Sweet Sensuality

For Voltage-Vixen's Summer of Smut Writing Challenge: Sharing S'mores

Pairing: Gavin x Hazel

Genre: smut 18+

Tags: food play, oral (male receiving), vaginal sex, unprotected sex (they're married).

“Microwaving S’mores? That’s a thing?" Gavin gave his wife a skeptical look. The way he knew how to make s’mores involved sticks and a campfire. Hazel just beamed at him, while holding the bag of marshmallows.

“It is when you don’t have access to actual fire, although you don’t get that crispy outside for the marshmallow,” her voice trailed off a little, “but they’re still good and messy!”

Gavin cocked an eyebrow at her, he was still not convinced.

The s’mores supplies were laid out on the kitchen counter: graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate bars and two paper plates. Gavin watched as Hazel put the first set of graham crackers on one paper plate. She then grabbed the chocolate bar and broke it into four pieces, laying them on top of the graham crackers. Next came the marshmallows, two a piece on each set of crackers. Gavin moved out of the way of the microwave as she reached for the handle. In they went and in twenty seconds, they were done. She put the second set of crackers on top and pressed down, causing the marshmallows and chocolate to ooze out the sides. She held out the plate to Gavin, and he went to take one off the plate but Hazel stopped him.

“I suggest you take the plate, these are very messy. I’ll get you a wet paper towel as well~”

He took her advice, which was good that he did, because when he bit into the s’more, it oozed melted chocolate onto the plate. Marshmallow that was stuck to the plate, stretched in sticky webs, causing it to stay on Gavin’s fingers. His wife handed him the wet paper towel.

“That was a good idea,” he said as he wiped his fingers clean of the sticky treat.

“Well, what do you think of microwaveable s’mores?”

“Hmm, not bad, but it’s not the same.”

She smiled at him as she made her set of s’mores. As she was enjoying her treats, the melted marshmallow got onto her fingers. Before she could reach for the wet paper towel, Gavin grabbed her hand and licked the two sticky digits clean. She blushed a beet red.

“This way is good too~,” he said with a sly grin. She cackled at his cheesy suave attitude. Hazel then took a little bit of the melted chocolate and dabbed it on his nose. He blinked in confusion and was then yanked forward by his wife so she could kiss him on the nose and lick the chocolate off. This gave him a rather naughty idea that he would definitely try out in the very near future.

One Week Later

Now having mastered microwavable s’mores, Gavin wanted to do something more with the ooey gooey treat. The marshmallows proved to be way too messy for his plan so he stuck with just the chocolate and graham crackers.

“Honey, what’s taking you so long,” a whine came from the bedroom.

“Just a little longer…,” he called back, lightly chuckling at her impatience. He arranged the treats on a paper plate and then headed to the bedroom. Hazel was perched towards the foot of the bed, wearing nothing but a pair of bullet patterned panties (courtesy of her husband). She bounced a little when he appeared at the doorway, causing him to stop mid-step.

“Wait, do that again.”

“What? This?”

She bounced again, her boobs bouncing up and down along with her body.

“Yup, thank you~”

Hazel snorted.

“Honey, you’re such a dork…”

“Yes, but I come bearing treats,” he said as he presented the plate to his wife. She looked at it in a confused manner.

“I think you forgot something…”

“No, I have ulterior motives,” he gave a sly grin to his bewildered wife. She took one and bit into it; chocolate oozed out the sides and onto her chest.

“Ah, Honey, did you bring any paper towels?”

“Nope,” he answered as he pounced on her, hungrily lapping up the chocolate. It finally clicked in Hazel’s head what her husband was up to. She bit into the treat again, purposely letting the chocolate fall, this time a little further down to her stomach. At that point, Gavin had set the plate down on the dresser in order to pin Hazel down on the bed. He licked at the chocolate on her stomach, causing her to laugh and thrash about.

“W-wait… what… about you?”

Gavin looked up to meet her gaze.

“What do you mean?”

She sat up and pointed to the abandoned plate of treats.

“Gimme,” she said while childishly grabbing for it. He snorted and got the plate. She placed it on the nightstand before yanking her husband on the bed by his lounge pants. Hazel wriggled out from beneath him and made him flip onto his back. She went for another treat, but instead of feeding it to Gavin, she smooshed it, causing the chocolate to drip all over his chest.

“Think you can one up me on the food play,” she said while taking another bite of the treat. Her husband, momentarily caught off guard, regained his composure and snatched his wife’s wrist, pulling her toward him.

“Wait,” she told him, earning her a frustrated growl from her husband. She straddled him and bent down to lap up the chocolate. As she did so, she rolled her hips over his now present erection. He moaned at both sensations, goosebumps forming as her teeth lightly grazed his nipples. She trailed her tongue over all the spots where the chocolate had landed, stopping just above his waist band. She left the comfort of his groin area (much to Gavin’s dismay) and grabbed another treat, while yanking her panties off. Hazel repositioned herself back onto her husband but this time on his legs. She tugged his lounge pants down, letting his length spring forth. Lightly smooshing the treat, she let the chocolate drip onto his length. Gavin’s breath hitched in his dry throat as Hazel did feather light licks along his length.

‘Oh boy, I hope I’m doing this right…’ she nervously thought. She let a little bit more chocolate dribble onto the head before taking him into her mouth. The saltiness of the skin mixed with the sweet taste of the chocolate made for an interesting combination. She didn't go too deep for fear of the gag reflex; not wanting to ruin this new technique. Gavin desperately grabbed for the sheets as she swirled her tongue around him; he wasn’t quite ready for just how good that felt.

‘Hm, let me try the head bob method,’ she mentally psyched herself up; trying to remember all the pointers that Willow and Kiki had told her. As soon as she started to bob her head up and down, a guttural moan came from Gavin, startling her. She then hummed a little; quite proud of herself of how unraveled her husband was.

He twitched a little, signaling her to do one last swirl of her tongue before releasing him. An almost cry of anguish came from her husband. She sank down on his length easily and began rolling her hips as he bucked into her. With a choked cry, he found his release pretty quickly with Hazel following soon after.

Coming down from her high, she collapsed onto Gavin’s chest; his strong arms encircling her. His breathing was still heavy as he planted a kiss atop her head.

“Geez, Love, you keep surprising me with these different tactics you’re using. Fess up, who’s teaching you this? Please don’t say Minor…”

Hazel exploded into laughter.

“Oh no, no, not Minor. Poor guy got his fair share of TMI when Willow and Kiki were giving me pointers. I don’t think he'll look at bananas the same way again.”

Gavin stared blankly while taking all that in. He put his hands to his face, covering his second-hand embarrassment for his friend.

“Oh man, poor Minor…,” he chuckled. He propped himself up on his elbows to face his lovely wife.

“So what else have these two little pervs been teaching my not-so-innocent wife?”

Hazel giggled and put a finger to her lips.

“That, my love, is a secret~”

~~~~~~~~~

Okay, so this was my first time writing smut with a BJ involved... Nervous as hell in case y'all didn't notice in the writing. I hoped I made it believable~ 😅

Koi to Producer 7 | HGPC 3 | V-CRX Panel for Ex-Arm | BnHA OVA | God of High School 3

(re: V-CRX notes) I jotted these down at 6 am, local time, so if they’re not particularly coherent, then I blame my sleep-deprived self (...well, at least it wasn’t as bad as the person who said they got up at 5 am - now that’s a bona fide Saito Soma stan!). Instead of leaving the formatting until the last minute, I added in dot points while watching and so the formatting looks different (because the version of Word I have on the computer I’m using now does autoformatting). Some of the content from the panel reappears in this Anime News Network article.

(re: BnHA OVA) This OVA, the one about the survival training, is behind a paywall. I started a free trial on my regional Funimation sublicensor, due to a huge coincidence regarding Human Lost which ended with me shutting up and giving my money.

Koi to Producer 7

Does Victor like persistence, or…? He’s the master of mixed signals, that man…

That second eyecatch was…Gavin? Hard to tell, the dudes look fairly alike and even have the same hair colour (bar Kiro).

Why do even little kids have to manspread?

Looks like even Victor uses Windows 10, except the “window” is arched on the top and straight on the bottom. (see 12:07 to the end)

This is almost painful…seeing Protag-chan being spoonfed like a baby bird…

…way to point out the love interests mostly look the same, Koi to Producer. Lucien and Victor’s only differences are the slight change in hair colour.

HGPC 3

Going back for the rest of HGPC.

Kawai (river + well (for water))...that’s what I assume. Likewise, Sawaizumi seems to be made of the characters for “wetland” or “stream” (for water) and “spring” (for water).

Ex-Arm Panel (VCRX)

- It was easier to follow the Japanese audio for some reason for me, especially with Saito.

- It is a sci-fi/action at heart, but has various elements to it such as romance

- It was decided to be 3D with a live-action director from the beginning

- “new story” Kimura “received [the creators’] blessing” to do

- Akira is an excellent cook, but not adept with machines – ideal protagonist, but mentally a high school boy – starts being hit by a truck – he doesn’t try to act cool – comical scenes between Minami and Akira, lots of trust between them so they can be friends – connects with Alma to fight at times – Minami is a “friend”, Akira is a “partner”

- It’s clear the host Siobhan recorded her lines separately and her questions were probably asked by a person adept in Japanese and English at first – it seemed like she was reading from a teleprompter

- Recording Akira’s lines was “something fun and new”, being conscious of breathing and human movements (e.g. breathing in, turning around when startled by something) was critical

- “I wanted to include action that had never been seen in an anime before” – Kimura – production also used techniques that they’d never used before

- “Freedom from gravity” was the biggest thing for Kimura that differed between live-action and anime, also the lack of Akira’s body

- “I don’t get along with machines very well” – Saito – he still likes tech though!

- This seems like – to me – a modern anime for the modern world.

- “a device that allows you to communicate without opening your mouth” – it sounds like Harmony (No Guns Life)

- Action scenes in 3D for the audience’s perceived involvement first, get live-action footage, then turn it to 3D

- There was (is?) an “action team”

- I woke up at 6 am for this, so getting to know a seiyuu I’ve been stanning recently…it’s like a dream, but also a bit disappointing that the distance is a bit troublesome

- Saito would want to be an electric guitar and team up with a guitarist (because he does his own songs), Kimura wants to be a drone

- Both enjoying the original manga and the anime have their advantages. – Saito

- Story about the protag’s growth

- The special announcement was that some of the additional characters’ voices were announced

- “sekai to seifu ni sensen”/”declaring war on the world [of SF]”

BnHA OVA

I got a subscription to my local Funimation sublicensor to get ahold of this OVA…make my money worth it!

Geez, the characterisation of Bakugo did a massive snapback…

…Someone ships Deku x Uraraka on the production team…

God of High School 3

Sometimes you just get tired of over-advertising and need a break from the one simulcasting anime. That’s what I was doing with this, but then I started craving magical girl anime and needed something different to back it up with, so here I am again.

Chibis, huh…?

Yup, I hear ya Miseon! You go girl!

I still think Crosshead here (Mujin Park) looks like Chrollo from Hunter x Hunter.

The saying reminds me of this song by the Presets.

There’s power behind every move…I can tell, because I’m an action writer and fan of action anime myself.

Hmm…”I can’t afford to lose!” Time is money. I think the subbers noted that with the translation.

Mori reeeeeeeeeeeeally likes bananas, huh?

#simulcast commentary #God of High School #Boku no Hero Academia #Koi to Producer: EVOL x LOVE #Mr Love: Queen's Choice #Ex-Arm #My Hero Academia #Virtual Crunchyroll Expo #Chesarka watches Koi to Producer #Chesarka watches BnHA #Chesarka watches GoHS #healin' good precure #Chesarka watches HGPC

Mitsubishi Japan up-to something not happy with me sending the contents of tumblr sirjustice200 or 199 to other people on Instagram i follow not which if they send me Friend request meaning they have digested my text, so i don't worry dude even if deleted, they aint happy maybe have known how to make bombs and detonators to liaise with enemy to USA against Japanese people as per my look out. Lets open our investigation dude might aid in like Nagasaki/Hiroshima bombings of using people who transfigure to place the above, let city all rooms got sensor motion alarms and all corridors to combat the same even placing cameras below the earth crust on areas directly up above the city radius as now u have known to make E-cargo drones which will not harbor the excuse we are short of fuel to stop.

https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/There-is-a-gift-for-the_62414875931.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.0.0.408b7864SpQQ6d

Britain erased out of the map, its worth, as brought Hindu here to disturb thinking it will always be that way which aint the case, printing many nation money curbed, banks finished as they got their banks funding their huge world liked sports like EPL which gives the huge people room or a place to talk or start talking as proactive that Industrialization started in Britain maybe the played such 4 long to give them that know-how similar with them which aint the case belittling other caliber of people. We now know that innovation is just a mastered steps as in tumblr sirjustice50 followings which the Britain thing written in books is a hoax dude to shut up big bodied people.

Kinda, u see 1 stubbing ya eye or ya friend eye to signal Russia ambition defeat of thinking they will shift world attention to their lands after coming up with Internet and learning how to make electronics as well as cars which many nations now knows and the utility of cut flowers to cut on Britain, German export which they use to make same above to import on many EU nations which at that time had not known how to make machines using other option products like rye, wheat, or chaff to reduce on British imports of flowers which reduces the incomes of countries they import from like china, Kenya or Netherlands. Or in the metro-dome described in the following tumblr a/c above, now u see ya self not walking on the sides of the wall outside but on a connect bridge on water away from the metro-dome to signal defeat and ya escape as triumph. Morever flowers can be grown in any nation in greenhouses once they have known how to make such tents not the bought expensive ones barring many nations to take such initiatives dude.

They disturb me everyday to write this and that yet what i place in 1 tumblr a/c i place in like 3 other a/c in the sequence so if 1 shifted 2 still remain as well tumblr can block 1 thinking 1 shifted it yet will surface after some days dude. The bottom line they want to find the words well placed explanations which they aint sure its mine as i direct them of lost touch with a link dude b4 they say u r of their tribe and bring with them their many poverty laden infants to help them feed yet they claim as below without 2nd thought Kenya is richer than most deemed rich nations and whats on the media is a hoax dude. Animal like in nature they claim to be as in Genesis 49 on Lion of Judah as excuse 4 people to praise and worship them without nothing.

Nations around Afghanistan got sand everywhere that can be used to make building stones and pavements as USA get such and make the mentioned out of them and sell to other lands as well baring many nations from claiming they come from the same land like Kikuyu in vision with the above as claim it now when their is war so u send ya troops to help combat the situation which they will say they got no cash to undertake such yet the nation they claim Kenya is richer than undertakes such initiative deeming them insane better 4 being alone or annihilated if they continue disturbing the world peace making it a blessing in disguise as building blocks and sand can be made with other options as cereal outer peel chaff in the boom process where such are mixed with much water then grinned pineapple, raw mango juice or pumpkin added b4 water is hurled or many spit saliva unto the solution and boom ya sand. Some motor bikes are made with added above instead of raw mango juice but ripe 1, dude try with ripe or raw fruits 4 better results with all machines as u can use thinner in syringes in place of spitting saliva or hurling with water 4 more durable machine products or parts dude.

Any nation like Canada which did not have their own made machines like auto-mobiles and military vehicle as well as home appliances now employs most of their citizens of less pay to occupy those new positions they occupied as others move to those left position in the former case which make the latter left jobs empty making such countries to outsource in areas such as with green-cards and even take manual jobs 4 those now in high position having less time to do the same or now having cash to employ to make the world go round

Britain even use flowers to make soda, writing pens, ink and liquor bottle they sell to many world wide nations like bond 7, whisky and black and white, which if many nations have learnt the same decline the volume of import flowers creating ripple effects from sa well nations the import from as explained below. Even soda straw and cans are made using rye or dough as well as cut flower as in the links below, making carli4nia still as rich as NY, it serves the local markets saving their foreign exchange so they import not

“Are you listening to me? I look into your eyes, and I can’t tell if you’re getting anything that I’m saying.”

“Why is your cousin such a wet sandwich?”

“Are you a bully? You’re starting to sound like a bully.”

“That’s… You just destroyed the whole experiment.”

“You’re supposed to be my lap partner.”

“You’re disloyal.”

“What the cuss? Where did this giant fence come from?”

“Well, I just hope it doesn’t mean thunder, ‘cause I have a phobia of that.”

“The master plan is working again.”

“Why don’t we run that way? There’s no obstacles.”

“That’s so grisly. There’s blood and everything.”

“You’re improving. Let’s put it like that.”

“Where’d you come from?”

“You’re gonna get me in a lot of trouble!”

“Where the cuss does that kid get off?”

“You think he’s gonna tell on us?”

“Before we go any further, from now on, can you give me some kind of a signal once in a while, just so I know any of this is getting through to you?”

“Ah, good, you made it. Anybody see you?”

“You don’t listen to anybody.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Why are you yelling at me?”

“I think it’s time for me to give us a pep-talk and explain some things.”

“May I have a word with you, privately?”

“I’m gonna lose my temper now.”

“Why? Why did you lie to me?”

“I’m trying to tell you the truth about myself.”

“I don’t care about the truth about yourself. This story is too predictable.”

“In the end, we all die. Unless you change.”

“If I had a crystal ball, I’d predict a fairly grisly outcome to this situation.”

“This is gonna be a total cluster cuss for everybody.”

“I don’t think I can last another couple of hours before I get completely dehydrated and starve to death.”

“We took everything!”

“Well, they could be anywhere by now.”

“We should’ve stayed out of it.”

“I’m still not getting a signal. Is anybody getting any reception?”

“I can imagine how painful, even just emotionally, that must be for you.”

“Well, you know, it’s not the end of the world.”

“Oh, but, _____, how humiliating…”

“Can we drop it?”

“Hey! They say you’re a natural. True or false?”

“Listen. I just had a brainstorm for something fantastic I’ve got to do, but I can’t do it alone.”

“I don’t feel safe.”

“We look good.”

“It’s my fault.”

“You still think we beat ‘em, _____?”

“I shouldn’t have lied to your face.”

“I enjoyed it, but I shouldn’t have done it.”

“Oh, why’d you have to get us into it, _____?”

hey guys. i had bad dreams and a lot of trouble sleeping!!! i woke up a bunch of times and every time i was tangled up in my pjs. my pants had somehow become backwards at the waist.

when i did get up i reached up to stretch and my shoulders, like, clicked back into place with an audible snap. i can’t tell if that hurts or not.

i was a little slow to get moving. while i was checking facebook this morning snoopy pooped next to my desk. i was pretty annoyed about that, especially since this was right after i’d fawned over her for a while. i’d only stopped because she got up to get water and i thought she was done being petted.

i showered and spent a long time in there just thinking. i don’t know what i was thinking about. i guess i was thinking about thinking in the shower. either way, it was a while.

then i made a quiche i’d bought yesterday. i think it may have made me sick. the cashier at the grocery store hadn’t put it in my freezer bag... along with the eggs. something in there doesn’t smell quite right but i haven’t found it yet. no, it’s not the eggs.

i was doing something but i don’t remember what it was!!! at 10:40 ish, or 11, somewhere in between there, i started packing for school. i decided i should probably dole out my trail mix rations finally since i’ve had the jar sitting in my pantry for 6 weeks. i love trail mix. not sure why i never took the time to separate it into servings. i even just enjoyed the process of measuring out 1/2 cups and putting them in bags to put in my lunch box over the next two weeks.

i biked over to campus but i was very leisurely about it. just didn’t have the drive to pedal as fast as i could i guess. good thing the physics building is downhill. i don’t quite have the stamina to stand on the pedals but i am trying to practice a little bit. getting pretty good at sharper turns at least, and i can hold my arm out to signal for a whole second now instead of just kinda... waving it and grabbing the handlebar again real fast.

and no part of me has gotten snagged in the pedals or chain in a week so that’s good!!!

once i got to my office i had a little trouble getting started with my work. i think it took 40-45 minutes... i again do not remember what i was doing other than browsing the internet. fatigued.

i did work for an hour before i stopped for lunch. i finished studying my class notes and adjusting a few things to account for understanding the material a little better. i wish i’d been more careful about transcribing what the professor had written previously... i left a few frustrated notes about how i couldn’t hear what he said, or his handwriting was too bad to make out, or how he’d written half an equation on the board and not ever finished it. but a few things i could have made better note of- like the slant of the tensor indices. i didn’t realize that was important until much later.

i do ask him to clarify sometimes, if i can’t read whether a word says “sine” or “mmnmnn”. and his Vs look like Ns. that REALLY trips me up because we use both of those a lot.

but i can’t ask every time.

i talked to suzanne about having all the grad students upload their class notes into an online database so we’d all have all the information we’d collectively written down. she said that’s actually a great idea and we have a scanner in the department for people who write in real old fashioned notebooks (like me).

might run it by luis and taylor later... one of them could probably help me set up some kind of dropbox or google doc collection.

my lunch was pretty great. i had a sandwich and a banana and had a terrible stomachache but felt a little more settled after the banana. i had to try real hard not to puke though for like an hour.

after that i finished my classical assignment due tomorrow. it took about an hour too. and another 40-ish minutes sprinkled through the rest of the day making small corrections as i discovered why i shouldn’t include a factor of 2 here and there.

suzanne watched me try to explain one of the problems to harrison and corrected me a few times when i got confused by terms i’d heard her use when she explained it to me. it got me flustered at the time because harrison looked like i was making it worse but at the same time i’m glad i had to articulate what exactly the problem was asking for and get my course adjusted right away as soon as i made a mistake.

still not quite sure what “geometric analysis” means, especially in comparison to, i think it was, “numerical analysis.” both of those involve popping variables into equations and making substitutions and getting an answer.

at about 2:30 i walked over to the union with suzanne and jennica in the rain. i was half under suzanne’s umbrella so when we got inside half of me was immediately cold and soggy. one sleeve of my shirt was just soaked but the rest was lightly sprinkled or just dry.

i’m wearing one of my favorite shirts today. it’s soft and gray and loose and it says in big white letters “DON’T BOTHER ME I’M BUSY” and there’s minions posing.

not sure what the minions are doing there but their frozen screams of karate rage match my mood at all times so i will allow it.

i’ve had this shirt for years. i wear it like literally every laundry cycle.

anyway i sat with my two classmates and talked about sand while they ate wendy’s. i don’t quite remember what started the tangent, but it involved me telling a joke about body surfing with my brother and getting slapped around by the waves and dragged along the beach haha.

when we walked back it wasn’t really raining any more. i originally didn’t mind the rain until it got ice cold over the span of three seconds. but anyway i got right back to it!!! i think. i mostly ate trail mix for a little bit and goofed off with harrison and talked about the classical homework. suzanne wants to work on the last two quantum problems tomorrow so i let that assignment be for now.

i compiled all the questions we’ve been assigned in classical so far and their solutions. i printed out just the questions from the first assignment to take home with me. i meant to work on it tonight but i ran out of time. that took forever though. i joked about it to harrison. i said “it’s so great to be working on a project that is not really doing actual practice problems.”

he said “yeah, i love dicking around instead of working.”

i said “that’s what it’s all about!”

i was kinda bummed that doing the homework took so long... and none of us had ANY energy at all. luis didn’t even come in. taylor came in in the mid-afternoon but then didn’t actually sit and do any work. rebika left before that. jennica was... riding up and down the hallway in an office chair flopping her arms around like a terrifying crab woman.

we’re tired.

eventually i was getting ready to leave when jennica wanted to talk about pirates for like 15 minutes. we ended up on pseudo-politics. not actually talking about any issues in particular, but rather how we approach them. i started getting pretty dark thoughts so i hopped on my bike and went home.

i mean, they weren’t any darker than the joke i’d made earlier.

taylor had said something. harrison replied, “who are you, my mother? if all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?”

i laughed and said “absolutely. of course, the joke is that i would have done it without all my friends. jumped off the bridge, i mean.”

we talked about how high the bridge was, and if it was over water or not. there were a couple “it doesn’t matter how high it was as long as you believe in yourself” comments because taylor was involved with the conversation.

anyway i offered to make muffins later in the week and then i went home at 6:30-ish. at 7:00 i started making TEMPEH TACOS!!!!

they were so good. oh man. i only exploded one thing too. i actually ate the entire meal even though it was way too much. i cleaned up the dishes bloated and happy and everything smelled like limes. because i’d put like a quarter cup of lime juice in with with the crumbled tempeh. which was only a big enough serving for one person.

i bummed around on the internet for a while after that, and then at about 9:30 i got back to work for a little bit. i made a complete rubric for the labs i gotta grade, so hopefully now it will be faster and more cut and dry. at about 10:10 i started writing here.

looking at my to-do list... i didn’t get as much done as i would have liked. things always seem to take twice as long as i plan for, even when i feel like i’m allocating a generous time slot to relatively minor things. like giving myself a full hour to finish half a classical problem that specifically asks for no (dynamical) equations. all i had to do was draw a triangle and do some trigonometry with suzanne.

being a master avoider has some downsides. like even when i want to focus on a project my brain is sneaky about avoiding it. which is why i spent 80 minutes putting together an easy reference for doing the practice problems instead of actually doing practice problems.

at least i recognized all the questions and had a vague idea of how i would go about solving them. i’m really, really hoping it doesn’t take twelve hours to do one old assignment like it did the first time around.

looks like grading will have to slide this week. i can do it for a little while every day but there’s no way i can get it all done on monday and get enough sleep to do my best on the exam on tuesday night.

i don’t WANT to screw around all the time. but it seems like that’s what keeps happening.

and no matter how much work i get done i should always have gotten MORE done.

something good about me today was MY AMAZING, FANTASTIC COOKING PROJECT. IT WAS SO GOOD YOU GUYS. IT WAS SO GOOD!!! it’s not quite what i remember making back at home a few months ago, but it was great in its own way and i think making the tacos either way will do it for me! maybe a little less lime juice next time. maybe that’s what was overpowering the earthy nuttiness of the tempeh. i even sauteed the onions for a little bit to take the edge off and that helped a lot toward making the crumbled tempeh taste more complete and less like a collection of onions and chili powder and limes.

oh! and i came up with a great way to avoid the Onion Tears. i put my fan next to my cutting board and had it blow the fumes out the window while i chopped. snoopy sat on the ottoman and watched me.

i think cooking a nice, for real meal for myself every now and then does a lot toward lifting my mood. i wish i had time to do it more often. even just putting my freezer stuff in the oven instead of the microwave can do a lot for the texture even though it takes four times as long.

i’m not sure how i got so good at this. maybe part of it is that my own food just tastes better because i know how much work i put into it. *i* went out and bought the stuff. *i* chopped up all the onions and the tempeh and boiled it. *i* set aside the serving i wasn’t using for leftovers later. *i* spent 35 minutes putting everything together. part of the flavor is just feeling good about making this thing for yourself.

but even the stuff i’d make at home mom seemed to like at least.

part of it might be that i know what a lot of things taste like and how much god dang chili powder i love to have on everything. and it’s kind of easy to judge from the smell how much, comparatively, of that thing i should put into my pan. i have a decent sense of smell. raised by dogs and all that.

and half the fun is realizing you don’t have something and improvising with what you do have. and seeing what happens when you do that.

and dumping piles and piles of chipotle rub you stole from your mom’s pampered chef set on everything.

by “stole” i mean she said “you can have this one and i’ll order a new one. and then another new one for myself.”

i wish i had more cooking vocabulary. i don’t have anyone to talk to about it and i don’t really know... what kinds of words to use when i do talk about it? like until a few hours ago i wasn’t really sure what the difference between “saute” and “fry” was. still not quite sure why “broil” is different from “bake.”

kind of feels like when i was at home and i didn’t have anyone to talk to about physics for eight months. and kind of feels like when i like a tv show and don’t have anyone to talk to about it for years. you get out of practice.

anyway it’s 11:15 and i’d like to be in bed real soon so i can start getting up early like a normal person again. if i get up at 8 the sun’s been up too long already and i’ve woken up like five times because it comes right through the window directly into my eyeballs.

An amazing variety of pop artists now use backing tracks, with applications ranging from total playback with a miming band (as on the majority of TELEVISION shows) to a complete band playing live, augmented by a few pre-recorded sounds and backing vocals. The latter approach is pretty much the norm for live pop reveals nowadays. Nevertheless, regardless of the universality of blues guitar backing tracks, assembling backing tracks and activating them on-stage isn't necessarily a walk in the park, as I've discovered through long experience as a live drummer. So in this article, I'm going to reveal you how to get the very best outcomes with live backing tracks, as well as providing pointers for avoiding typical risks. Basic Two-track Playback I'll begin by dealing with simple two-track playback from CD, DAT or Minidisc. In a two-track blues guitar backing tracks, track one (or the left channel of a stereo recorder) should be designated the 'click channel' (heard just by the artists on phase), while track two carries the pre-recorded audio you want the audience to hear. The click channel is exclusively for the band's (and particularly, the drummer's) advantage, and requires to be thoroughly assembled. I detailed how to develop ideal click tracks back in SOS August 2003, so I will not cover that ground once again here, however it deserves discussing that, in a live context, the click channel can also double as a cue track. In the heat of a gig, you wouldn't think how easy it is to dial up the incorrect index number on a DAT machine or CD player, so it's good practice to precede each song in the set with a taped announcement of its name on the click/cue channel. To prevent uncomfortably long spaces between tunes, this should be kept short-- if the song is called 'My Bananas Are Covered In Fluorescent Green Sump Oil', restrict yourself to saying 'Bananas', and begin the two-bar count-in click a 2nd or 2 later on. In this manner, you can be positive that you're about to play the correct song! One pitfall with CD-Rs is that their indexes in some cases start fractionally after the very first click of a count-in, cutting off beat one and leaving the drummer in balanced limbo. Beginning each tune with a recorded spoken ID prior to the count-in will avoid this taking place; if the CD index cuts off part of the ID, then it will not be completion of the world. The end of a tune is as essential as its start-- remember to program the click so it stops when the track surfaces, otherwise the drummer will be tempted to use, thinking there must be another round before the ending. As soon as the last pre-recorded noise has died away, leave at least 2 minutes of area on the playback machine to provide the drummer time to down sticks, pull a 'thank you' face at the audience, halt the playback, take a look at the set list and work out what index number needs to be selected next. (If you're working with a tape-based medium like DAT and later choose to extend a song, this area could be utilized to accommodate a longer arrangement.). If you utilize shorter inter-song spaces, there's always a risk that the next tune will start prior to you've ended up playing the last chord of the previous one. Better to offer yourself a generous margin, even if the additional recording time suggests needing to use more than one playback disc or tape. In fact, if your show features two sets, it's a good idea to utilize a different disc or tape for each set anyhow, as, if one gets harmed or lost, at least half the program will still be ready to roll!

I believe it's quite essential that a band member (typically the drummer) should be in control of the backing-track device, instead of an off-stage tech. A specialist is much less likely to know when there has been a cock-up in the arrangement (such as the singer being available in 4 bars early), therefore understand when to abandon ship and shut off the playback. Utilizing a two-channel playback system means that all the 'audience mix' audio on track 2 (the right channel of a stereo recorder) needs to be pre-mixed in mono. If the original elements of your playback audio are stored in a multitrack hard drive format, you can use the system's built-in blending facilities to constantly upgrade the mono mix during rehearsals, production wedding rehearsals, and even during soundchecks while you're out on trip. However at some phase you'll need to commit to a mix and record it, so here's how best to do that. Begin by reducing any stereo sound sources (keyboards, samplers, stereo backing-vocal submixes and so forth) to mono. The best method is just to pan the left and right channels into the centre-- centralising sounds frequently makes them appear louder, so do this before you start blending. Keep an ear open for stage problems; if the left and right channels of a stereo product were mistakenly taped out of stage, they will phase-cancel when combined in mono, triggering the signal to get quieter or perhaps disappear entirely! Such an issue can quickly be treated by reversing the phase of one side of the stereo signal, but if your mixer does not have channel 'phase' buttons, you'll need to resort to rewiring an audio lead to reverse the phase. If you're dealing with your computer, you may have the ability to invert one side of the stereo file utilizing your software application's sample editor if there is no real-time phase-inversion center. If your playback uses loops, inspect that they are looping appropriately, quantised if musically essential, and not speaking late because of bad sample cutting. Extreme MIDI traffic can trigger timing wobbles, so constantly listen to loops against the click before recording them. Do not try to cram a lot of elements into your mono mix: a blend of loops, sequenced percussion and support vocals is OK, however if you begin piling on too many additional elements like church choirs and glockenspiels, it's going to start sounding a bit obvious to the audience. As a rule of thumb, opt for a reasonable balance which sounds musical, and don't overdo it with EQ or results. I often mix some of the rhythm components from the backing tracks youtube (loops, percussion, quantised keyboards and so on) into the click track also, due to the fact that this makes the click a bit simpler to groove to. (It's likewise much better to have these elements in your headphone mix rather than coming out of speakers, which might be some range away and therefore sounding very postponed in relation to the click. Remember, every metre presents around 3ms delay!) If musical aspects are to be added to the click in track one, it's most likely best that the drummer supervises the mix, as the balance of the click versus the music is definitely vital. It can be very difficult to evaluate the playback mix while you frequent your studio, particularly if your studio uses small speakers. Large PA systems give an extremely different bass reaction, and rehearsal-room screen speakers will introduce their own 'distinctive' tonal qualities! When it concerns devoting to a mix, an useful solution could be to take your initial multitrack device (be it ADAT, Tascam eight-track, computer or whatever) to the wedding rehearsal space along with a little blending desk. Then you can establish each tune and have the band play along to it, while a band member stands in front of the PA speakers and makes a judgement about the mix of the mono playback material. The two-track mix you're creating is truly 2 simultaneous mono blends, so you'll require to send it from 2 independent outputs of your mixing desk (not the main stereo outputs) into your recorder. As soon as you feel you have actually reached an optimal balance, devote your click/cue track to the left channel of your CD-R/DAT/Minidisc while recording the playback 'music mix' to the right channel. Take care to jot down the record level settings, as you will need to repeat these levels with all the other songs you blend. When taping, silence all the channels on the desk (except the click track and announcement) till a fraction of a second before the music starts. This will prevent a huge, disruptive hiss burping out of the PA on the front of every tune. Additionally, you could import all the blended two-track files into a computer or DAW and clean them up by 'topping and tailing' before making the final digital master.

When you have actually ended up recording the whole set, make back-ups of whatever and provide the back-ups to a responsible band member or tech, for safekeeping in a various place from the masters. Unless you're extremely unlucky, flood, fire or other acts of God should then only destroy one set at a time! The problem with mono playback is that, once you've set your mix, you're persevered. This inflexibility is not perfect, and when out on tour playing in various venues and acoustic circumstances, you might discover that some things no longer sound right-- some nights the tambourine in the pre-recorded mix might sound fine, other nights it might appear exceptionally emphasized. BVs can unexpectedly appear too loud, and reverbs that you embed in a dry rehearsal room turn out to be extreme when played in a place with lively acoustics. The only way to deal with these variables is to utilize multitrack playback. If you record a number of the different musical aspects to various tracks of a digital multitracker, such as the Roland VS2480 or Yamaha AW2816, this permits you the flexibility to adjust the blends of your backing tracks online at rehearsals and soundchecks.

Multitrack playback provides the sound mixer a far better chance of doing his task well. Having the playback sounds on separate tracks suggests that their channel EQ can be differed to suit each place's acoustics, that makes it simpler to mix the pre-recorded and live audio. Practical, consistent track laying will greatly help the sound mixer, so make sure the same sounds appear on the very same tracks throughout the set: for example, sequenced percussion and loops could go on tracks one and 2, bass lines on track 3, BVs on track 4, stereo keyboards on tracks 5 and six, and so on. Any pair of tracks designated as stereo needs to remain stereo throughout the set, to save the sound engineer having to alter desk pan positions-- however, if needed you can use a designated stereo set to play a mono signal by tape-recording the mono sound on both tracks. The highest-numbered track must usually be scheduled for the click/cue track; in ADAT playback, for instance, the click must be tape-recorded on the recorder's track eight. As with a mono mix, ensure that your levels correspond throughout the set. The click level ought to never differ, and the levels of other noises require to be musically suitable from song to tune-- if the sequenced percussion all of a sudden doubles in volume throughout your fourth song, the sound mixer won't be best pleased. Recording multiple tracks concurrently certainly requires a mixer with multiple busses, however at a pinch you can squeeze additional outputs out of any desk by utilizing its echo and foldback sends out, set to pre-fade to keep independence from the channel's fader level. By way of an example, have a look at the track design and output assignments shown in the grey box. It's for a song I've been playing just recently with a live band, utilizing the Yamaha AW2816 hard disk recorder for playback. All the audio was moved from a 24-bit Pro Tools system through an ADAT bridge into an ADAT user interface card installed in the back of the AW2816. No maker synchronisation was included, however the AW2816 was toiled to the Pro Tools word clock. The AW2816 has six outputs. The click track 8 and the vocal hints on track 16 go to output 3, which is linked directly to the drummer's earphone amp; I also like to mix in a small amount of the other tracks, so whatever appears in my earphones and the percussive stuff feels comfy with the click. Output 4 is utilized to send out the click to the rest of the band's in-ear screens. In my earphones, the click plays throughout the tune, but the band only hear it when I'm not playing (for instance, during a song intro used bass just). This sounds complicated, however is easy to do utilizing the AW2816's automated blending facilities-- you simply unmute the click in output four only for the areas on which the drums aren't playing. We mixed the very first 7 tracks to outputs one and two (the primary stereo outputs) for the front-of-house engineer. Throughout production practice sessions (and even soundchecks) he makes demands about each tune's mix, and I adjust the levels to his taste as the tour goes on-- sometimes it's merely a concern of tweaking the relative general level from one song to another. I have actually found that it generally takes 3 gigs or so till the engineer ends up being delighted with all the mixes, after which we seldom change them. Perhaps you're a teacher that wants to make your students' practice more fun and interesting by offering them with backing tracks. Or perhaps you're a trainee that wishes to rapidly make a track to play in addition to. This post will go show you quick ways to make backing tracks for any tune you hear. You will need to know some fundamental theory (reading music and chord recognition), however other than that, it's not so tough - particularly with the help of apps that can make the tracks for you (which is what I explain below). I originally planned to make a guide simply for the 'making a backing track' part, however thought to consist of some basic chord identification techniques for trainees or those who have not discovered this theory yet! After all, you can't make backing tracks without understanding what chords to put underneath. Without more ado ... Step 1: Recognize Chords If you already have a lead sheet/chord chart or currently understand the chords, you're all set to relocate to Step 2. You can also utilize this wonderful thing called the internet to discover the chord developments for nearly any tune. A fast look for" [song name] chords" must raise something, usually guitar tabs which work fine. Some of these normally require some tweaking but offer a good enough base.

If you can't find chords for your song (for example, if you're attempting to make some blues backing tracks in e minor for classical pieces), you're going to need to either 1. utilize your ear or 2. grab the sheet music and use your theory understanding. Honestly, chord analysis need to and could be an entire book by itself. But we won't get into that here. Most of the time, we can utilize a few choose techniques to quickly find out the chord development and get to jamming! Disclaimer: this isn't meant to be a proper theory lesson. Rather, we're going to reveal you 3 really, very fast and dirty pointers that work most of the time in identifying chords: 1. Bassline (by ear). Listen to the bassline. This is always my initial step in attempting to figure out chords because the bass player/bassline is usually the key to all of it. This is due to the fact that it's up to the bassist what chord I, the pianist, am playing. What I indicate by that is: for example, Cmaj7 and Amin7( 9) are the same notes (C E G B). Throw in inversions, and with no context (like a bass note), it might actually be either one. So - listen to the bassist initially. It's simple due to the fact that they normally play 1 note at a time, not 7 notes at a time like the chords you're attempting to figure out. You can currently hear a bassline detailing the chords (placed on your headphones if you can't hear it!) - but if it's a bit hard to make out, find a part of the tune where the bass is more prominent! Precise exact same notes as the start, however more balanced and noticable. By figuring out the bassline, now you know the first chord is some sort of A chord, then a G # chord, then C#. Then F#, G #, A. And then, I suggest, this tune is a pop tune. There aren't going to be any insane alternatives or extensions. Simply try out the basic chords (significant triad/seventh, minor triad/seventh, dominant seventh, etc.) and you probably got it! (This one ends up being Amaj7, G #min 7, C# min7. F# min7, G #min 7, Amaj7. That's the entire song.). Another fast method to find out chords in piano sheet music - take a look at the left hand of a song/piece. Usually, it's either already playing the chord or the chord is just separated and arpeggiated (or it's playing the bass note!). Here's Fur Elise. There's just As, Es, and a C. Rearrange it into a 1-3-5 and it's an A minor triad (A-C-E). Ta-da! The procedure after that would be an E major triad (E-G #- B). Super simple things. You can do that with almost anything you see these patterns for.

Keep in mind to also look vertically too. Here's the following area of Fur Elise: The first arpeggiation has C and G on the left hand and an E on the right. C major triad (C-E-G). The next has G and B on the left, a D on the right. G major triad (G-B-D). And so on. Now you can take a look at 'complicated' sounding tunes like Fantaisie Impromptu and instantly find the chord progressions and make your own plans. (That circled around step is a C# minor triad). 3. Patterns/chord movement. Much like how you understand patterns for words, there are expectable patterns in most music. For example, you understand that if someone says "and", the following word will not be "however". If you meet up with somebody and you hear them say, "How are ...", you anticipate it to end with "... you?". Like this, there are patterns that can help you quickly browse through chords and chord analysis. If you do a search on it, you'll discover a great deal of great sources. There are lists of common chord progressions for pop tunes, rock songs, jazz etc. and also rules for what chords can follow each other in classical music. I do not want to note them all here, however here's the absolute most standard one you'll see typically:. V - I. For example, in the key of C: G - C. (Or ii - V - I (d - G - C)). If you know what secret you remain in and you struck a V chord, you can expect a I chord to follow. If you look back at Fur Elise, that first passage is simply i - V - i - V - i. This is because a if you hear a V chord - particularly a V7 chord - it just pleads to resolve to the I. Attempt playing a V7 - I (G7 - C). Now, if you return to the G7 - it doesn't sound like you can end on it. It requires to solve. Stress and resolution. Step 2: Make your backing track. Now for the fun part: making the actual backing track! Here are a couple of ways available:. Easy. Record yourself playing the chords on a chordal instrument (piano, guitar, and so on). Just play back the recording on a loop and have fun noodling over it! This is best for targeted practice over particular chord developments you're having trouble improvising over. You can also use this for entire songs if you're okay without the drums/bass. Medium. For something with a complete rhythm section that takes extremely little effort on your end to make, attempt backing track apps! All you need to do is go into the chords/chord signs and the program will produce blues guitar backing tracks for you. For teachers making tracks for their trainees, you must try to find apps that permit you to export the audio file so you can connect it to your students' projects in Better Practice. Difficult. If you wish to make your own customized tracks from scratch and you have a mutual understanding of chords, basslines, and percussion, you can use some sort of DAW (digital audio workstation) like Garageband. There are many tutorials on this online if you browse "make your own backing tracks". This has a much greater finding out curve than the other 2 choices, however likewise have the potential to be the most gorgeous and creative. Ideally you now have some chord recognition tricks up your belt to make starting the procedure a little simpler. Transcribing things isn't supposed to be easy right off the bat! You'll need to repeat things over and over, hum along, and often simply guess 'til you get it right. A few of you are blessed with much better ears than the rest people and can choose stuff quickly. Most others just require to transcribe typically and get a feel of what chords seem like, and it becomes much easier ultimately. You'll begin to notice that lots of songs have comparable pieces of chord progressions that you hear and think, "Aha! I already know what he's doing there." In fact, teachers, making guitar backing tracks em would be a terrific task for your trainees! Obviously, learning correct theory is the greatest help - specifically jazz theory. But for those of you who don't have time for all that or are just getting started, I hope these suggestions could assist!
