Was sincerely congratulated by one of my undergraduate colleagues for knowing who Jeff Buckley is and had to stop myself from explaining the whole concept of being alive in the 90s so if you need me I'll just be over here turning into a pile of dust and pogs

Here's one for everyone I have ever yelled at about why "idk, Mozart?" is not a good way to build a music listening study!
Excited to share my latest paper with Martin Clayton and @tuomaseerola.bsky.social on cross-cultural differences in rhythm pattern perception, focusing on Hindustani (North Indian) musical rhythms.

All time great wedding reception interaction.
This was the wedding at which I twinged my back during the Mull River Shuffle. A blessed night!

The answer, of course, is all of them.
A drunk lady at a Dartmouth wedding reception asked my wife “How many lifetimes have you two been soulmates?” And I think about that sometimes.

And as soon as I leave the house, it will crumble because there is atmosphere today.

That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually.
The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

In terms of process, I enjoy writing but revising????? Oh, that’s my real kink. A second or third draft???? A fourth???? Making tweaks on my desktop AND my phone???? *moans* I’m a WHORE for revision.
