I spent several hours making a mixtape (actual cassette) for an old friend containing songs from her youth. I also created a separate MP3 mix of the dance mixes from that same era.
I kind of want to put together bullshit videos, consisting of different clips to tell a story that didn't happen, using a generic AI voice. That seems to be the rage on Facebook these days.
"This woman found a cat frozen to the sidewalk" (video of black cat on street). "She brought it home and warmed it up" (obviously different black cat). "The cat decided...

Just after 11pm central time, I sent a video message to a friend in the eastern time zone (they are an hour ahead, for those who don't know our time zones).

Back in mid October I was told I have asthma (even though I've never had noticeable symptoms) and given a daily inhaler. Within 5 days it fucked up my voice (I sounded like RFK) and I quit using it.

Back in early October I was diagnosed with Diabetes type 2. Not surprising considering how bad my diet was. Since then, I've cut most carbs and red meat from my diet. I've reduced the amount I've been eating too and it's paying off. Most diabetic people I know have been telling me that I don't need such a strict diet and I can cheat occasionally...
