As of right now, Andy Fossett lives in Tokyo and spends most of his time working on GMB and teaching Taido.
🗓️ Here’s what’s up right now:
- 🎧 Listening to: I’ve been listening to this album by Ben Kenney, who was a member of Incubus. It’s a short album and falls somewhere in the “alternative rock” category, but each track has something surprising going on – maybe a strange guitar sound or an unorthodox arrangement… Definitely worth a listen. Nice for putting on your headphones and taking a walk.
- 📖 Reading: There’s nothing new going on here. I’ve reread some Chuck Palahniuk and Margaret Atwood novels I enjoy. Otherwise, I’ve been going to bed earlier instead of reading, which I guess is what I need right now…
- 🎸 Music: Almost exactly 25 years ago, I finally received my Klein Electric. It took over a year to have made, and I bought it using money from my grandmother’s life insurance. It was my dream to own one, and it’s my more precious physical possession. So where do you go for maintenance on something like that? Well, I found a shop not too far from home that seemed well regarded, and it turns out that the owner is actually good friends with the guy who made the guitar in the first place. I’m feeling lucky to know it’s in good hands and can’t wait to get it back in a couple of week.
🧰 Things I’m finding useful:
- ✅ I was looking through old email receipts for some work stuff and discovered that I’ve been using the Things app from Cultured Code for fifteen years now. That’s pretty amazing since I use it to organize my entire life. It’s always on my phone’s homescreen and permanently open on the left side of my computer screen and just constantly, solidly keeping important shit in front of my face.
✈️ Travel:
