March 24 and 25, wed and thurs - a couple of funny jingles

 Rare word of the day:

conflate /kənˈfleɪt/
verb: conflate; 3rd person present: conflates; past tense: conflated; past participle: conflated; gerund or present participle: conflating
 - to combine (two or more sets of information, texts, ideas, etc.) into one. "the urban crisis conflates a number of different economic, political, and social issues"

Nice day. Weird. Unusual, in some way. Had so many dreams. I dreamt of finding a Rickenbacker bass on the street and bringing it into my house. It was dusty. Many other dreams that were sort of a continuation of the dreams I've been having lately. Me doing some kind of a quest while something unfolds around me, some people that are either friends or betrayers interacting with me, me, plotting to do something to someone rather faceless... Nice stuff. I bet it'd make much more sense if I could actually remember anything.

Overhead press

Warmup

90*5

100*5

100*2+3 - had to fix my headphones

100*5

A couple of reps pushpressing 70 kgs.

Bodyweight squats

10 - 15 - 20

Floor supported ring pullups

10 - 20 - 21 - felt hard

Pushups

30 - 31 shifting the weight between hands - 30

And that's about it. Today I wish to recover my "more normal" sleep schedule. Because when it's broken like that I can't do anything productive. No music, no videos. Maybe I'll reset it tomorrow. I have something to do in the evening, but nothing during the day. Maybe I'll move my training session to be much earlier.

Nice day. Much nicer than yesterday so far. Had all my plans cancelled. Just working out lightly.

Floor supported ring pullups

5 sets of 10

Curls

6+6 dumbbells for 30

16 kg dumbbell - 30 each, kinda strict with the right, left - 17+13 sloppy - somehow dropped the plates from one of the sides, because I have 2.5 kg olympic plates instead of small dumbbell plates on the sides.

31 kg dumbbell - 17+3 right, 14+6 left - some cheating.

Some dumbbell flys (not flies).

Played with the BBC Orchestra today. Made a nice couple of jingles. Somewhat nice, I guess. I made one for my phome timer, so it'd feel more epic.

And another tense war-like jingle, basically with the same instruments, because the addon is a bit buggy when you try to add it into a file.

And I also tried to jam to an audio from a cymbal showcase, it was fun. I mostly practiced repeating improvised parts.

Also, just for memory - I decided to label all post with music with the "music" tag, the least confusing one.

And that's about it for now. Been enjoying more and more of AI Dungeon. Also, I finally bought and downloaded The Outer Worlds (a.k.a. New Vegas 2, ha ha). Maybe I'll play it today.

Random picture of the day - well, not too random, (because nothing is random), but pretty cool in my humblest of opinions -

A Fire Chicken / some other bird that I generated on Artbreeder dot io.

October 08-09, Sunday and Monday - Bench, PP, small PR, nice Olympic style Squat

 08.10.2023 Great day, feeling great. Woke up earlier than normal, worked more that usual. Feeling extra energy. The night was cold. I kept seeing dreams about (spoiler) The Emperor from BG3, hehehe 😉 Cause I watched one of his cutscenes, even though I ain't been playing yesterday. Yesterday, I was drained. I was drained on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at night, to a varying degree. Today I feel much more fresh than I have been in a long time. Like, a part of my brain is extra creative. Also, I have been eating rather little - a couple eggs swallowed hastily, a few bananas, a few glasses of milk. Two mokas and one small conventional brew. I'm thinking of doing bench today, and PP + Squat tomorrow. Reasonable? Yes, on the surface it is reasonable. Light-medium-light bench, sets of 5, around 120. 4 sets of 5, maximum velocity, no pauses whatsoever. When you've got the same muscle strength composition as me it sort of feels easier to bench with a pause, and bumpi...

 10.04.2023 Nice day. Not too bad. Sleep - 4/10, nutrition - 6/10. Ran out of coffee, used some of the robusta from the stash. Now having one, fighting the desire to lie down, cause if I lie down I'm just not gonna be able to sleep. Jammed. I figured back in the day I made a lot of these micro-songs that are guitar and bass and midi drums. So, that's one of the things that fuels creativity. You have to save them and listen to them. Then you get something. My old headphones are buzzing a lot. Might be time to buy new ones soon. *** Today's workout is 4 sets of 5 with 77,5 percent. A sixth session in the program which I've been using in defferent variations for everything. So, 77,5% of 150 would be 116. But I'm not perfectly sure if I can do that well in my current shape. So, I might want to get up to 115 starting from a lighter weight. Maybe from 110. Now that I think about it, it's actually quite doable and it's very late. I don't want to hurry. And I do...

 14.09.2022 DL plan - 175 for 5, 200 for 5, 210 - 5*5, 200*1 clean single, maybe even overhand. Nice day. Slept very little. Ate a lot before I went to bed, so I had no appetite when I woke up. Tried to call and message some of my clients. Coordination issues. Sometimes people just can't pick a proper time. Understandable. I often think about how humanity evolved to proritise quick decisions over slow, but 100% sure ones. Better be two times faster and 80% sure than two times slower and 99% sure, amirite? He he. Having my second coffee. Or third? Not sure. Can't remember. Today I'm trying to overstuff the moka pot. The taste is awesome, but the brewing process feels dubious. Played guitar a bit. Practicing licks, playing quickly, playing up the neck. I don't gotta play, I gotta write and record lyrics and vocals. I already made a somewhat decent verse. And I have a rough idea for the chorus. I can't believe how much slower my process has become. What is it? Playing ...
