  • I got my new red hair and I’m loving it. ;-) ( picture available on request )

    Also went to Busch Gardens this past Saturday. It was alot of fun. Went with my gf, gf’s Mom, and gf’s sister. Seemingly went fine…? Idk if I pass or if they just don’t mind…

    I also saw my endocrin on Monday. We’re waiting on test results. But depending on how that goes I might get an increased dose of E ;-)


  • I use 2 pieces of software.

    One is called “Ultimate Vocal Remover”. Free and available on GitHub. It’s a piece of software that seperates the vocals from the instrumentals. It’s a little bit complicated to setup but once you got it setup you can just drag and drop the original audio in and then it spits out all the different tracks and stuff.

    Then I use another one called “KdenLive”. Also Free download. This one is basically a video editor. And can be used to create the text for lyrics. It can also do animations and such. Admittedly it’s a lot of work if you want to animate the lyrics haha. You basically have to line up the highlighting with each syllable in the word. Doing it without highlighting is a lot easier but also less precise. So pros and cons. ( I’m the meticulous type haha, it’s just time consuming).

    A friend of mine helped research this for me as they too wanted to do karaoke videos. And then they taught me while showing me their screen. We’re considering creating a tutorial video for others but we haven’t got around to it yet.

    ;-)

    Lookup “Impulse Karaoke” on YouTube if you want to see my work. Though currently I only have 2 songs so far. I’m trying to do 1 song per month. I have a list I’m working off of. We’ll see what happens after that.







  • I got my meds like I mentioned in a previous thread. So I’m good in that regard.

    Some serious stuff happened at work that resulted in some legal issues. It wasnt my fault thankfully. But I am involved with the evidence collection process. Go figure.

    And I’ve been playing alot of Final Fantasy 14 recently. Mostly on Sundays.

    Oh yeah and I’m getting my hair dyed this week!

    Overall doing a lot better. So that’s good.


  • My one issue this week is that Im bad and I forgot to check the amount of pills I had. By the time I realized I was running out of Spiro it was too late. I filled the prescription and I’m getting it tomorrow so that’s good. But I missed 2 days worth of doses. 2 pills twice a day.

    Possibly a placebo effect but I do feel weird. I can’t wait to start taking it again normally.

    I am still taking my other pills normally like my Estradiol. And a few other things unrelated to HRT. I’m just trying to hang in there. Heres hoping it’s ready on time and I can get my Spiro tomorrow.



  • IMO, I still think there’s not enough infrastructure to support charging EVs. Don’t get me wrong I’ve seen some. Just… Not a lot. Until charging is as prevalent as gas its just not worth it. Or if you have a house I guess.

    In some areas I hear it’s good. But in my area there’s only 1 set of charging stations at a Wawa that I know of. And that Wawa is an hour drive away. Plus I’m at a rental complex that mows the lawns regularly and having a cable run from my house to the car is not allowed.

    My current gas operated vehicle has about 160000 miles on it. I’m hopeful that my vehicle will last a long time. And then when my vehicle dies, I’ll look at the infrastructure again and see if it’s beneficial for me to switch to an EV. I’m going to continue to wait until it’s beneficial for me to buy a new car.

    We’ll see how it goes.






  • I beat Dot Hack Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine in order back when they were first releasing on the PS2 in the US. And importing my memory card save every time.

    My friend witnessed me defeat the final boss in Quarantine. It was such a long and crazy fight. And the whole thing was just mindblowing.

    Sadly I don’t have any pictures or videos of it. And I traded in my PS2 a long time ago.

    I have been considering revisiting the game but it’s a big game with ALOT of content. I don’t know when I’ll get around to it.

    Good times and Good memories.
