After all these years I finally hit the wall and needed to buy a computer thingy. Yes, all my posts and all the work I have done have been over mobile (including right now). Guess from here I’m going to end up getting television, wifi, netflix, and all that other stuff I hear people talk about.
I think I mentioned once that I’m a minimalist with a very Fortress of Solitude state of living. No facebook, linkedin, twitter, snapchats, or anything like that. My online life is a lot of music and a comparatively small amount of cars (but seems like a ton if you don’t know the volume of music I study at random). I jump on Oppo when I’m off work or before I start work.
This isn’t cleaned out, I just went through the day’s materials. I usually keep two or three gallons of water in here plus whatever I’m going to eat for the next day. Know that Im inside grocery stores all day everyday and travel extensively. I just like open space and zero waste. This is my tranquility.
I avoid having people over because then I have to purchase just enough to cover the visit. It takes me weeks to get everything back to my one day stock. I’ve been living like this for about 2.5 years. Before my budget was $200 a week for food and entertainment. Now it’s almost down to $100 a week including food, entertainment, auto care and maintenance, incidentals, and anything that isn’t a fixed payment/subscription.
My mind and my work are pretty wild and constant high energy so when I’m home I need the environment to be the complete opposite to quiet myself down.
My thoughts are like a hive of wasps and every wasp is obsessed with a single thought that is only one word long. They all sting me and my mind and my head and my brain immediately move to each stab while keeping a foot in a fixed location. It’s like a constant, very noisy, electric game of twister.
If you all are ever curious as to what I’m currently listening to or studying ask anytime since the answers are usually extremely wide in stride. Back in December, Dave asked me what music best describes the my compositions (since I cant post performances or sound files of my works without giving away my anonymity). I’m still picking through music, I haven’t forgotten! It was just a very good question that involves a ton of listening until I can get it summed up into about 90 seconds of sounds.

You need a few TV dinners for the freezer - congrats on the new machine, hope you like it. I really prefer working off a laptop over any other mobile devices - lots easier.

It’s computer night on Oppo, apparently! I ordered a new MacBook not one hour ago (my first new computer in six years).

It’s not going to last much longer. I’m enjoying my life so I know someone is going to come along and fix that for me.

What if you’ve already changed into your jammies and you get a sudden craving for Doritos? Or ice cream? You can’t always predict what your cravings will be.
What if you decide you want to bake some cookies at midnight?
What if you decide you want an omelet in the morning, even though you were at the grocery store yesterday evening and thought you’d want waffles for breakfast so you bought those instead of eggs?
There’s a reason certain foods are called staples, because most people use them on a regular enough basis to keep them on hand all the time. Stuff like milk, eggs, cheese, flour, sugar, rice, root veggies, etc.
I mean, even if you don’t like staples, but you know you’re gonna want an omelet tomorrow so you get a half dozen eggs, you’re still gonna have three eggs leftover.
Empty kitchens are utterly alien and slightly horrifying to me. Kitchens need to have a good supply of staples, a well stocked spice cabinet, and a well stocked pantry filled with dry goods and some canned or jarred stuff. Ingredients you can combine in myriad ways to make every meal of the day, from breakfast to dinner to dessert.

Need to get a wireless mouse soon. those trackpads get boring and awkward quickly.
Something like an M705, M280 or M510.

My thoughts exactly I dont mind a messy kitchen because kitchens are workshops and a perfect empty kitchen is an unused factory.

If I ever live with another animal or extremely exotic plant then I’ll compromise. Right now though I simply write my cravings in my journal and schedule to return to each craving at a more opportune time and WOW! I might need to loosen up and get away from a glass of water being a “bedtime snack.” Ok, let me just find where I can schedule spontaneity...

I know you meant that as a joke, but a completely empty kitchen is.... strange, to say the least.

I love this. One of the happiest times of my life was when I sold everything down to what could fit into a duffle bag and a backpack. Now I have 100 books in my living room plus assorted knick knacks and dog toys, and electronics, and cables, and paperwork. I need to purge again.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Like the chick you got handsy with only AFTER you realized she was too drunk to know what was going on? The one who won’t talk to you anymore?
