The more time I spend in geminispace, the more I realize how little communcation I'm getting on Twitter. Mind you, I still love going on Twitter -- but it's pure entertainment. It's just memes and bloodsport. Occassionally bits of news. But no communication.
I recorded a really nice guitar idea that I found during my lunch break. I've been playing around with open tunings since seeing a video from Adrianne Lenker about them, and it's been quite freeing. I've always been very hesitant about moving out of standard tuning, because I was worried that I'd somehow become a worse guitarist once I lost my fretboard knowledge. Quite the opposite, it feels like I've gained something -- I'm able to explore and listen as if I was a beginner, and that's wonderful.
Also fixed the jack on the shitty bass that I bought. Been working on this folk track with someone from r/bedroombands. Tracked some bass for it and tightened up some rhythm guitar parts. Hopefully I get something decently pleasant at the end.

I have found that the amount of energy I have left after work is constant, no matter how much effort I actually have put into my job. So, I suppose the lesson is that I should put in maximum effort into my job, and hope that maybe the I can stretch out any flow state effects in to my after-work, after-dinner grind.≈
