I am a musician and game developer who focuses energy on creativity, positivity, and community. Life's goal is to make lots of stuff in whatever form that might take.
I have several cats.
Chaos and Recovery (June 6th, 2023)
It's been a whirlwind of a month. With the loss of Lady in late April a lot of May was spent recovering and moving on. I can't say I'm all the way there, not that you ever really are beyond grief, but I feel more functional at least.
My wife always says that the universe tells us when it's time to adopt. With Tito, he was hiding from everyone in his cage at the pet store for almost a week, but he popped right out for her (much to the surprise of the employee there). With Tycho he came to her in a dream before she even met him. Though, in her dream, we picked him up in Canada and smuggled him across the border for some reason.
A friend of ours recently is having to deal with an older relative being put into a retirement home and they discovered his house was a huge hoarder mess, including dozens of cats. They are actively working with the adult feral cats to get them fixed and rehomed, but the kittens were extracted and moved out of that environment.
My wife and I have been helping with socializing the kittens and they've come such a long way. Through that, of course, we saw an opportunity to grow our little family again. They are still too young to separate, but starting July we'll likely have two new kittens running around the house, one of them being the little calico included in the pictures above.
It'll definitely keep us busy.
As far as projects. I have been heavily focused on finishing Let the World Forget Us. I have just one song left to do, but it's getting there. I'm hoping to have the full album complete by this weekend so I can send it off to distro.
We're also in the midst of the community remix project. That has been going really well! That will be wrapped up at the end of the month and sent off to distro early July.
Not much progress on game development, though I do have a new game idea that I want to work on. Need to finish other things up first though.
