Live your life in such a way that you're toasted instead of roasted

Forcing myself to do a project in Dorico today. I've opened it up and I can't remember how to enter one single note. (Having bsky open at the same time isn't helping but I'll tackle one problem at a time.)

"Tell me what 4 animals you are" This is just a ploy to get people to list their alt accounts, and I won't fall for it 😁 (aside from @laserwolf.bsky.social who's coming back to the stage in 2027, woohoo!)

I live in the same Orlando suburb as Carrot Top. Only saw him once, in traffic, driving past our local Chipotle. Recent news feels a bit like whiplash.

Currently sitting in a hotel convention room getting ready to perform at a fundraiser. No fursuiters *anywhere*. I don’t know how people get through life.

Got a call from my Sweetwater salesman asking how I was enjoying the new accessories. He mentioned that he didn't know that I played guitar. I emailed him a pic of my guitar. Full disclosure, I sent him *this* pic of my guitar. I absolutely won't regret this later, will I? 😁

Got myself a jade tree as a reward for recording the song soundcloud.com/user-8320756...

Odd little coincidence: A few days ago I ordered a jade tree from Home Depot; they didn't have them in stock here in Orlando. Just checked the shipping tracking; it shipped from Olive Branch, MS. And to think I was done with Olive Branch. @mephitfurmeet.org

Recent project: recording all the parts of a big band chart. I didn't pass the audition for the junior high jazz band at band camp and I missed out on playing this piece. Until now. Fifty years later. soundcloud.com/user-8320756...

Today's puzzle: deciding how to resolve a discrepancy (it's near my index finger) while wearing a Boozy Badger T shirt

Pointing to a mismatch between the notated chord and the chord symbol on the piano part of The Jade Tree by Sammy Nestico because this is what I fixate on.

I did the thing. Started out with Minnesota in the lead, shifted to Nevada, ended up in Nebraska. Never lived in any of them. Missouri native, college in Arkansas and Massachusetts, currently live in Florida, have always felt self-conscious about my vocabulary and accent.

Just got an email that says I'm about to get a check for my share of Fringe ticket sales. I had no idea there was any revenue to speak of, so, I'm happy to get a cheeseburger out of the deal. Or, barring that, anything off the dollar menu.

No MFM this year, and Cosmik and I are just thrashing around for substitute Labor Day plans. So far everything's prohibitively far away, prohibitively expensive, or both.

Noticing artists going on a blocking spree today because they cherish their bad opinions... If you really want to argue the point, yeah, I guess it can be too late to change your mind. After you're dead. If you're still alive, I don't see how it can be too late. But that's just me.

"Holiday stuff?" might be clarified soon. Actually pre-holiday, pre-Halloween even. In the city that never sleeps. One of those things that will be fun to talk about on social media but won't actually be a gigantic step forward. But what do I know?

Posted my recent Ony thread to FurAffinity, where it won't get as lost in the fast-flowing current. The response so far has been, shall I say, worthy of study.

My long-suffering rock opera “Ony, The Runaway Circus Bear” is shelved. For now. The factors which would compel me to either go forward with a completion and release, or an outright mercy killing, are outside of my control. But is that true? I’ll let you decide. 1/?

Falsetto vocals worthy of hair metal. Captured for all time on @foxamoore.bsky.social songs like "End Tide" and "Goldeneyes".

Announcement soon; it's taken me this long to even figure out what to say. In the meantime, I'll leave you with this thought that isn't mine but I liked it... Maybe the real dazzling wondrous unbelievable traveling circus was the friends we made along the way.

Still haven't decided what to say about the recent events at AC, because it's not about me, really not about me, but I'm still dealing with the fallout of how it affects me.

Just replaced the foam earpieces on an old pair of headphones, thinking I'd start using them again. But they're out of phase. Probably why I stopped using them in the first place. No idea how I did this. No idea if I can learn how to fix them. Anyone had to deal with this?
