Very productive work day
I don’t think I eat too much junk, but I’m trying to eat healthier. BUT the ‘bad’ stuff tastes good! Sometimes in look in the pantry and the chips or chocolate or biscuits or icecream is calling to me. We live in a world of food engineered to hit the sweet/salty/fatty sweet spot in the brain. It’s hard to resist. Anyway, today was not a day of resistance, looking at you salt and vinegar chips.
The poison is in the portion. I had two chocky bikkies for dessert.
Which you have just reminded me I have an unopened bag of...

Today I am listening to some classic electronic and ambient music
Oxygene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlURDUaB27o

Been a while since I've heard Jean. Really good stuff. Hugely impacted EDM.
On oxygene just two of the synths he used today (not his actual ones they'd be worth a fortune) is close $100k which is nuts.
Here's one:

These days you can emulate it on the 'puter for $20 (and get close to the sound 'but never quite there').
electronic music was different then, seemed simpler
But I'm very far from knowing anything, it's just how I experience it as a listener
"and get close to the sound ‘but never quite there" , humans are just incredible at discerning differences in sound

I had to reset my online access to the libraries. Looking at my history I can’t even remember half the books in it.
I read the local papers from cities i used to live and read the most heartbreaking story from Detroit. A woman let two of her children die of the cold, she just had too many children, they all lived in a van and she couldn't look after them. It's like something out Gorky's My Childhood. She could have gotten help, it's not like there is none, but I expect she was depressed and isolated. 😔

I had a rather vivid but weird dream that I mostly can't remember except it involved having to take a break on a road trip somewhere subtropical due to heavy rain and being welcomed at a stranger's place where they had us sit down for dinner with them and it was jovial and lovely. The guy was a taxi driver.
The most memorable part was that the guy started making tomato sauce using powder from a packet 🤔
I had a dream about finding my boyfriends pyjamas in the form of wide leg jeans in Cotton On (they're really awesome Catzilla jamis) and while I was contemplating buying them I discovered that a boba tea place in Eastland was actually using their tea to fuel experiments and making people deranged. Then I ate ramen with some random people and when I went to pack up my duffle bag, there was sooo much random stuff in it that I'd never seen before.
Dreams are so weird.
That's actually pretty rad. I love me some deranged tea conspiracies - out of Eastland no less. Now I need to look for these jammies...
It’s been a while since I’ve posted YouTube links on Lemmy, (like as a post and not in comments).
Maybe forget but, I copy link from YouTube and paste into the URL section in the create post page and normally generates a post title automatically that I just click on
That doesn’t seem to work now? Am I forgetting something?
