Storytime p. 24.

NAILS was my character in Cyberpunk. (The 1988 tabletop role-playing game)

She was a solo, a person who was willing to wash other peoples dirty laundry. Figuratively speaking. She was resourceful, fast thinking & moving, and when it came to dealing problems with firearms or fists, she was unstoppable. You could almost say… you know what’s coming… she was tough as… nails.

Then she got arrested and was sent to prison.

The trial and sentence was a huge sham, orchestrated by unknown forces. I mostly blamed the GM.

After some time in the slammer, she made her risky move. She faked an sporting accident, in which she was actually injured, and during a transport to a hospital she escaped.

She was a bloody mess, but she got out!

About the tune, well, it’s appropriate for this little story of mine.

Tirade.

Have you tried typing “Classical Music” in yOt00B?

It’s a total overload overload of Mozarella and Beathoffen.

But where are your Cages & Nancarrows, Johnstons & Stockhausens?

The answer: Buried deep, under the surface of algorithms. Such shame. Stupid algorithms.

I was tempted to call this one “Treacherous Banana” or “Sub-Terranean Deceit”, or something equally silly, but in the end I settled for CANON IN C FOR WOODWINDS AND ORGAN.

Because that’t what it is.

Absolutely.

Girls & Boys.

Oh hey, look who just progressed into the 80s CHILLS.

1980’s that is. I still haven’t visited the earlier ones. Or maybe 1280’s a little.

Yeah, I know that the 80’s is no longer cool, and the 90’s nostalgia is the hip new thing. I guess… ‘cos at least I’ve seen people wearing the mom jeans with the non-existent legs.

Oh you magnificent Lord of Fads, please don’t let them bring back the boat shoes! Nor fanny packs, the high-pitched snare drums or the hair! Not the hair!

Spice Boys. Now that’s memory from the 90’s that instantly gives me joy. Maybe Spice Girls too.

Quality bass player never gets bored.

If there’s a single word that nicely describes BACK TO BASIC, it’s “horizontal”.

Sure, I started the job vertical, made 2 bars sound neat. Then 4, which I expanded into a 16 bar (?) chord structure. Little by little I spreaded the mass to last fourish minutes.

Painter painted a house, blue and red.

The tune sounded pretty cool, even in this cold wednesday morning. Reminded me of better times.

You know…

… That’s it! I’m off to finish writing a joke that has been formulating in my text files for years!

… To end this writing session on a high note.

Like 4 weeks ago.

… ‘cos sometimes you gotta go slow, high & low. You may have to put your feelings aside, and just focus on that one thing, that requires a helluva lot on concentration and poise. That, of course, can be said about a bunch of things like surfing, panting or repairing a damaged monocle, without the risk of repeating yourself. YUNNAAYA. But then again, who of us is to say when to completely stop regarding your emotions, and purely rely on rules, that were probably written by some Belgian, several hundred years ago? Them of us maybe, but wouldn’t you nonetheless say “sardines”, ‘cos sometimes you gotta…

It just sounds funny.

What you’re about to hear is almost effortless guitar playing. Gee whiz!

Both of the guitar tracks are (almost) edit-free. Yours truly played ’em in on one take, and the takes you hear are also the first takes. This post contains more takes than the tune. Amazing!

Well, to be perfectly honest, on the first guitar, I kinda missed final beat, so I was forced to cut the track, and move the latter part a bit. This was the (almost) from the previous paragraph.

This ain’t no honky tonk or donkey konk. This is SPLONKY DONK.

Fab Feb.

Welcome to February!

What a fabulous month this is! 28 days placed perfectly inside 4 calendar weeks. My heart sings a merry song everytime this kind of occurrences happen.

Funfact: 29th of February is in Finland commonly known as “karkauspäivä” (=the day of escaping).

So, sorry for all of you, who are in dire need of getting away: You’ll have to wait until 2024.

Also, MAKING FACES.

Also 2, this post contains a hidden & very childish joke.

Daffy.

Complete transcript of KENT REVISED would be small leaves in a big tree.

Me:

– Me after shower: “Hmm, should I put moisturizer in my face? Nah, I’ll put some tomorrow.” Me: Puts moisturizer.

– Me in the grocery store: “I feel like cooking some healthy food. Maybe salad of some kind of a risotto?” Me: Picking up a ham-cheese-pepperoni-ham-n-spam frozen pizza.

– Me in the evening: “Hmm, movie or gaming? I think I’ll go with the movie. Me: Starts reading a book.

What’s this thing, and does it have a name? Like, when you make an absolute decision of mundane nature, and immediately switch it.

Switchision. Yeah, that works.

SERENDIPITY SERENADE was the result of: “I don’t feel like playing acoustic guitar today.”
