  • I Trundle Not Along the Inside of a Fossilized Skull, but Onwards

    Today is Day 14. I didn't really want to do it, but a part of my mind insisted. Yes, I do not have complete control of all of my mental modules. Such are the days. So today is day 14. I didn't really want to do it, but one of my mental modules began a countdown. At least I got to choose to name this day *fourteen* as opposed to *fifteen*, making the day when I actually depart day *zero* instead of *one*. It makes more sense to the majority of the remainder of my mental modules this way.

    I shall create a short sequence on the Argon8, which I am yet to name, even after three years - oh silly me - to accompany this writing. It will be of the chord sequence I was practising yesterday. C melodic minor to B dorian.

    For future reference, if, indeed, there is a future apart from the next few moments, I played a C bass, then a g b ees g arpeggio above it. I repeated the C bass and followed with a f a d ees arpeggio. Oh, the dissonance! D comes next in the bass, the minor 3rd of the "chord", and above it fis a b e, throwing in the 11th for a feeling of uncertainty. D repeats in the bass and we then sense ourselves at ease, almost, with e gis b and cis. But oh the 13th! What tragedy!

  • Antisemitism

    The worst country in the world right now should be easy to criticize without stuff like the Khazar myth, “they run the media” protocol ramblings, holocaust denial, or calls for genocide.

    I’ve put away more than one Middle-Eastern politics book in disgust after running into one of those old stink bombs. I’m like “Oh, great, a book on the one-state solution that opposes Hafrada, awesome, that’s where I’m at, even before the incredibly brutal incursions in 2008 (let alone 2012 and 2014 and the absolute horror show of 2023), this is going to be a great reference” and then a few chapters in it’s like Khazars this and Otto Frank’s ballpoint pen that and I’m like what the hell?!

    You’re not helping anyone when you trot out those stale old lies.

    • ROOPHLOCH 2024

      I'm not a native blogger/phlogger/gemlogger. I do not often write articles.

      I'm a bad english writer, but I wanted to write this in english.

      Today is the last day of September, so it has to be TODAY.

      acpi says "3:20 remaining", but I assume the time the battery will last will be a bit shorter. A sun-driven power supply would be nice!
