Doctor Who is gonna be jealous.

I’ve been binge watching the two Doctor Who shows with a vengeance. Last night I made the mistake of getting distracted by other shows. Season two of Foundation started a few weeks ago. I know Azimov readers hate it and all, but I am not an Azimov reader and I enjoyed season one. I watched the first episode of season two last night. When I was fishing through the Apple video app looking for it I saw a link for Silo and, well… I had to start that too. Now on top of that, season two of Good Omens comes out today so I have to watch that one too.

Doctor Who is still the TV priority, apart from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which I watch as soon as the new episodes are released, but I am going to have to share TV time with some other shows as well. I also want to get back to Severance and Party Down and Star Trek: Deep Space 9 and The X-Files.

Our television cup runneth over, right? Sheesh!

ADDENDUM: Yup, this is my last reblog. Now the question is, does the film blog die a slow death as the main blog starts getting all the film posts? That seems likely. Thanks for nothing, wordpress.com.

What Should I Do?

Addendum: WordPress.com seems to have changed the reblog editor. Doesn’t this just suck? Next time I’ll put the image first and see how that goes, but if it’s not going to display the image in the reblog snippet, I am not going to cross post anymore. The image is the whole point. Shit.

Blue Sky

Remember when we used to have blue skies in the summer? How about we spend the rest of the season with weather like this? I could handle that. I’ve had enough rain and gloom.

I tried to take this photo using my ebay Nikon with my father’s zoom lens. After I took it, I set my Z5 with the same settings and took a digital version. The differences are image stabilization and auto focus, both of which the digital camera and lens have but the film camera and lens do not have. This looks okay, focus-wise. The film shot? It’s going to be a shaky, messy, waste of a shot.

Oh well.

I did the same thing with this shot of Lily, and the results are going to be the same. Okay on digital, horrid disaster on film. Bank on it.

2023 50/90 Challenge Days 23 & 24/90

Not much to report on the song writing challenge front over the last two days. Day 23 was Wednesday and I didn’t do anything. Day 24 was yesterday, Thursday, and I didn’t get shut out but I also didn’t do much. I wanted to do a car music and track some vocals and maybe get a mix or two in and maybe write some lyrics but instead all I did was add two new song ideas. Just a couple of bass lines and a drum groove. All midi. I’m a little disappointed in myself for two days with very little progress, but the weekend is almost here and I am hoping to get a ton of music in (as well as more photography goofiness). Jen has plans to work on a project this weekend, so I will dedicate myself to a project or two as well. Harry will be paying a visit too so I will dedicate however much time he is here to him. I also want to visit my father on Saturday. It’s his anniversary, and the first since my mother passed. It’s going to be very sad and I don’t know if I am up for it. Mother’s day was rough but I fear this is going to be rougher.

So now we’re up to date on (more than) the current music project.

Nickname

Daily writing prompt

What’s the story behind your nickname?

Let’s start this from the very, very beginning. My father’s name is Robert. Folks call him Bob. When my mother was pregnant for the second time she and my dad decided if they had a boy they would give it the same name as my father. That boy would be Robert, Junior. That boy ended up being me.

So my name is Robert. There are two syllables in the word Robert. To shorten it down to one syllable , thus making it easier to say, people started calling me Rob.

In other words, I don’t really have a nickname. Sorry, daily writing prompt.
