I’m not surprised to learn that Benn Jordan also has (many of us artists and musicians do). Bless him for shining a light on what’s been causing the treatment shortage for it, and fuck the DEA.

I spent most of the day cutting and trimming a rug to fit my studio better, now that I have speaker stands. And I only burned myself once with the glue gun. Huzzah!

In addition to Mirlo, I intend to get my music up on Faircamp, Funkwhale, Jam Co-op, etc.

But it took more time than I expected to get established on Mirlo, so when I went to the Faircamp site and saw a completely different setup that looks even more complicated, my brain was like NOPE. DRUGS ALL GONE. NOT ENOUGH BRAINS LEFT FOR TASK. :AAAAAA:

But I’ll get there. Eventually. :catPOWER:

It took me nearly all afternoon and ALL of my drug-assisted Executive Function, but I finally have my music up on Mirlo!

Things I’ve forgotten to do today:

1. Eat food
2. Drink water
3. Stand up periodically
4. Laundry
5. Shop for Xmas gifts

And what do I have to show for it?
Fixing a vocal part I’m planning to RE-SING ANYWAY. OMFG

Mixing with is hard.

Why is this plug in turned off? Did I mean to turn it off permanently, or just temporarily to listen to something else?

Did I know what I was doing when I set my attack and release? Did I figure it out mathematically based on the length of the drum kick, or the bpm of the song? Or did I just twist the knobs 'til it sounded good? Were my ears fresh when I did that? Are they fresher now?

Meme of Steve Carrell as Michael Scott in the Office. Text at top says "Memory-recall ability of an ADHD person:"
Top panel shows him looking confident, saying "And I knew exactly what to do." 
Bottom panel shows him furrowing his eyebrows, looking concerned and saying "But in a much more real sense I had no idea what to do."

I was playing back my latest mix and thinking hmm, everything sounds so crisp and clean and...separated. Guess I'm gonna have to throw some more reverb on this to glue it all together!

And then I discovered I had turned off ALL THE REVERBS. 😂 😬 :catPOWER:

Hey it’s Awareness Month.
Today I recorded some vocal harmonies I previously forgot I needed to record. I also did some laundry.
I still have to wash and water Frances McDormand. 🌱

Four frame panel of the actor Mads Mikkelsen. He has his hand up to his face in the 1st frame, just spacing out. He is smoking a cigarette in the 2nd frame. He is drinking a glass of wine in the third frame. In the 4th frame, he is drinking wine while holding a cigarette in the same hand. 
The text at the top says “Me after completing exactly one (1) task on my to do list.”

I almost forgot it’s ADHD Awareness Month. I was diagnosed in November 2021 after several of my friends posted ADHD memes and I recognized myself in them.

Finally being diagnosed and on meds has been great, overall. It’s not a super power, even tho medication definitely empowers me.

Being on meds doesn’t give me more spoons, but it does mean my spoons are no longer all slotted.

I would get so much more accomplished in life if, every time I accomplished a task, someone handed me a kitten to cuddle.

I can tell when the meds have worn off b/c I start making up songs for my cats.

I’m writing some real bangers, such as

“You’re Just a Sweet Lil’ Loaf of Bread”

and

“Do You Have To Sniff Your Brother’s Butt?”

Trying to figure out how I could work Morse code into a new song I've just barely started writing, instead of comping vocals on a song I should've already been done re-producing and mixing by now. :catPOWER: :AAAAAA:

I should write fortune cookie fortunes. There's probably not a lot of money in that, but probably more than there is in music streaming.

Just wrote an absolute banger of a song, “It’s Time For Crunchies” voted #1 Best Pop Song by my cats.

I’ve gone from “I have so many ideas for this song!”

to

“I am so sick of working on this song!”

The more I see/read about the Barbie movie, the more I am excited to (eventually) watch the Barbie movie.

But

I keep getting the Girl song by Aqua stuck in my head every time I see/read about the Barbie movie.

C’MON BARBIE, LET’S GO DEFEAT THE PATRIARCHY!

Me: staring at my spouse adoringly, studying the lines and pores on his face, waiting patiently for him to get to a good stopping point in his work so I can infodump on him about Otamatones.

I know I have been masking most of my life, but I don’t know how exactly, and don’t know what I would be like to *not* mask.

And for years, I attributed many of my habits to being half-deaf. :welp:

Especially the perfectionism and not asking people to repeat themselves!
