a writer's notebook
Living inside my music library today. I set my alarm to give me a 30-minute lay-in and somehow woke up naturally ninety minutes early, so I foresee naps in my immediate future. Processed all the overnight email and am down to inbox 2 for the day. Filed a script a week early last night and, with the decks cleared, I’m looking at an eight-page piece I have to get out for Friday and am thinking about the immediate future. G’morning.

Lauren Walker’s reaction to CASTLEVANIA 309 still cracks me the fuck up.
Inbox 22, I have a phone conference in a couple of hours, and two or three scripts to get out of the door by Monday. And a whole lot of emergency planning to do. Here we go.

The thing about the streaming boom is that it really dropped the prices on physical media. I am therefore both very happy and very cheap.

A sonic history of Klaus Schulze. There’s 15 of these box sets. Might as well get started — it’s the equivalent of that huge key novel you’ve been assuming you’ll save for a long holiday or your retirement years.
Comments closedI own a lot of this person’s work, and I figure a full 42-minute peaceful drift is good for everybody today.

We’re not going full End Times over here, you understand, but bleakly beautiful visuals with bleakly beautiful music by Simon Fisher Turner is better than looking at the feeds or the news for me today.
