At some point while I was out in Portland my timepiece lost an hour. One clock I saw matched my timepiece so I thought it was correct... then a stranger told me I was off by an hour. Thought i was going crazy. It made catching the bus a little complicated.

I went to a show at the Starday Tavern tonight. "Serious Moonlight", a night run by my friend DJ Cache. I caught up with an old friend, and played the wallflower. Was a fun show.
They're doing it again near the end of next month. Will do my best to attend that one as well.
Downtempo, IDM, a bit of old demoscene, a bit of vaporwave. Chill-out music, mostly.
Unfortunately my internet connection dropped a little over halfway through this show. Robot DJ Kumata, aNONradio's mascot DJ, played J-Pop and soundtracks during this period - from roughly 34:48 to 41:32 in the recording.

The new Trimet night bus service - lines 20 and 57, between say 1:30 and 4:30 - is an adventure.
I couldn't be happier, though. I caught the 3:30 AM bus, got home around 5:30, and was asleep by 7. That's the earliest I've ever gotten home from playing music at the arcade.

It's last Wednesday, and that means DJ Megaphysics and I are playing music at Ground Kontrol tonight.
Logical Aggression @ Ground Kontrol Arcade #PDX 2018/09/26 9:00 PM PST until close. It's free play night, so there's a $5 cover.
Techno and electro tonight, similar to my recent aNONradio sets. I believe Megaphysics is going to play in the moody '90s Warp IDM style.
More house and techno, a bit of IDM, a bit of acid. Mostly kind of lo-fi. A bunch of tracks I wanted to hear.

I just finished reading "New York 2140" by Kim Stanley Robinson. It's a well-written book; a good book. I did not enjoy it. I bounced off it pretty hard.
I think what I disliked is that the book seemed to simply stop about once every thirty pages to tell you something interesting about New York. (Or about Economics). It killed the pacing for me.

House and techno this week. Some old Detroit tunes plus a few odd bits and pieces.

I reworked my shelves recently, so here's a photo.
Some day I'll learn how to take a clear photo. Probably the day I pick up a tripod.

I have this feeling that I've forgotten something I did wrong in the recent past.
I'm sure there's a word for that. I wonder what it is.
An hour of relatively low-intensity modern electro. Something to come down from last month's shows.

My best Strikers 1945 score last night was 494,600. Played two decent games four bad ones.
Not my best score, but good enough to make me feel better after playing like garbage last month.

I'm heading into Portland today. Will stop by Powells, maybe buy a pair of shoes. Then on to the arcade.
The 20 and 57 Trimet bus lines are on their new 24-hour schedules. Those are the exact two busses I need to get home, so I'm looking forward to that.
I'll report back with a Strikers 1945 score.

#Pick5Games
"If you had to recommend someone play 5 games to really get a feel for you/your tastes, what five would you pick?"
1. Quake (SP, QW duel on Aerowalk)
2. Quake 3: CPMA
3. Strikers 1945
4. Shadowrun (SNES)
5. Morrowind
Just video games. Off the top of my head.
