whoa, bluetooth

-

 So, I just got my first pair of Bluetooth headphones.

I know, I know, it is The Year Of Our Lord 2021 and these shits have been available for actually ever, and just now am I getting my first pair, but keep in mind that I still have a Walkman. A legitimately Sony Walkman that I use to play my Metallica Cassette Tapes, Thank You Very Much. 

(I also know that I am only 23 years old and this is entirely the hipster in me that I keep denying.)

But they came today! To be honest, the only reason I bought them is because they did come with a cord (so, yes, I can use them to listen to my Metallica Cassette Tapes On My Sony Walkman), and... it's actually impossible to find a good pair of over-the-ear headphones without Bluetooth capabilities. I've looked. Believe me, I have looked. The only other pair of over-the-ear headphones are a pair I got with a GE portable cassette player that have the distinct disadvantage of only playing at a very low volume... of course, this becomes a positive when paired with my Sony Discman, Which Only Plays At Its Very Highest Volume. 

I do enjoy them. I am sitting here, at my computer, and my phone is charging in the other room and I am listening to my Tunes and if I don't want to listen to "The Anthem" by Good Charlotte I can skip and then suddenly I'm listening to "Baba O'Riley" by The Who and I can just jam. And if I decide I'm sick of the inner mega-instrumental bits I can skip and then! "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" by Smashing Pumpkins! Shit's amazing! 

This is, I think, one of the best things about never updating my tech is that I do get absolutely enamored with this stuff that everyone else has been using for seven thousand years (the 8th graders, at least the Cool Ones, have over-the-ear Bluetooth headphones, because they're the hipsters of the high school and have rejected AirPods), and man it is so cool and I am so glad to have over-the-ear headphones again.

obligatory new year blog post

-
So, it's 2019. There are a few questions to ask. What did I do last year? I started this blog, and posting regularly. While this isn't like anything very many people read (I average ~20 views a post, hollaaaaaaaa), I do like it, and I think it's a way for people do kind of understand my voice if they're curious on whether I can actually write or not. I mean, this is different from my fiction, but, well, I mention I write in my videos, now you can decide whether I'm kidding myself or not. Speaking of writing, this year's projects were... a novella for class, a first draft, a first draft that I abandoned (i'm sorry i still really like this idea maybe some other time), a decision that I Need To Rewrite The Pet Project Again, a first draft, a revision of what I'm currently calling my best work but I'm looking at another round of revision this coming year, a first draft, a rewrite that taught me yeah I can't do fantasy, and a NaNoWriMo that cons...

the writing year so far

-
 I mean, it's been going well. I've put out two books so far, and the only reason Class B isn't out is because I just haven't gotten around to uploading the final draft to Amazon and everything. It's done. I'm about 14k into the next Aughts Boys book, which I am a little lukewarm about (it's Kevin, and he's like, kind of meh, for me, honestly), and about 10k into the last Serial Killers with Cookies book. Next month I start a rewrite of a Tinon novella, and the month after I start a rewrite of another standalone. It's going well. I think I'll publish all the books I meant to publish this year--the only one I'm iffy on is Kaz at the Approach . Everything else should be finished with plenty of time to spare, which is not like, generally my experience. Usually I have crossover between years.  It's been a good year so far.
