Plastic props, I hate SnapChat, and some snowdrops
Bit of a slow week, especially since an old shoulder injury (right shoulder, rotator cuff) flared up and I was taking things easy waiting for the misery to subside. It does make me think that I’ll set aside the fiddle for a little while, at least a couple months,...
The Nick White Show, new fiddle and clarinet gear, and early spring flowers
Time to get to work… I got back to editing audio on the first prequel of the web series I’ve been working on. About that… so, I’d thought I might call the show “Where The Sun Don’t Shine,” thinking it rather clever for a show set in a rock...
Flowers, finally! Also more plants, more light, etc.
Another week gone by. At least it’s now light just past 5pm again, and it’s been sunny the last few days. I sound like Zamo giving an iguana’s opinion on what’s important. Well, let’s talk about Zamo: I haven’t done one in a couple weeks because I realized I...
eBay fun and wrong items, messing around with my fiddle, and new houseplants
Ah, the joys of eBay… So, a while back I bought a pair of sequinned bellydance face veils because bullshit reasons. I bought 2 thinking that down the road I might make them into a bra top or something. This week, they arrived. Well, not really. See, I ordered...
A very cold beach, rowing machine, and a WTF Facebook ad
Slow week, with no a whole lot to report. The big event of the week was two days of testing appointments I was supposed to drive my father to in the next town over (Victoria), with a huge snow dump forecast for the occasion. The first day turned out...
New old show, waffles, and HDMI cable blues
New year, same old shit. Mostly. I’m just glad I wasn’t greeted with any new snow this morning. What is new is that I decided to relaunch my old college radio show, The Vampire’s Ball, as a Mixcloud podcast. I’ll post it on Saturday evenings and this week’s episode...
Christmas, etc.
How does that wretched John Lennon steaming pile of shit go? “So this is Christmas and what have you done?” How people claim to like that depressing dirge is beyond me… I would have once said the only thing worse than “Merry X-Mas (War Is Over)” is that wretched...
Snowy Saturnalia, web series progress, and shamanism searches
Happy Saturnalia! It’s on now (well, yesterday) through December 23rd, and we have a full moon tonight, and the solstice is on the 21st. So feast and drink and all the rest, folks. I doubt we’ll have a white Christmas based on the forecast for next week, but we...
Earthquake!
So, this morning I was stuck in some icky dream which I now don’t remember other than the feeling. And then in a split second, I woke up, heard a loud boom, and the ground started to shake with various items rattling on various surfaces. I ducked under the...
More snow, less clutter, and some actual progress
Well, winter has started, sorta. We had some snow this week, and I got up to shovel and salt on Monday morning, even though I thought there was a good chance that it would be melted by afternoon (and it was). It did stay cold most of the week...
