CNC hack
My almost-ten-year-old computer was starting to struggle, so I popped in 16 more gigs of ram for like twenty bucks and overclocked the processor from 3.6GHz to 4.2GHz and now it's like a brand new machine!

I've had a spider plant for about a year and a half now. It's gotten quite large and made a few babies, but until this spring every flower it has produced has died within days. Now it's got a shoot with babies and nearly a dozen healthy flowers. The plant seems to be doing fine regardless, but it makes me happy to see.
My asparagus fern on the other hand, is looking yellow and sad. Still, I made it through the winter without losing a single houseplant (barely), so that's a first.

I recently installed an SD retribution into my ESP, and holy shit does it sound better than the 81-7x. It's clearer and tighter on the low end, but still has the same kind of punchiness. The 81-7x was a lot middier and less suited to the blackened death metal stuff I'm currently writing.

Wife is away for the whole weekend, so it's just me and my 2 daughters at home. It's the first time she's away from our 1yo overnight, so we were a bit nervous about how the night would go without any breastfeeding. But it went super well, I didn't need to get up to feed her at all during the night and she only woke up once and that was when I came to bed.
Also I thought I was out of coffee filters, but then I found another 100pcs box in the cupboard and I had bacon for breakfast (wife can't stand the smell so I don't do that often).

man i just love playing shows and seeing other bands so much. its like a cathartic experience for me that really helps with my mental health. i basically got to sleep as my kids were waking me up again and now am working some OT, i should be exhausted but i feel great. after we got done i went to the bar and on the way there saw a few people wearing our hats, turns out we sold a ton of merch last night which is really going to help with more studio time.

I’m at 1 month
Just a little addition to this for those who may find it hopeful; despite some crazy life things landing on my lap, despite work having some pretty intense days, my mood hasn’t changed a single bit.
Today’s the 1-month mark since I ‘got sick and tired of being sick and tired’ and man, life is a LOT easier when you remain constant instead of wishing the things around you did.
Being grateful has gone a long way for me. Just acknowledging small things around me, regularly, and taking a second to appreciate those things are in my life. Making it to work hitting all green lights*, the right song coming on at the right time, having a job that allows me to step up to the plate and prove I’m capable of taking it all on, coming home to a comfy apartment filled with my favorite guitars in the world, etc.
Dropping the cynicism was probably the #1 contributor to this. I was in such a shitty headspace for so long that my default mode was assuming everything was being done intentionally or because someone’s an asshole. Not even allowing those thoughts to form to begin with put an end to it right away.
* I remember last year or so, Mathew McConaughey was doing press for a book he wrote called Greenlights, I never read it but from his interview on Stern I gathered it’s about his perception on life that has created a situation where it’s always felt like he’s being greenlit to move ahead, to whatever capacity that may be. That’s exactly what life feels like right now.

Awww shiiiiiii, fellas
The main project I was on is going on hold so I'm moving over to my 2nd project full time which ends at the end of May
So I am officially moving back to the States in July. I'm just going to go back home for now and get everything transferred back to the US and then figure out where I'll go from there. It looks like there's probably going to be a writer's strike in May so work is most likely going to slow down for a bit.
🥳🥳
Can't wait to say goodbye to baguette land. It was cool to experience at first I guess. But ..whew... thanks to Covid and other stuff, I've been here way longer than I ever intended. Time...to ... GOOOooooooooooooooooo!!!

For a moment I forgot this was the happy thread, 'cause I'm mildly sad to see someone leave Baguette Land.

I'm just sad to see an American wanna leave the Great North.
Tha-that's fine! We didn't want you anyway! Gotdang foreigners taking our jobs and leeching off of our healthcare system!
(lots of sarcasm; congrats on being able to go through with the move sooner, hopefully)

haha it's the dang housing market that's the main reason I'm moving. I looked at ON. ...I looked everywhere... And..yeah...
I even looked at Winnipeg! ...WINNIPEG!! *desperation sets inI've vented about the housing market enough on here that I think ya'll know what i mean haha
If i can find a way to make lots of money and get super rich then I may come back up this way
I am officially Canadian now too after all so I can come back whenever now! haha oh that's on my list of places to visit someday! Not sure I'd want to live there though 🥶
