Out of Tune, 8"x10" inkjet overprinting
Out of Tune, 8"x10" inkjet overprinting on rice paper (10/2013)
I'm just banging these out, haha! Trying to get ahead of things because I'll be doing a lot of travel in the next couple of months. This is my monthly summary layout for November.
Worked on next week's layouts a little early. More fun with color schemes!
The Operation was most orgiastic, but I formulated the God well and called aloud after his name. The Gluten of the Eagle was not very plentiful, and the Lion was not very thoroughly dissolved therein. Still, I think the Elixir was formed well enough.

This is what my husband brought us home yesterday. Luckily its only the windscreen. There was glass in the car too but nothing thats bad enough to injure him!
From all he can gather it was a bird (possibly a pheasant) that hit the car at full impact on the middle of the busy M3. This could have gone terribly wrong, he was quite lucky.
Our son was most enamoured by the recovery vehicle delivering our car and his dad. He was allowed to move the ramp back (using the little levers on the real thing) and was mightily impressed. Here is his rendition of it:
Love my son! Today I attached a ceiling lamp in my husbands bedroom/office, a simple affair of three spotlights. What does my son say Oh nice, three lights. Now dad can illuminate three different spiderwebs!
Things that lamps are useful for.
One thing is for sure, this abomination wont move with us into the new apartment.
The dangers of Denglish. In October 2018 my son had asked me where his compass was and I said I didnt know but would look for it, thinking I had seen the thing somewhere, after all he needed it for Scouts fairly regularly. He asked again the night before he needed it in school. We never found it. On the way to school he finally said what he meant in German It was the compass to draw circles, not the one for navigation. In German the one to draw circles is called, wait for it: Zirkel. It never entered my mind that he meant that one. But at least I did know where it was
This one just crossed my way on Facebook Memories. I decided it was a good one for my long neglected blog.
DiaryCant wait to read this of a cousin. So cool.
Sometimes it's just time to spray things black.
For how much I hate moving, every 2-3 years since I was 10 years old is a lot, right
I hate moving still.

A diagram re what was essentially an algorithm. I wasn't thinking about AI back then, but it's essentially an idea for shuffling sounds in real-time, a few years before "shuffle play" entered the lexicon.
Pattern Theory #1
Running internal diagnostics on music subsystems. Uncertain results. An angular abstract for today's offering.
This week's layout. Got a couple new stamp colours in, so I thought I'd play around. Enjoying this orange/warm pink colour scheme. :) Definitely more suited to the season!

Cloudy
Socked in with fatigue today. Awakened from a nap and played slow dream music. Today's entry for my neglected .
Earlier that day, our diarist watches the hanging of an officer, he sees the man's bodyparts being torn out and displayed to the public. The new king asserts his power. Having witnessed this state violence, Samuel comes home and breaks the basked that he had bought for his wife when working for the king's return.
As always with Pepys, his entries are an incredible mix of brutal clear-sightedness and an utter lack of self-awareness. Gripping.
Cold/blustery/gray, 50 degrees. Up at the crack of 4AM, fitful sleep, vague dream about being in a hotel playing a guitar (chord was Cmaj7#11) Worked on Oct7 piece.

Gorgeous, 82 degrees.
The turntable is now the established "musical instrument". Instead of taking your child for piano lessons, you take them for scratch lessons instead. (On the other hand, you can make more compelling art faster than you would on the piano.)
Idea: Pre-categorized web pages that automatically get filed on your computer. (Like the Dewey system)
If I made a Journaling for Beginners kind of post (or PDF, since I dont think it would fit in 500 characters ) would you be interested What are some topics youd be interested in, or some questions you have (no question is stupid!)
Some ideas I had:
- Picking a journal to buy
- What to do if theres someone youre worried will read it
- Writing instrument(s)
- Some general prompts to use whenever youre stuck

Hello and welcome to my brand new little blog, I am Pops the Passive Voyeur and I am an Aquarist and tropical fish keeper, a grower of indoor bonsai, an amateur photographer and a very occasional and not very good artist amongst other things.
Yes I have a number of varying hobbies, pastimes, whatever you want to call them, I guess my longest standing one is photography, I have been taking photos for a pretty long time but I am still very much an amateur and do it purely for my own enjoyment, nowadays I use mainly digital but now and again I will tinker with analogue / film photography. I also took up art a little while back, Im not particularly prolific and definitely not very good, but hey, when I do it I enjoy it , I work in both traditional media as well as digital. I am also an aquarist and tropical fish keeper, I did this a long time ago when I was quite young and have fairly recently started it up again, and boy have things changed, Im a beginner all over again. At the moment I only have one tank personally, it is a community blackwater nature aquarium. Although I only have the one tank myself (for now) my eldest son Jonathan has a number of tanks in my house. I have also very recently taken up cultivating indoor bonsai trees, this is very much still in its infancy and who knows it may spread to outdoor bonsai eventually.
So this blog could have posts consisting of any of the above, either singly or in multiples, or it could be almost anything else, who knows this may turn into something like a journal or diary, or may just end up with me ranting on about things. Im certainly not altogether sure which direction it is going to go in. Anyway, please enjoy and let me know what you think

Protests continue at LaSalle and Jackson....There's a very loud drum circle grooving away, with car horns providing melody...exciting to be a part of the bazaar of democracy and "The American Spring".
Field recording from the protest:

I don't need groceries in 10 minutes, but I do need a delivery service for emotional healthcare...
It's interesting that people just learning music now have YouTube as a resource. Back in the 70s, all I had were music magazines and I'd go through the musical exercises. Having a video was rare and videotapes were very expensive, sometimes as much as $50. I think it's so great that young people now have free videos to learn from and most make them as well. I wish I could have showcased my abilities then. Also, having a video diary documents parts of your musical life, and it's nice to have participated in it.
It's funny to think people had to wait minutes for a tiny 360x240 video to download. It took a good 10-15 years for that to develop. So 10 or 15 years from now there are going to be developments that will allow people to do amazing things in context with the memory of what is essentially that 360x240 video.
I started a here, I'm currently putting all the together and trying to draw them straight away...
