Rainy Ruin ROOPHLOCH Ramble
I'm writing this on my phone while sitting on a bench under some some trees, overlooking a ruined abbey (although the other main "feature" of this bench is that it's right in the wind, so I may have to move if this post gets too long, for the sake of my chilly fingers!)
I have recently bought a second hand netbook (originally from c. 2009) with the intention of taking it on holidays/trips to do gemlog travel diaries (time will tell whether that actually happens...) and had planned for ROOPHLOCH to be its first outing. The weather here in the UK has taken a distinctly damp turn in recent weeks so I decided instead to use my (waterproof) phone again!

Thoughts on the Electro-Harmonix Superego
I've been collecting pedals this year with the aim of messing around with and making some ambient music. Prior to that, I only had pedals which I'd characterize as "useful if I wanted to play in a band" - a Big Muff, a Blues Driver, a delay pedal (DD-3), a chorus pedal (CH-1).

I hate Reddit
I am perennially short on time, so tonight's thought is "I hate Reddit". Accursed be that website. It activates the problem-solving, social-connection seeking part of my brain, which in turn leaves me "buzzed" even after I stop using it.
