so, for this blog, i should be:

1) focusing on the best of 2019.
2) maybe listening to some stuff from 2013. where did those posts go, anyways?
3) rebuilding late 2013 and early 2014.

k.

so, my machine has been very, very unstable over the last two weeks or so, which i'm quite certain is a consequence of a cyberattack by the american government, with an unknown level of collusion with canadian law enforcement. i believe that they think i'm working for a foreign government. because they're stupid, basically.

the idea is ridiculous...but cops are what they are, and they're not usually rhodes scholars. *shrug*.

i don't know if i've resolved anything or not in any meaningful way, but i'm going to try to get back to work now, and i need to kind of recap where i'm at, here, before i do, so i know where i'm going.

- i got back from toronto on the 11th and needed to sleep it off and clean for a bit. i was sick with something i'd picked up on the 6th or 7th..
- show reviews were done by the 16th
- the liner note releases for november, 2013 were completed over dec 15-26th.
- near the end of the year, i started sorting through a best of for 2019. this has only just begun.
- i started the master document for december over the last few days of the year, and it was done by the 30th.
- i started with the show lookahead for january on the 3rd. i wanted to multitask listening with rebuilding, but the machine kept crashing (starting on the morning of the 6th), so i did most of this on the chromebook.
- i did manage to post most of the month of december, 2013 between the 30th and the 6th. i need to get back to that.
- i have now cleared the month out and do not plan to attend any shows. i do not plan to attend any shows in february, either. so, i should be able to get back to the best of for a few weeks, at least.
