Keep writing the same old story…

King of (Un)Simple by Matt Nathanson

Insomnia is being a real bitch, but at least I have new Matt Nathanson music to occupy my brain. It’s nine songs and only has a 29 minute playtime. Because Matty Nay is the King of Short-Ass Albums, apparently. King of Un(Simple) – 29 minutes Boston Accent – 35 minutes Sings His Sat Heart – 32 minutes Show Me Your Fangs – 35 minutes Last of the Great Pretenders – 39 minutes Modern Love –… Keep reading…Keep writing the same old story…

Just keeps spinning round…

LibreOffice dashboard is not my favorite...

April. Apparently. We woke up to snow this morning and everything covered in white. By lunchtime it was over and melted and the sun was trying to shine. This has been the weirdest winter season we’ve had that I can remember. Technology is making me crabby. No, no. More than usual. …) Feedly doesn’t show ALT text for images that don’t load in an RSS feed. So there is no indication that there should be… Keep reading…Just keeps spinning round…

Out on a ledge…

muuuuuusic...

August. One month closer to the end of the festering hellscape that is summer (and Summertime SAD). Last year we still had the A/C running in October and if that happens again this year, I can’t be blamed if I start breaking shit. Week 125… People are still convinced it’s all over, except every single one of them seems to be catching The Plague, so… Anyway. O.A.R. dropped a new album. Matt Nathanson released a… Keep reading…Out on a ledge…

Every song was an anthem…

Matt Nathanson -- Show Me Your Fang

I couldn’t tell you exactly when I first heard Matt Nathanson, but I know it was right around the same time I discovered Ingram Hill—somewhere in the ballpark of 2003/2004 methinks. Beneath These Fireworks was his current album at the time and I really loved that disc, but it took a little time for the switch to flip and things to go from Hey I like this guy to ZOMG I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY….

Only got one place to go…

Fall at Your Feet by Matt Nathanson and Marc Roberge

…a padded room, most likely. Or hell. Or both. Anyway. By making one silly comment, Bob unwittingly gave me a really ridiculous idea for a story. Or at least for a set of characters I could potentially develop a really ridiculous story around. I don’t know that I could put together a full plot for it, but the gears are turning on how to make it work. If nothing else, I suppose I get a… Keep reading…Only got one place to go…

Scratch ticket lottery…

shuffle...shuffle...shuffle...DOINK

Do you have any idea what it’s like to walk down the hallway in the dark in the middle of the night and find a Tonberry in your path? Way more disturbing than it should be for a foot-tall stuffed animal. It’s after three in the morning. My mind is racing on a million different things. I might be starting to get a little bit tired, but it’s only fitting that sleep is giving me… Keep reading…Scratch ticket lottery…
