Having some fun with #Amaziograph

Mad at leafblower dude, but no. He’s not the one who thought super-pollen trees and rock piles were a pleasing mix.

This is the landscaper’s fault.

Death to landscapers!

Wait they’re just doing what owners want.

Death to owners!

Anyways, headphone time.

@thegibson I’m sure you know how to find resources, but if you have random beardy thoughts or questions: I’ve watched the YouTube videos, then clicked Like and Subscribe, so you don’t have to.

@thegibson there are more and less effective approaches. I studied up so I wouldn’t end up looking like my brother, who’d get change tossed in his cup if he tried to drink coffee on a park bench.

@thegibson single biggest lifesaver: get you some beard oil.

Couple drops a day help with face health under the scruff and also itchiness, which will be a recurring issue as hair reaches new places that are unaccustomed to it.

Tangling my orgconfig crashed my VM.

So clearly I’m doing something right.

Trying out the Lollipop music player. The interface is nice. Some of the lookup code could use work.

“Girl Band” is not “Girl”

@thegibson had to go back to the screenshot, as I was on the “random albums” screen.

Yes, yes it does indeed!

A lot of my “unstoppable” music is more Girl Band or Ambassador, which give off this feeling of having been fucked up so thoroughly that any further fuckage from the universe will be barely noticed.

@thegibson the peppier side of that mindset would be Man Man or Brent Amaker.

@thegibson those are the best. I lock a lot of memories and emotions in my music. Makes nostalgia a bit of a land mine, but it’s how I work.
