A Year in Review…2024…the Music…

Last.fm Day by Day...

I didn’t think I had listened to too much music over the past year, but the numbers are up from the year before. It was a year of the usual suspects plus the Wicked White soundtrack. (Which…features a lot of the usual suspects…) There was a little more variety in top albums, but the top songs were nearly identical. And the top artists never really change too much. In equally shocking news, water is wet…. Keep reading…A Year in Review…2024…the Music…

Beyond control…

He's like...seventy-five percent noggin...

December. Right then. Wednesday morning after Bob went downstairs to work, I went back to sleep. Like I do. Approximately two hours later, I was ripped from sleep by the loudest fucking alarm I have ever heard in my life. At first I thought it was an Amber Alert on my phone, but I quickly realized that was not the case. It took a few more seconds for my head to clear enough to realize… Keep reading…Beyond control…

Halloween Blizzard 2024

Happy Halloween? It certainly wasn’t The Halloween Blizzard of 1991 (TM), but Minnesota was still very Minnesota-y for the occasion. Pouring rain that turned into snow that turned into slush. Slush everywhere. State Patrol reported 169 accidents between midnight and 2PM. Because people forget that they have lived in Minnesota their entire lives and cannot remember how to fucking drive the first time it snows for the season. The camera was far more interested in… Keep reading…One stop short…

Meanwhile the south east section of the country is drowning. It’s fine. Everything’s fine. Anyway. I did a thing. What is it? It’s a bag of hair. Kinda… Keep reading…Amidst the broad daylight…

Need me to fix that for you?

September. If only that meant summer was over. It is not. Let’s see how many times my website goes down while I try to post something. I’m pretty sure every time I try to do anything here my service tanks yet again. I AM NOT AMUSED. The Killers put out a new song. With all four members of the band! [ Bright Lights ] Matt Nathanson released a new song. A love letter to his… Keep reading…The charge is reading low…

Blacking out again…

COULD YOU BE MORE GENERAL

It’s August. July is the worst and it’s finally over, but then there’s still August and that’s just pouring isopropyl in an open wound. Anyway. I have written a lot of expletive-laden tirades about technology and software and I had another rant started and then I had EVEN MORE website problems and the draft got deleted, and I’m not rewriting that so, you’re welcome. Can I write this post, save it, and publish it? Or… Keep reading…Blacking out again…
