We have heat and hot water

and all is well, save for the brown occasionally coming out of the faucets (thanks old pipes jostled during the grand install) though slightly less so today than yesterday; bit by bit, hopefully – if it doesn't resolve, will drain the new tank and refill. If that doesn't work, another call is in order. Iron, yum.

Still digging the Scarlett 2i2 – and I just got an excuse to play with it some more over the next week. Hopefully doing so will help me figure a way to make it record in both channels for solo stuff that doesn't involve an XLR split but we'll see. For now, holding firm that I probably should have purchased this before any of my other efforts but, like I said yesterday, live and learn.

Winter storm watch starts tomorrow at 1900: will unearth storm drains from snow after lunch before start of tomorrow’s apparent rain onslaught; the day awaits.

hot water looping ETERNALS

Back to multiple postings per day because to hell with it: more permission for myself to share halfbaked notions and thought excursions and, besides, if I'm going to talk to myself, I'm going to do it somewhere I enjoy doing so.

Fascinating to me that all of my current work involves being stuck in loops: probably indicative of everything I'm thinking and feeling and what have you; these are the loops that I am looping.

Finished THE ETERNALS last night and it's the most "just there" beautiful-to-behold superhero flick I can think of. Neither bad nor particularly good, just there: I feel no different having seen it, neither glad or sad that I did – though I am distressed that they managed to make something born of Jack Kirby’s brain so rote and boring (that said, I will admit to never being as into THE ETERNALS as I am THE NEW GODS - while I’m still wanting to see what Ava Duvernay would have done with it, I say unleash the Wachowskis on that: their SPEED RACER is still a favorite – proof positive that they could capture the madness of Kirby’s imagination as well as anybody) – though did it remind me why BODYGUARD convinced me that Richard Madden would be an excellent Bond.

Hot water (and a FocusRite Scarlett2i2) allegedly inbound; the day awaits.
