During tonight’s post-midnight anti-nap (the exact opposite of an afternoon nap), I convinced myself to wash the dishes by recording myself rambling about being lonely (among other rambles).
Enjoy?
Washing dishes at five in the morning, while wearing a headlamp and recording myself speaking to an audience that isn’t there? If that’s what it takes to get the job done, I’ll do it. And it is. And I did.
Also... 50th episode!!! 🎉🥳🎉
Another morning episode, where I put my Do Deck hand together for the day and start getting the morning things done. Felt more productive than usual today.
Join me (or don’t) as I convince myself to cut up vegetables for my batch cooking of stir fry veg.
An afternoon episode, with much of the time being occupied by making tuna salad.
It’s the morning after a major event (housemate’s Disability hearing, which they won, which will drastically improve our finances), and I’m exhausted and keyed-up at the same time. Also in a lot of pain.
But the daily tasks still need to get done, and my brain still can’t manage it all on its own, so here’s another episode of me using my podcast as a way to help me get shit done and plan my day.
It was a sluggish morning today, so I encouraged myself to get started by sticking in a bluetooth earpiece, firing up the voice recorder app, and recording an episode.
You get to listen to me talk myself through the first hour of my risen day, make plans, and brush my teeth (among other things).
Enjoy?
In a break from the typical episode where I try to plan my day and get stuff done around the house, this two-parter is me, reading through the news headlines that I flagged in my RSS reader over the past 8 months, skimming some of the stories, and ranting about the state of the world.
Part 2.

Part 1.
Been feeling pretty bleh for the past few days. Higher pain levels, higher fatigue levels.
This episode is me, feeling more miserable and unfocused than usual, making sure that I get the important things done today.
Also, a change in Amazon’s Terms and Conditions was in my inbox, basically telling me that I can’t sue them or join a class action lawsuit against them, if I continue to use their services (buying necessary things at prices I can afford, without having to drive my disabled ass to fifty different stores all around the region, just to see who has anything in stock).
H2G2 fans will notice that the number of this episode is familiar for some reason.

Unscripted. Unedited. Unfocused. Unmonetized.
Greetings and welcome. I'm InMyOwnWorld, a white, queer, multiply neurodivergent, multiply disabled, middle-aged she/her and they/them non-binary…
One of the ways I cope is to talk to an imaginary audience. And, as long as I'm talking, I figured I may as well see if anyone wants to listen.
Originally conceived of as videos with my voice and a completely black screen, Black Box Recordings has become a podcast instead. An ad-free podcast consisting of disjointed ramblings, posted according to no schedule whatsoever..
Why a podcast of me rambling about whatever crosses my mind, whenever I want?
Because it will make me feel a little more connected to other people, whether or not it creates any connections. It's a placebo, to make talking to myself feel a little more productive. It's a scream into the void. It's turning the void into an ADHD body double.
I'll be putting my bluetooth earpiece in, opening up the Voice Recorder app, and pacing around the house while talking to you, my potential future audience. You'll get whatever's on my mind, for however long my brain can maintain focus on it.
Enjoy.

P.S.
Please accept my extremely flimsy apologies for the audio quality. I'm not spending any money or additional effort on this, and I kinda like the way it sounds like a phone call. It's free. What you get is what you get.

Want to tell me that I've made your life better in some way? Reviews and whatnot are nice and all, but I probably won't see them. You can get in touch with me, personally, at the following email address: InMyOwnWorldsEmail (not case sensitive, so you can type it however you like, as long as those are the letters used and the order in which they are used) followed by the 'at' symbol, then your basic gmail ending. Once again, that's InMyOwnWorldsEmail at gmail dot com.
