STILL MISSING. Simba, an indoor 6 yr old orange tabby short-haired male cat with an injured front leg, was last seen Oct 3 near the corner of Auden & Eastview Rd in #Guelph. If you have any info about him please contact Julie via facebook.com/groups/Caugh... or let us know.

September's most listened to albums around the house.

I recorded a new album inspired by a local landmark I often use as a marker on my wanderings (it's exactly 1 km from my home). You can grab it free from this link, I'll eventually have it up on streaming at a later date.

Landing Page A weekly podcast where first-hand witnesses share their encounters with the strange and unexplained, UFOs, Aliens, cryptids and the paranormal.

I (think) I saw a UFO as a kid and I finally got to speak about it at length on the back half of Episode 353 of ufochroniclespodcast.com , which came out yesterday. UC is a fun podcast that often reminds me of old Open Lines Coast to Coast with Art Bell segments.

Went for a midnight run because I was restless and I came across 4 or 5 skunks throughout the neighborhood. The only witnesses to my fitness-es and I'm trying to dodge them..

100 percent.

if it had tracked everything I heard while doing comm. radio with all the different themed shows instead of just what I physically played at home or on my phone but what can you do, It's still a fun dig into your own past.

yeah its kind of cool you can track lifestyle thru something like this, it's unfortunate mine has a bunch of gaps where I guess I forgot about last.fm but still I can similarly point out where I was working and if I were able to choose my own music all day with this. Would love to see the data..

Interesting likely to just me, after using Last.fm to scrobble (track) my listening habits over the past 20 years, the years I was working in community radio, initially with TRP then CJRU (now CJMT) had the least scrobbles (2014-2019). I was mega overstretched and rarely listened to anything alone.

I know there's already a flag for the City Of Guelph but it should be redesigned more accurately to feature a short man driving a massive truck.

An 83 sleep score while camping is unheard of for me.

acquired some new eyeglasses and a much more useful prescription and it's a great feeling to be able to see things crisply again. Makes me wanna go look at things.

What are the odds either of the city council for this side of town use our totally unreliable and somewhat random public transit to get to a time specific event, like an appointment? Do they have any idea how frustrating it is trying to exist without using a car on the other side of the Hanlon?

Dudes who just got out of jail love to tell you they just got out of jail.

couple new first watch reviews on my #letterboxd account. letterboxd.com/michaelknewt...

14 months for an MRI and then another 16 to talk to somebody about that MRI.

A ★★★½ review of Go Tigers! (2001) This is a bit of a weird one mostly because I've been trying to track this down for years. I originally would have rented this sometime in the early to mid 2000's from Suspect Video, on Markham Street...

the review, I think I romanticised this doc more than I should have simply due to having such a hard time trying to find it 20 years later.
letterboxd.com/michaelknewt...

I believe it's never been reprinted because there's some pedo adjacent coaching stuff featured but again, I don't watch football, the locals in this were just mega interesting.

I don't and have never cared about American Football but I rented this doc from Suspect (rip) in the early 2000s and loved it and have been trying to hunt it down for years. Finally bit the bullet and grabbed the one copy on thrift books from a library in Alabama.

walking, not running my running route with a weighted vest so next time I run it properly im going to feel like I'm flying and also it's gorgeous out.

big recommendation for Nicotine+ as a slsk client. nicotine-plus.org

IMO the core of "making" music should be about personal growth and your own understanding of the results. I'm happy to share 20+ years of my work without feeling like I'm owed money or a grant for it. find me on #soulseek -> babygiraffe.

I changed the album cover for this release bc I hated the original. It should be streaming everywhere with the new one BUT if you'd rather download the lossless flacs, you can find it on Soulseek as I share everything I've ever recorded there for free.
