I’m not surprised to learn that Benn Jordan also has #ADHD (many of us artists and musicians do). Bless him for shining a light on what’s been causing the treatment shortage for it, and fuck the DEA.

I spent most of the day cutting and trimming a rug to fit my studio better, now that I have speaker stands. And I only burned myself once with the glue gun. Huzzah!

In addition to Mirlo, I intend to get my music up on Faircamp, Funkwhale, Jam Co-op, etc.

But it took more time than I expected to get established on Mirlo, so when I went to the Faircamp site and saw a completely different setup that looks even more complicated, my brain was like NOPE. DRUGS ALL GONE. NOT ENOUGH BRAINS LEFT FOR TASK. :AAAAAA:

But I’ll get there. Eventually. :catPOWER:

It took me nearly all afternoon and ALL of my drug-assisted Executive Function, but I finally have my music up on Mirlo!

Things I’ve forgotten to do today:

1. Eat food
2. Drink water
3. Stand up periodically
4. Laundry
5. Shop for Xmas gifts

And what do I have to show for it?
Fixing a vocal part I’m planning to RE-SING ANYWAY. OMFG

Mixing with #ADHD is hard.

Why is this plug in turned off? Did I mean to turn it off permanently, or just temporarily to listen to something else?

Did I know what I was doing when I set my attack and release? Did I figure it out mathematically based on the length of the drum kick, or the bpm of the song? Or did I just twist the knobs 'til it sounded good? Were my ears fresh when I did that? Are they fresher now?

I was playing back my latest mix and thinking hmm, everything sounds so crisp and clean and...separated. Guess I'm gonna have to throw some more reverb on this to glue it all together!

And then I discovered I had turned off ALL THE REVERBS. 😂 😬 :catPOWER:

Hey it’s #ADHD Awareness Month.
Today I recorded some vocal harmonies I previously forgot I needed to record. I also did some laundry.
I still have to wash and water Frances McDormand. 🌱

I almost forgot it’s ADHD Awareness Month. I was diagnosed in November 2021 after several of my friends posted ADHD memes and I recognized myself in them.

Finally being diagnosed and on meds has been great, overall. It’s not a super power, even tho medication definitely empowers me.

Being on meds doesn’t give me more spoons, but it does mean my spoons are no longer all slotted.

I can tell when the meds have worn off b/c I start making up songs for my cats.

I’m writing some real bangers, such as

“You’re Just a Sweet Lil’ Loaf of Bread”

and

“Do You Have To Sniff Your Brother’s Butt?”

Trying to figure out how I could work Morse code into a new song I've just barely started writing, instead of comping vocals on a song I should've already been done re-producing and mixing by now. :catPOWER: :AAAAAA:

The more I see/read about the Barbie movie, the more I am excited to (eventually) watch the Barbie movie.

But

I keep getting the #Barbie Girl song by Aqua stuck in my head every time I see/read about the Barbie movie.

C’MON BARBIE, LET’S GO DEFEAT THE PATRIARCHY!

(Ah ah ah yeah….)

I know I have been masking most of my life, but I don’t know how exactly, and don’t know what I would be like to *not* mask.

And for years, I attributed many of my #ADHD habits to being half-deaf. :welp:

Especially the perfectionism and not asking people to repeat themselves!

Thanks to (generic) Adderall, I can reanimate this old, tired corpse for a good 5-6 hours AND stave off the Existential Dread that normally keeps me in a state of frozen unproductive jelly.

When it wears off tho…😂😭🫥☠️

It makes me not want to perform anymore. All this bullshit, plus load in onto tiny stages, playing to indifferent crowds, sound engineers who disappear after sound check, having to spend gas money to get to the venue, all to get paid (typically) in drink tickets? No ma’am.

Do you ever think about where the music comes from when you're put on hold with a customer service rep? Of course you don't. You only think about yourself.

Singing takes of this song, and I can't decide if the line should be "Grab a to-go coffee," or "Grab a cup of coffee," (I've been singing both) so ofc on at least one take I get tongue-tangled and sing "Grab a fuckin' coffee" 😂

I can't brain today; I have The Dumb.

Sure my brother has perfect pitch, is really smart and went to college with more than one full scholarship offer and got an aeronautical engineering degree.

But he's also allergic to cats and dogs so on the whole I think I got the better deal.
