fluffy rambles: Today’s accomplishments

Today’s accomplishments

March 9, 2024 12:57 AM (a month ago)

I managed to actually get a lot of stuff done today, and I’m feeling quite tired, but in a good way.

Assembled three of my acoustic panels for the studio (and then ran out of adhesive, oops)
Assembled my new fire pit ring (still need the brick surrounds and probably some gravel for the bottom)
Set up a photo shoot for album cover art (pending the completion of the acoustic panels and some general tidying up of the studio space)
Got caught up on a week’s worth of dirty dishes (oops)
Made some more tiny tweaks to the album track ordering, and got a couple folks signed up for the listening beta (but I could still use more!)
Glazed my two pots
Also somehow managed to get some piano practice in, too???

My plans for tomorrow are to go to Home Depot and buy more stuff (wood glue and contact cement and short wood screws) so I can build the other three acoustic panels (that I have foam for, anyway), some fire pit gravel, and maybe some round fire pit surround bricks.

Also I ended up ordering more acoustic foam because I have some more places that I’d like to place panels and also I have enough material to build a few more panels anyway, and maybe I’ll make some smaller panels for my office although I’m not sure where they’d go since those walls are full of art. But they could always go on the wall behind the speakers.

I feel like I’m finally justified in really improving my music-making space right now.

A friend also gifted me one of his unused MIDI controller keyboards, which will probably live in my office if it’s lightweight enough, or otherwise it’ll replace the MPK47 and I’ll just finally get around to repairing the Keystation that I used to use in the office and has been sitting in parts on my dining room table for a year or so. The new-to-me keyboard will be arriving tomorrow (originally I was going to pick it up from him in Duvall but, y'know).
