whatever perch i had picked and onto the ground.</p> <p>i try not to do this but that night i failed. i even said a bad word!</p> <p>quick observation showed an unharmed screen and relieved big worry.</p> <p>resuming my online activities revealed new worries: an unresponsive trackpad and keyboard.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdjj7PlOLQo">thankfully others have encountered this before and offer solution</a>.</p> <p>thinking experience with software translated to hardware tinkering was foolish. but i started stripping screws and bending covers anyways.</p> <p><img src="/blog/note/40bc06bc/laptop.jpeg" alt="the uncovered underside of a macbook" title="at least the inside is beautiful" /></p> <p>hours spent "fixing" has since brought frustration and disappointment. some at the difficulty of repair though most at the timing of events.</p> <p>this laptop lasted a healthy six years as my primary machine with only an occasional problem.</p> <p>plans for a new laptop have been floating since starting this new year.</p> <p>hopes for the peaceful retirement feel so distant as i write this with an external keyboard.</p>

month i cheered for my home team as the dallas mavericks played against the golden state warriors.</p> <p>either outcome would have been celebrated but i am glad the warriors won. playoff standings were questionable.</p> <p><img src="/blog/note/4f9a4bc5/stadium.jpeg" alt="steph curry dribbling in the fourth quarter" title="hardwork and hustle wins games" /></p> <p>recent interest in the game was

ca where random bands form to perform a song written in five minutes.</p> <p>this is correctly called <a href="https://oaklandside.org/2024/01/19/oakland-instant-band-night-east-bay-community-space/">instant band night</a> because it happens at night.</p> <p>early last year a friend told me about this event and i have gone since. lighthearted chaos has a casual appeal.</p> <h2>getting on stage</h2> <p>my first attendance came with a trumpet and so much uncertainty. but into the hat my name went and on stage i go.</p> <p>details of whatever song we played escape me. memories of preparing beforehand do not. uncertainty was met with such a hectic confusion.</p> <p>some chords were decided and a style chosen then came time to play.</p> <p>rushed minutes passed with sound structured as song. kind applauses followed.</p> <h2>audience delight</h2> <p>folks in the crowd are incredible people. meeting others between sets brings joy. meeting these same others between months brings more.</p> <p>nobody holds expection for polish and nobody casts judgement for the unpolished.</p> <p>performances are still incredible regardless.</p> <h2>exploring instruments</h2> <p>playing before others brings nerves but comfort is found in this group.</p> <p>i had been a bedroom guitarist since starting to play but debuted here. that performance went alright and more have followed.</p> <p>last instant band night i shared an entry in the vocal hat. neither of us had sung in public so exchanged worries with support.</p> <p>spoken word rambles of the mysteries in space took place over a sci-fi soundscape.</p> <p>the atmosphere here was incredible and i'm excited for the next show.</p> <p><img src="/blog/note/610c7ebb/poster.jpeg" alt="a homemade gig poster of a cow in space" title="what a wild universe we find ourselves in" /></p>
