I think I'm pretty bad at titling things, so I'm working on it.

so when I can't think of anything that works within a minute, I usually go for either something vague or just make up a nonsense word. if you make up a word, then it's fairly safe from criticism.. from myself mostly, which is what I want to accomplish. my inner critic voice is a mean piece of shit sometimes, probably bc it's lonely. I'm pretty sure it's my brother and Matt reading these, and they're nice people who aren't mean. (i'm not lonely, just portions of my psyche are)

what I've done here is just ok because it looks like a made up word but it isn't really from whole cloth.. it's retrograde "I love Moog". Yes, my brilliant Enigma machine is reverse letters with arbitrary spacing and capitalization. Elizebeth Smith Friedman would be proud. (sic on the first name)

I started with a soft mini moog and played around on it until I made some good ground in understanding how to use it better. It's such an elegant and beautiful sounding thing. I may just drop some coin on a real one someday (haha, right, no job guy).. ok not a real one bc I like saving custom settings and a fully featured software moog, though kind of expensive, way less so than the hardware thing, which breaks if you drop it or spill coffee all over it.

ok, i'm going to listen to Eno, et al. and read Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett now.
