen to a podcast.

I was getting to the end of the last song on the first album from the list when a recommendation from a friend arrived for the second album on the list. Nice timing, nice album.

Got lucky and found a cool yakitori place near our friend's hotel. Bonus points for getting a table outside on a hot night.

Did an hour of drum practice tonight to get ready for practice on Saturday. Practice for practice.
