Book fever stun

 24.03.2022

Kinda strange day. Wasn't very tired since yesterday. Feeling calm. Had enough sleep, even though I fell asleep very late. Tried playing Bannerlord a tiny bit last night. Gave a repeatable quest. Had some breakfast. Browsed internet as I ate some chinese-style pork in cornstarch. Very tasty, easy too cook. Went on avito and notices a really nice SG - and it was close to my home! I ended up buying, from a person that I knew earlier, since they're a neighbor. What a time. Combined with the guitar i already bought - a rather massive amount of money.

Yesterday at night I tried tweaking my SQOE's intonation. Ended up shortening the low E to the max. Weird. Action is high too, Strings feel bad, gotta change em. I bought an Epiphone SG Special today. Cause I watched a video about guitar prices rising this morning. Here it is, btw -

Well. It's a little dinged up - mostly just paint that came off. I can't seem to notice it. Feels so great in my hands. It's an Epiphone Standard, but it had a dotted neck and no logo, and no pickup covers, but it does have grover tuners, a large pickguard and 4 knobs.

As soon as I came home one of the elder acolytes called me to assist in our Order's main quest - one of the stages. I went and helped a tiny bit. The poor elder acolyte, they're easily manipulable and irrational. But they do understand the neccesity to move forward, or so I hope. I spoke in less secretive words earlier. You can guess what I'm talking about.

And also, today I tuned up the gain staging. All this time Cakewalk app was made quieter in the windows sound mixer, and also it wasn't buffed by Loudmax properly. Today I tuned it up and had a lovely jam - first I played Iron Man, since it's in E Standard, then played SQOE a bit, then jammed on my old SG. I realised it has rather high tension, and it's not really floppy at all. Strange, so strange. Played in Drop A# - The Prayer of the Unavenged, and some jamming as well. It was really heavy!

You know who's really hotattractive? Anya Taylor-Joy! I've seen her in a couple movies, and whever I see her pic online I simply get tittilated. I just wanted to say this. I'm simply in a mood like that, ha ha.

Also some very special government service that protects junior acolytes came by, a told em a lot of stuff, and they left a note. They said they can help us in one of the rather important parts of our Order's main quest.

Installed an addon to speed up vids past x2. Watching some Shadiversity now. His vids are long, but I love em. Used to watch him a lot more, when I was binging on Warband, playing Prophecy of Pendor and Viking Conquest.

Workout

Overhead press

Quick but nice warmup

3 sets of more than 10 with 50 kgs

Push press

70 - 2 sets of 2

90 - 2*2

That was about it. Close your fist, and keep it tight. That's how your wrist isn't going to hurt. Keep it tight, don't crush the small joints. Don't let the barbell cursh them. Crush the bar instead, ha ha!

Some time later - a break, did another repeatable quest

Squats

8 sets of 15 - BW

Some calf raises - 3 sets

That felt like it was enough. I really enjoyed playing guitar today.

 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 ...
