i've kind of lost track of time. i wanted to get some listening done last night, but i napped a few times; now, i feel like i should be tired, but i'm not. i thought my mp3 player was charged, but it isn't - or maybe it was, but it lost charge to the air. it's charging.

i can't shake the feeling that i'm going to fall asleep as soon as i put the phones on, but it's what i need to be doing next. in the meantime, vlogs are uploading.

the information overload is still dramatic. i want to push through and close all these releases, but i can't find the way to do it that makes the most sense. i'm going to have to turn my pc back on tonight, once the temperature comes down a little outside and i can turn the heat off because the air conditioner upstairs turns down. then, the pc will start to throw off heat on it's own. i'm stuck in a strange reality where the hotter it is outside, the higher i have to turn up the heat to fight the a/c. i don't know what he did up there over the winter, but it's pulling air out of here a lot more violently than last year. did he remove a part of the floor? put in a heat pump? i can hear something churning up there, but i don't know exactly what it is. whatever he did wasn't thought through well. to begin with, it was done in absolute contempt for my own desires - he's obviously trying to alter the temperature down here. there was no consultation. the reality is that i have the legal right to demand that he turn the air down, but i'd rather do this by hitting his pocket book. in the end, he's going to have to pay for it through a ridiculous hydro bill. i'm still hoping to ultimately outlast him and nailing him on the hydro actually might drive him out. i mean, if i force him to turn the air down, he's still up there until he keels over; if i fuck him over on the utility bill, he may have to move out before then. i think it's the only real way to resolve this.

but, with the writing, i kind of feel like i'm reaching for a switch in the dark sort of thing. for example: this post, here, on this page, will eventually find itself into the liner notes for inri000. and, you know what? in typing that statement, i think i've finally convinced myself that i have no choice but to wait until i close the period. even ignoring the alter-reality, this can't make sense, otherwise.

my work flow needs to be something like this:

1) republish all the music in the releases from 1996-2000.
2) reorganize all the source files & rebuild the aleph-disc.
3) then reconstruct all the liner notes from the aleph-disc, and put them into the source disk.

the mp3 player is charged. here i go....
