Prompting Gemini to write a song

 

Friday

I got up soon after 7:30. I started the morning list, whipped up a batch of cheese squares and popped them in the oven. I finished the morning list, then got dressed and took some of the cheese squares to the chapel.

I opened the chapel and the Clark kids showed up. Saronna had a math game of cards that go in stacks. So we set up 4 topics. The kids went through each pile once, placing each card in the appropriate stack. Then they got a snack. By 10, they were finishing up the piles. Then the kids left. Saronna and I talked for awhile. I checked the lights and restrooms, then locked the doors. We talked outside for a bit, then went home.

I worked on making leaves for the pumpkin block, photographing it, then posting an announcement for the class. I read e-mail. I made and ate breakfast. I wrote down a grocery list. We went to the commissary to get what they had. Then we went to Tooele for the rest. We shopped at all the usual places and came back to the base.

Chris unpacked the groceries while I laid down. But I couldn't sleep. I checked the gopher traps. No gophers.

I pulled up the lyrics that Michelle got from Chatgpt last week. I started to tweak them. Chris made supper. I ate while tweaking. I messaged back and forth with Kurt. He used Gemini to make music and lyrics. It sounded good, but the syllables were not right. He did it again. I sent him the lyrics I tweaked. But Gemini changed them and wrote a song.

Finally it was time to prepare for Game Night. I made tea and picked some greens for Michelle. I stopped at the swap shop to lock it at Shelly's request. When I arrived at Michelle's house, she was decorating for Christmas. We talked for awhile before calling up the game. I was stuck for some time. Finally I figured it out and played forward.

I got to a place where Indy was on a ledge. Some bug in the game was nudging him off the ledge and he fell in the lava. I had coded him for invincibility so he didn't die, and the game would not let me exit and start over.

I handed the keyboard to Casey and he inadvertently hit Quicksave. So, after he got the game put right, I had to start the level all over again. So this time, he agreed to do the jumps for me. I almost got back to where I started before I realized how late it was. I saved and exited the game. I thanked him and went home.

Chris was already in bed. I worked on my blog, then went through my evening ritual.
