for over a week or so, it's essentially felt like i am stuck
at a layover at an airport. perhaps i show up here sometimes
and write rambles of my usual grade of coherency -- whatever
that is -- but i mostly feel incredibly dysfunctional right
now, and this is screwing my life up, financially esp. and i
really can't tell you what would fix it. a large check for
mercy. punching taylor swift in the fucking cooter.
something. i need something. ugh

that i've tried just a shoe on it, a day or two ago, and
strange. the muscle weakness. but just walking like boot
despite... but okay to get up and pee.

so now i've tried it a bit more solidly, went downstairs,
made some tea, upstairs. and it's going alright. that,
generally, there was a mild setback a few weeks in (dodging
some poorly-controlled child on a scooter) and then i've
been relying on my own internal gauge with a good lump of
addition for caution since i don't want to do it in again.
and so far, alright

i wanted to share the very strange sensation i had just now,
though. it reminded me of how, every time i've gotten sleep
paralysis, i've kind of panicked and fought my way awake
almost immediately. except i've moving my foot, and it's
like, this continuing feeling of fighting this paralysis.
partly the muscle weakness, absolutely

but then i find myself going haaaugghh aloud as i fight
through it in the kitchen, and it felt so strange to push
through that bit just there

and after a think: i was entirely reacting like i was going
to receive pain for doing this, but there was none, and i'm
pushing through this large glacier shelf of expected pain
and this triggers, actually, aphasia, like going up stairs
and you think there's another, but there isn't, and your
foot comes down on air, and it feels weird. except i was
moving with muscle atrophy through an expected stair of
pain, and there wasn't any, and it felt weird. especially as
i realized i very much preemptively acted as if i was in
pain as i pushed through it

also some very interesting rhythmic tingling as i was first
using it again. i could make a sound out of it. probably
correlates to some sort of brainwave

i can't wait to take a shower again. i haven't properly
bathed in weeks. taking a bath is just such a freaking
production. i've kept waiting for something to go direly
wrong, and... well, it's kind of surprising. what was i
doing wasting so much time showering that regularly? not
joking. change your clothes -- particularly socks,
underwear, shirt -- regularly. wash your face off. wash your
bedsheets. occasionally soak some water over your hair.
deoderant. anti-fungal for feet. that feet, my feet are
terrible; that's arguably the worst of it. but still... they
are merely smelly and unappealing, not uncomfortable or
functionally compromised in any way. but overall. it's
shocking how little it seems to have mattered... oh, it
could have been six weeks at this point. i think the girl at
the liquor store actually likes how i smell. i'm still
utterly looking forward to a shower; it will be
amazing and mmm perhaps tomorrow i can risk the foot
for five minutes

randomly -- right; i never wrote this up

that raymond scott... well, from wikipedia

Some of Raymond Scott's projects were less complex but
still ambitious. During the 1950s and 1960s, he developed
and patented electronic telephone ringers, alarms, chimes,
and sirens, vending machines, and ashtrays with accompanying
electronic music scores, an electronic musical baby rattle,
and an adult toy that produced varying sounds dependeding on
how two people touched each another. He believed these
devices would "electronically update the many sounds around
us – the functional sounds."


i'd been admitted to the ER for my foot and now nothing to
do for two hours, but sit on some bed that costs as much as
a car and... wow, all the hospital machines have better
noises now

that i remember hospital machines, pulse oximeter et al,
being, like only a hair above PC speaker in terms of sound
design. but sometime in the last few years that changed, and
now this is... lovely. like, eno-grade lovely. and i was
thinking that this was exactly what raymond scott was trying
to do with, like... musical ashtrays. that we live in a
cocoon of sound and let's introduce some design here

if i'd written it sooner, i could remember them all, darn
it. but the only one i have clearly is a ...BoopBoop... and
it's a squarewave, PWM, and the ... ... on either end is the
pulsewidth moving through the tempo of the BoopBoop in a
very pleasing proportion. and it's a lush squarewave too,
they've done some organ harmonics etc

and whoever did that deserves a medal because that was so
much more lovely to be stuck with for three hours than...
how it was before

the PWM from the opening of super mario 2. but drop an
octave and/or swap some of the high-end overtones for warm
lo-mid
