I improvised and recorded most of this on January 1. Temp title is "Surf Merlin Casts Fireball"; still workshopping that.

Celestas make for interesting keyboard solos.

Hey VA friends: a reminder to always ask (politely and professionally) if something feels off.
Got about 1/3 of the way through recording for a project & noticed retake dates hadn't been booked. I asked the engineer when he'd like to book something and my stomach DROPPED.

huge fan of the street in downtown Chicago that just shouts random words at you

@marktaylormusic I scribbled “I should write a tango” in the margins of a notebook during a meeting a few weeks ago and I feel I’m more likely to frame that sentence over my desk.

@MaggieRobots Also, in confirming this, I discovered that the original title actually translates to “Inhabitant of Infinity”, which I now need to get printed on my school ID

[Burban477 @Burban477]

@MaggieRobots The beautifully rendered carnage reminds me of the Blade of the Immortal manga by Hiroaki Samura (who is so detailed with the pencil art that a fair amount of the pages didn’t get inked)

@devlingrimm My reaction to this is pleasantly complicated

[Burban477 @Burban477]

@TinseltownMayor In this case: “Freedom/The Execution/Bannockburn”,

But most foundationally; “Brother and Sister/Father and Son/The Fleet Enters Hyperspace”

@TinseltownMayor Top tier James Horner… reinforced my appreciation for soundtrack cues with titles featuring one or more inline slashes…

@aalgar This is the pure joy of an educator witnessing someone else learn the difference between wind and burglars.

Laura Ingalls Wilder SUCKS. (This is apparently historically verified)

Keiko O'Brien is a solid 3 on the Danielson framework (I'll need to do a re-watch to confirm, but there's some solid parent communication on record there).

I've picked up a new hobby over the past year-and-a-half; getting incredibly catty and judgmental about the educational practice of any fictional teacher (or school) in shows or movies I watch.

Broadly applicable to all kinds of bigotry. Sharing accurate science is important, but opinions based on entrenched personal prejudice are unlikely to be changed just by the presentation of more accurate data

[Burban477 @Burban477]

@aalgar my exposure to Darkest of the Hillside Thickets was (remains) incredibly gradual, and I’ve now discovered the absolute banger that is “A Marine Biologist”

libraries are "wading into a culture war" by "continuing to exist and doing the thing they were doing all along" (lending books)

I had a miscarriage last night and the first thing I had to do was Google if I broke a law.

I didn’t even know I was pregnant. I was 8 days late.

Just, uh, sit with that for a second.

[Burban477 @Burban477]

@betterthemask @nothe I cannot parse, process, and comment on this without it sounding and looking like a primal Martin Short style scream…

[Burban477 @Burban477]

Surely writing long-form labels with implied cockney accents will help me organize the garage…

[Burban477 @Burban477]

Saw the word from a funny angle and now I can’t avoid mentally pronouncing “racquet” as “rəh-KAY”

[Burban477 @Burban477]

@aalgar Wow, you poked a nest of bots...

...I should try this later.
