You want to hear something
weird? I started listening to these bossa nova jazz channels on
YouTube. They just stay video of a hot cup of coffee usually with
jazz at the bossa nova beat and it's really soothing. I find myself
listening to the channel specifically on Saturday and Sunday mornings
now and sometimes during the week while I'm working on the computer
with my scanning project. What I think is really interesting is that
it really helps having something to substitute when one is doing a
news fast or a Covid fast. I'm not doing a complete fast but I'm sure
attending to a lot less “Covid/financial/political news” then I
have been before. Still quite addicted to my favorite afternoon show
Marketplace which sometimes
goes over to the show just following that A T C I
don't watch myself closely I found myself rotating back into the new
shows. And I must confess I still listen to the blocking news from 5
to 6 PM. I do notice though even with the Marketplace I
start getting a little anxious. I can't believe I'm so easily
influenced.
The
coffee channel not only plays the music but if you become a member of
any specific coffee group then there is an accompanying chat column
where people can leave comments. This seemed to be a laid-back group
I have not detected a lot of meanness are inappropriate comments.
Management suggests that the site is monitored closely but I kind of
don't think so and if it is its volunteer you know how that goes?
However, it's a nice place to hang out. It would be one of those
channels that be nice to listen to After Dark especially if you're
with somebody you want to be around and be cool at the same time.
Check it out, if you looking for some anxiety free listening time…
You'll be glad you did.
Lockdown
continues for me anyway. Assist, Inc. and my buddy Dave who runs the
group on Tuesday mornings kind of indicated we would be doing an
online “group” today but when I contacted them a little after 8
AM he indicated that he had not been able to get around to get all
the information he needed for the group meeting. He indicated also
that there weren't that many folks to consider anyway. May have
something to do with Covid and all its ramifications. So what little
work I did do today was scanning images into/onto the hard drive.
Last week, I actually purchased A See D C which is a really good
photo image manager at least I believe that it is. The software is
when the first pieces of software I downloaded and I got onto the
Internet for the first time. The software was excellent. I paid $34
for it the other day (stimulus money). I don't know if it's me or
what but I just can't seem to work at the way that I used to. It's
real fancy dancy. Let me do the basic things I need to do. So, I'm
using it along with the other pieces of software that parts no longer
work so between all of the different software's I have for image
management and getting my project fairly covered. Still I have lots
of work to do which is good because I don't think this lockdown is
going anywhere soon…
