Since I’m getting paid soon I went ahead and got a new vacuum and wowwwww the last one was really dead. This is a xiaomi stick vacuum and it is so quiet and my floors are noticeably cleaner. How much of a loser am I that it’s Friday night and I’m delighted by a new vacuum lmao

I had ice cream in the rehearsal break today instead of coffee and it was significantly easier to make it through the piece lol

I ordered my groceries to be delivered between 6-7 and was planning to make soup, at 7 they said there was a delay, and now it’s 9 pm and they canceled my order 👹

Everyone cross your fingers that someone hires me for something soon because my vacuum cleaner really smells like burning and I cannot justify that kind of expense right now

A friend is staying with me for a couple days for a bassoon festival and she has been practicing for four hours, I wish my neighbors would complain so I can tell her to stop

I feel so much despair about my career lately. I’m so tired of putting things out there and getting nothing back. I don’t know how much longer I can make myself try

I’ve chosen the wrong piece to play at the bassoon festival (it’s the kind of piece you could pretty much only play at the bassoon festival) and I do nottttttttttt want to practice it

Maybe the data center boom is a little less about ai than it is about where they’re storing bajillions of hours of recorded conversations (to then feed to ai)

Finally saw coyote vs acme, loved it. Took my parents and they hated it 😬 Could the plot have been stronger? Yes. But I would see it again. Particularly loved the sung meep meeps throughout the score, whoever came up with that should be v proud

Whenever I visit home there comes a point where I think man I love California I should move back, and then I have a horrifying experience on the road and I’m reminded why I can’t handle it. Drivers are psychotic any more dude, it’s so scary out there

An acquaintance (musician) wrote to me after they heard about my orchestra collapsing and said maybe I should try looking for work in the us. What a novel idea!!!! I’ve never considered that as an option before!!!! Not like I haven’t been trying to do that for 20 fucking years!!! 👹👹👹👹👹👹

I just got a new datebook since they have school year ones available which is a huge own goal because I already have been worrying that I have no gigs on the horizon and will never work again

Millions of more important things out there but it also strikes me how stupid and uninspired the names are. Gulf of America. Lake America. There’s already an America let’s think a little harder hmm? You could at least call it lake Epstein or lake khomeini or whatever man

Isla de sacrificios, Veracruz— close enough to shore to swim, forbidden to the public, rumors of a secret military site, definite site of human sacrifices

A month or two ago one of my mutuals was talking about websites, and one of their mutuals said they’re launching a free open source platform— I signed up and planned to come back to it and I cannot remember what it’s called or find anything like that in my email. Does this ring a bell with anyone??

Two days ago I got home from two weeks away and ordered a sandwich from a place I’d never been to, and it was so delicious that I am now considering ordering it for a third night in a row. Rosemary focaccia, chicken breast, avocado, spinach, pesto.

Ok so I’m really skeeved out by this airbnb transaction because I made a reservation and paid with paypal, had it refunded to paypal, and then a week later they made an ACH charge on my bank, not to paypal WTF???

Cory Barger (she/her) @corybee.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

I feel like businesses are just blatantly scamming now— I had an airbnb reservation that I canceled in time to get a refund, got the refund, and then a week later they charged me again. Like be so for real

I’m at immigration again today and it just baffles me how mad people in charge get when you aren’t following their uncommunicated rules about being in line. I know you say this 1000 times a day, but you haven’t said it to me, and there is no sign anywhere so

I am a reluctant orderer of groceries but since I don’t have a car it really makes the most sense. I can get a lot of stuff within a couple blocks but not everything. I just got a notification that my courier is coming by bicycle and I feel like that’s crazy
