Americans have air conditioning. That's why 110F heat, a regular occurrence here every summer, isn't as devastating like in Paris France. The climate is changing, you froggies need to plan accordingly.

My musical work also draws heavily from my own writing, including poetry from my book Orchestrated Madness, originally published in 1998, as well as a large body of new poetry written over the past several decades. Some pieces are adapted into lyrics, while others remain abstract, serving as emotional or conceptual foundations for the music. In many compositions, I move away from traditional lyrics altogether, using manipulated vocalizations, synthesized voices, whispers, screams, layered harmonies, and experimental sound design to create immersive noise and atmospheric works. My live performances extend beyond music alone, combining projection art, theatrical lighting, fog, bubbles, cosplay, dramatic acting, and multimedia elements to create an immersive performance art experience where music, visual art, and storytelling merge into a single living installation.


Within the last year, I’ve begun using AI as one part of my music-making process for my performance art projects, including the most recent Jupiter’s Thunder album and my new project, XParaMental. I use AI as a creative tool for generating ideas, textures, sounds, and experimental structures, but the work is still shaped by my own vision, voice, editing, and direction.


I continue to edit and arrange the music in Logic Pro, and I still collaborate with other singers, musicians, and producers to refine the sound, mix, and overall production. For me, AI is not replacing the artist or the producer — it is another instrument in the process. The final work comes from my performance art concepts, my vocals, my editing choices, and the world I am building around each project.

President Trump came extremely close to flipping California red and now Cali Democrats are terrified and as usual, resulting to cheating, to prevent California from ever going Red.

Get Justice ACB out of the Supreme Court, Shes a Democrat in Red clothing!

I'm still pretty proud of President Trump, for being the only Republican since Reagan to come extremely close to flipping Cali Red.

You thought Disney buying Fox was bad? The fact that Netflix is now big and rich enough to buy Warner Bros. signals the death of movie theaters. Some of you might see this as a good thing, but this potentially spells the destruction of movies as we know them.

The thing about streaming media is it actually affects your perception of media. Think about why people still collect vinyl records. Yes, you could just stream something on Spotify, but it's not the same experience. You go from, "I'm gonna consciously pick out a record from my shelf and put it on and listen to some music" to "Let's just put on some randomized playlist for background noise."

It's the same thing with movies. It's a lot cheaper and more convenient to stream something than it is to go to the theater, but when you do that, you go from, "I'm gonna plan my day around seeing this movie, and I'm gonna sit there with my popcorn and watch it, and it's gonna be an event" to "Eh, let's just pick something on Netflix to kill a couple hours. We can read tweets at the same time." The convenience trivializes it, makes you less likely to pay attention, and less likely to remember the experience. When the movie ends, instead of reflecting on it and analyzing it, you just say, "Okay, that's over. Onto the next thing."

And this doesn't just affect how you watch a movie, it affects how movies are actually made. Companies like Netflix know you're only half paying attention when you stream a movie, and just putting on movies in the background while you do something else. That's why they dumb down movies on purpose (and that's not a conspiracy theory, there are leaked memos confirming this). They make dialog blunt and obvious, and they make the cinematography lazy, and their movies increasingly look the same because the color grading is optimized for viewing on tiny screens. And as streaming dominates, the dumbing down of our entertainment will only get worse.

Elphaba: Wicked Two
Had a great night at the B&B Theater Ritz 8 while at the premiere of Wicked Forever. I was greeted by a welcoming staff who also took their pictures with me for their supervisor to see, who was quite impressed with the pictures taken. The movie was just as good as the last one I had seen at the Marcus Theater in Lake Ozark. I highly recommend this movie, along with seeing the first one, if you can see a double feature at this time. I had done some additional upgrades to the costume since last year. I look forward to doing more of it in the future, as I have always done with my costumes in the past. For now, this will be my last crossplay for the year. I have much work to do in such a short time, and then I'll rest for a while.

This weekend, I tried my hand at baking with rye flour for the first time.
I usually stick to wheat, spelt, or mixed grain breads, but this time I was determined to bake a pure rye loaf.
For context, rye is a bit special. You can't just use a good yeast and be done with it. Instead, it's a process that requires cultivating a sourdough starter and carefully controlling the dough's resting time; otherwise, the bread won't be digestible.
The conditions were finally right, so I made time for it... and the result is fantastic (unfortunately, I have no pictures). In my opinion, it's the best-tasting bread I've baked so far. The texture and the slightly sour aftertaste are perfect.
Baking bread has truly become a passion of mine 😅
