Blagueur, musician. I have delusions of writing. Also I play viola.
@GinnyMcQueen Saturday would be fantastic. #NetflixandChill
Making an enormous mug of tea and sitting down to write a blog post.
I'm kinda new to this blogging thing, and I'm getting to the part where it's difficult to figure out what to write about next.
(It's a blog about absurd art/writing/music. I know. How goddamn predictable of me.)
@GinnyMcQueen I'm down. That sounds so fun.
@Nire Just gouge your own eye out, that way you'd have about 1/10th of the defining characteristics of Oedipus Rex, (while avoiding the whole patricide and mother-incest bit) AND you wouldn't have a broken clock in your eye.
Pretty much a win/win in my book.
@Averly I grew up with this movie! So many fond memories ☺
To be honest, of all the days I've ever lived, this is definitively one of them.
@Doppio On Mastodon, shouldn't that be a tuskache?
And would #tuskache count as a #CatchyHashtag ?
This incoherency brought to you by my own tuskache, pain relievers, and several days lack of sound sleep.
@KevinMarks nails it in his 'Mastodon Theory':
"In a classic silo, who you share a server shard with is an implementation detail, but choosing an instance does define a neighbourhood for you. Choosing to join witches.town or awoo.space or botsin.space will give you a different experience from mastodon.social"
Somehow mastodon's instance architecture puts the human element back into the center of the digital experience.

In other news, one of my favorite albums of 2016 finally got put up on the Spotify: the Satie album "Socrate" by Barbara Hannigan (soprano) and Reinbert de Leeuw (piano).
@aemarc how dare they. they don't appreciate you like the tooters do.
@live Damn right.
By the way, thank you to @DaveHiggins for reminding me of the #catchyhashtag.
I hadn't forgotten, obviously. I just let it slip for a bit. Given it time to ferment, if you will.
just remembered that I'm not doing birdsite for the week. shoot.
oh well. I'm just gonna start now.
@DaveHiggins Well yes, he does need a #CatchyHashtag, but he'd never admit to it because he's dead.
Sauguet, not my neighbor...obviously...hehehe...
OBVIOUSLY.
A recording of Sauguet's "Musique pour Cendrars" (for baritone and viola)...shame the violist is so wimpy and/or relegated to the background. They could have played twice as loud throughout and never overwhelmed the vocalist.
@aemarc obviously collecting statistics on people who use B&N as a destination for peeing/time-killing.
Listening to Henri Sauguet, a 20th century French composer who has no business being as neglected as he is.
Also listening to the next-door neighbor mowing their front lawn, because I tragically don't live in a recording studio (I can always dream). This neighbor, at this moment, is more worthy of neglect than is Sauguet.
@GinnyMcQueen I mean, when you put it THAT way...
Yeah, you're right.
well that was a good AMA. so many hundreds of questions. y'all are the grooviest of grooves.
@DaveHiggins No, I haven't learned to juggle either. Good times.
