Editing and the works

Another stream of conciousness while I'm stuck at home. Not stuck in a literal sense; I have a car and there's gas in it. I'm stuck in a mental way. I've been working on the final final final edit of Unworried all weekend. Thursday night I started it and today it's done and now I'm in this between state where I need to pick my fiance up in four or five hours from Altona which is thirty minutes away and I'm just kinda sitting here unable to make a real decision. It feels like I'm devoid of dopamine, which in turns means I'm devoid of decision making, which in turn means I'm sitting on the couch with my laptop and my phone switching between Reddit and Instagram like it's nobody's business. Scroll, I should stop, scroll on bigger screen, I should stop, email checking, scrolling I should stop. STOP! 

So i coded(claude coded but I pay for the subscription so its MINE) I coded a spin the wheel program and had it spin between gaming, writing, reading, and going to the gym. I should go to the gym since I didn't yesterday and there's no reason for me to be sitting here by myself lazy and digesting half a pizza from yesterday which did not sit well in my stomach last night and sure as shit didn't help my morning. I'll leave that image in your head for a minute. Sit with it like I did for twenty minutes. Pine scented febreeze and a tepid shower was the solution. After that derma rolled my scalp because I'm getting to that age and sat my ass down and got to work. Ten hours roughly I've spent since Thursday working on this thing. Lord willing not a minute more. It's ready to be published but I still want some eyes on it. If you're interested, find me on instagram at chxse.wntr or email me on here. OR LEAVE A COMMENT- there's been one total comment since I started this blog in September. One comment, a hundred posts. What the hell guys. 

So I'm typing and updating you with my most recent mundane Saturdays. I used to be a social butterfly but now I yearn for these days where I'm alone and able to just exist clean in my sweatpants and hood and not talk or do or go at all. Just me and my laptop. My lovely macbook. If I didn't have it, I'd go crazy.

I did some calculations and blah blah and across all media and formats, I've written 255042 words since June. If I'm good, I might be able to push it to 30000 by May. Lord willing. That's it. Thanks!

An Unexpected End

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of attending the release party for An Unexpected End’s newest single, All Together in Denver . The band, abbreviated as AUE, has roots in Winkler and Morden, Manitoba, and has been touring across the country since 2020. They’re expected to push an album out in the next year, with rumors of release as early as 2026. I was invited on a whim by one of the baristas at my local coffeeshop, Whitecap, last week. They handed me a card with a photo and a road number on it, and told me they’d see me on Friday. When Friday night rolled around, I punched the road number into my GPS, and it told me the yard was between this town and the next, then a little up the road. I drove along harvested pastures towards the stop sign, then took a left. A lone deer made its presence known on the shoulder but never dared to cross until I’d passed. With the windows down, I coasted along the path towards the barn. Little girls in dresses ran on the road, giggling and chasing their ...

Feature or Function: Extraction Shooters Need Drive

ARC Raiders - Embark Studios This evening I was fortunate enough to get my hands on the stress-test demo of Embark Studio's newest IP: ARC Raiders. The game, which promised to revolutionize and make extraction shooter's accessible, leaves me with more questions than a desire to keep playing. What changed in the formula other than an articulate ambiance and a fresh coat of paint with Unreal Engine 5's capabilities?  What exactly is an extraction shooter (ES)?  In simple terms, an extraction shooter is a type of videogame where the players drop or spawn into an area, loot the area, and get out. If you die in the zone, you typically lose all or some of the loot you gathered or came into the map with. Often, we see PvP or PvE or PvPvE mixes for this type of game.  The PvP elements mixed with the loop are what make an extraction shooter an ‘extraction shooter.’  You can do ES without PvP, but the loop is the defining factor. The getting in and getting out with stuff is th...

Interview with Matt Graham

Image
The following is a transcript from an interview with Matt Graham, the lead bassist and singer of MattstaGraham. The band, based in Tucson, Arizona, is on the last leg of their Canadian Tour- opening for punk-rock classics "The Buzzcocks" and "The Descendants."   Yellow Paint , the band's third and most recent LP, brings all of the best qualities of their past works together with a fresh coat of flair. The production of the album feels like a pair of your favourite Etnies from that one year at summer camp; comfortable and familiar with enough grip on the bottom to rip around town in.  Graham, 33, has been a staple in Tucson's local music scene since high school, working with a variety of bands and artists like Nica Spritz, Isaac Cabrera of The Winter Without You , Taylor Carroll of  Cement Shoes , and Trevor Hedges of Sundressed . Producing, leading, playing bass, and singing fall within his spectrum of talent- a talent that comes from a fiery desire to creat...
