Yet another person accosted me in the lobby to say they really liked my performance yesterday. Cool!
I drove across the bay to Milpitas and did some work at the warehouse. David Bennett and I strapped a couple of big artifacts to pallets. That was about it, pretty boring. Came back early to hit the monthly ice cream social, but very few people turned up, so it wasn’t real social this time. Maybe a bigger deal in the summer when they have it outdoors.
Followed up a tech call but the guy isn’t available today so we made a date for tomorrow.
Sat down at my desk machine for the first time in weeks and did some fun stuff. First, I need some kind of video to be playing while I sing Annie’s Song. This is the gushiest, most sentimental love song evahhh. But it has a series of images,
You fill in my senses like a night in the forest,
Like spring in the mountains,
Like a walk in the rain,
Like a storm in the desert,
Like a sleepy blue ocean
and some gushy stuff about come let me love you, let me always be with you etc. So I decided I would make my own video by stringing together really sentimental still pictures. Where to get pictures? Why generate them with an AI of course! I prefer Midjourney for images (midjourney.com) so I spent an hour giving it prompts asking for images “in the style of” various famous painters, and I got some good ones. I won’t show them all, but here’s the image for Like spring in the mountains:
Is that sentimental or what? This was so fun. For the finale, You fill up my senses, come love me agaiiiiiiiiiiiin, I have a time-lapse of a beautiful red rose bud opening. I was just chuckling all the way down to dinner.
