the dtk blog for 09/13 is up...

i have some loose ends locally, and i'll need to log into the other account to update the travel blog, but i'm pretty much done, so i'm going to stop to use the stove, first, to warm the place up a bit. i'll probably take a shower after, too.

it's only about 25 degrees out right now, which is really not warm enough for air conditioning.

unfortunately, noise trade did not work out as a hosting solution, and i never got a clear answer as to why. but, i decided in the end that the site was full of ads and unworkable, anyways.

the third entry in the music journal series, which is the month of september, 2013 and is 134 pages long. i am not going to summarize the story, but it is available on the web over here: musicofjessicamurray.blogspot.com/2013/09/.

this is a compilation of written correspondences that occurred around me over september, 2013. it includes facebook posts, messenger chats and emails with friends and family members, in an attempt to tell the story of how i set my studio back up in windsor after relocating from ottawa. the contents of this download are the dummy track, a word doc file and a pdf file, both written in a more readable, chronological ordering. i've also added the respective files for my other three blogs, for general interest, as well as 82 separate txt documents (essays, notes, scripts and web pages) that are referenced in the journal.

the events documented in this journal occurred in september, 2013 and were compiled into a narrative in several stages over the years 2014-2019. journal completed on july 30, 2019. released and finalized in doc and pdf format on aug 15, 2019. doc0913.

it's looking like i'm going to have to leave late to avoid the rain, and then the point is lost.

i'm also not really feeling like i want to be around cigarettes tonight. it's just not that appealing, right now.

i'd rather finish what i'm doing (and the music file should be posted soon), take a hot shower and get a start on october.

i'll take another quick run through weekend shows some time tomorrow, but i'm pretty sure that we're down to a maybe on sunday afternoon.

so, here's the noise trade smashwords link to the sept, 2013 archive for this blog.

i'm fairly certain that that's done.

next, i'll need to construct the one for the music blog.

the romanticization of labour - call it the protestant work ethic if you'd rather - is a bourgeois position designed to maximize surplus value by warping the minds of workers. it's propaganda, and it's necessary for the system to function; in turn, leftists need to stop buying into it if they have any kind of meaningful revolutionary ambitions.

i've always wondered why politicians make that pilgrimage to auschwitz. is it to push this idea of never forgetting? or is it far more nefarious than that? because the protestant work ethic, the romanticization of labour, has another formulation, namely work will set you free. and, those work camps are merely the idea taken to it's most violent, brutal conclusion.

the orientation of the left should not be to romanticize work. it should be to help construct the conditions that allow us, one day, to walk away from it.

so, i don't want to have wasted this week. my sleeping patterns are screwy right now, and it's partly because it's unpleasantly cold in here. all i want to do is wrap myself up in a nice, warm blanket, which is making me sleepy.

so, i'll tell you what, then.

if i finish publishing for sept, i'll hit the punk show. if not, i'll stay in and finish it.
