Luckily saw a post about the Twitch AI training thing, which I turned off in settings. (Which we can only hope they are obeying.) Since I just caught it, I guess they will be training some AI with me using a glockenspiel to write a song about chicken racing so...the joke's on them?

Well, the interface seems pretty great, but it made it clear that my usb hub sucks, so now I need a new hub, or a longer cable to run through the wall to the computer tower. (Which I put in another room so the fan won't ruin my takes.)

The package in question is my new audio interface which I am desperately hoping will be mystical and magical and make all my annoyances disappear.

Looking in my spam folder in case the confirmation email from the petition to send the US ambassador packing is there and I see another invitation to join the illuminati! It's nice to feel wanted I guess.

I am going to sing songs about friends (and the concept of friendship) over on youtube right about now. www.youtube.com/live/Bn-jiZ4... (Thumbnail shot from behind of m sitting cross-legged in a park and me playing my guitar. In leopard print leggings as is my MO)

Waiting for a package to be delivered today, so I can expect the squirrels to do what they always do when I'm listening for a delivery person. BUILD SIEGE WEAPONRY!!!

I have registered for the Cape To Cabot run but I almost changed my mind because there were no less than 4 upsell options in the process. (Plus a donation option.) I am excited about the run, but the sign up form felt a bit skeezy and makes me a little less pumped.

We've got a normal schedule this week! The Warble is at it's regular time. Three morning TikToks. #music

Air Guitar and Camo entered the dictionary in the year of my birth. If you've stopped next to me at a red light you've probably witnessed me playing air guitar while wearing camo. (Apart from that, I couldn't really find 3 more words in the 1980 list.)

I just checked the weather for the rest of the island, since my plan was to drive west until we found a spot where it's not raining. The forecast for the entire island is rain all week end. The entire island. I even checked the Burin and Burgeo.

Steam just suggested I buy Sekiro because I play games tagged: Violent, Rhythm, Great Soundtrack, and Third Person. Yes, I do like all those things, though apart from the Yakuza minigames, Sekiro is the only rhythm game I play. Anyway, advancing the plot on Yakuza 5 over on twitch right now.

Something I find myself saying to my husband (an inveterate player of souls-likes) with some frequency is: _What_ are you wearing on your head?

Trying out a later Youtube stream today. Singing songs that mention morning, noon, night, or all three. youtube.com/live/YLMcx0J... (thumbnail: still of trees and sky going by from a moving car at a dusky time of day)

"The Odyssey features his usual combination of grandiosity and superficiality." I have struggled to verbalize what it is about Christopher Nolan's films that rub me the wrong way. Thank you Emily Wilson. This is also what I dislike about that Take me to Church song. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

I love weightlifting fans. They just wanna see everyone do well.

Truncated and discombobulated week! Nothing on Monday and Tuesday, and The Warble will start 2 hours later. TikToks starting earlier on Thursday and Friday mornings. The Yakuza stream is the only Twitch stream this week, but I may try to sneak some guitar practice back in. #music

@cbcradiocanada.bsky.social wtf?! The intro for the Commonwealth Games is AI slop! Compare that with every other intro you ever had for any event in your history. It looks terrible!

I like figure skating and breaking and freestyle jump rope, so why am I not particularly interested in gymnastics? This has always confused me.

In today's local news, a swarm of bees is blocking the entrance to the library. vocm.com/2026/07/24/3... (Thumbnail: The main entrance to the AC Hunter library. A large brown brick building.)

I finished it. There is no pay off. I spent 400 000 yen training chickens that I could have spent impressing girls instead.

I am going to finish the chicken racing minigame in Yakuza 5 today. And then I'll be able to finish the song. Minigames in pursuit of art! twitch.tv/kylatilley

On today's writing stream I shall attempt (once again) to almost finish my song about chicken racing. On tomorrow's Yakuza stream I shall attempt (once again) to complete the chicken racing mini game so I can finish writing the song. Starting in about half and hour. twitch.tv/kylatilley

Wtf Newfoundland. Why did I agree to come back here?

Songs involving Royal Titles on the Warble. A couple night time Tik Toks instead of mornings, and we'll finish the chicken racing on Yakuza 5 on Thursday so hopefully we'll almost finish writing the chicken racing song on the Wednesday Song Wrangle. I am a serious artist. #music

Am I to understand from posts made here today that the English soccer team plays Wonderwall to express triumph? Is it their goal song?

TikToks on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings. Monday Morning sing song starts at the usual time but will end an hour early this week. Songs about Kissing on the Warble. #music

Our former PM is really living his best life right now isn't he. www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

We've had two solid Saturday movie nights in a row here. Last week we watched The Novice by writer/director Lauren Hadaway and tonight we watched Lone Star by writer/director John Sayles. The former an engrossing story about the desire for mastery, the later a masterful bit of storytelling.

Playing Yakuza 5 on the stream now. Since I'm writing a song about the chicken racing minigame, that will be our focus. Serious chicken racing business transpiring at twitch.tv/kylatilley right now.

Despite doing songs by both of them, it occurred to me that I don't really know the difference between Jimmie Rodgers and Roger Miller, so I decided to read more about them and discovered there are two Jimmie Rodgers one who died the year the other was born, so now I'm even more confused.

On today's songwriting stream I am going to write a song about chicken racing. I am going to compose it for the glockenspiel, cuz apparently it's glockenspiel week on the Kyla Tilley show. I am a serious artist. twitch.tv/kylatilley #music
