Hiya! A year later, and I'm finally coming back to work on this
website! So, here's another test blog, mostly to see if I can
even manage multiple entries with my lackluster HTML skills. :P
I will say, my foundation seems pretty good. Even coming back a year
later, it feels easy to add new things to this framework. Not that
it's at all an impressive website, but it is surprisingly functional
so far!
So, I'm a drummer and recently I've been going to video game jam
sessions in my area. It's a pretty active scene these days, and I'm
glad it is as a fan of improvisational music and video game music!
I will say though, that my taste in VGM tends to skew niche and I do
wish that I could call tunes from the soundtracks *I* love. With Akira
Toriyama's death this past month, I've been replaying the work of his
closest to my heart: Dragon Quest IX on the DS. I used to play this game
all the time as a kid, and even just hearing this music again has been
very emotional for me. I don't know many people who played this or any
Dragon Quest game, and it's a weird feeling to be so alone in that
rediscovery of something. If you want to listen to the OST, the
Observatory theme "Heaven's Prayer" is a nice track. It's DS hardware
but Koichi Sugiyama does some truly outstanding work with it.

Test blog * 04/16/23
This'll be a quick test blog while I work on my website :0. I just
want to see if this is something I can and would like to keep up
with doing since the site is mostly just a place to host my music
and whatever else I may need to link to. But I also enjoy talking
when no one is listening, and this appeals to that urge, lol.
...So I don't know about you but I've been really getting into Ace
Attorney recently; I used to play Dual Destinies as a wee one and
am going back to play the DS games. Haven't gotten to Ema's case
but I hear it's quite good. I know all of the story beats of the
first game except for that case, so no spoilers, you imaginary
rascal! I've got my eye on you. ;)
