Also and I’m mean this in truly the most positive way, but why does Gym Class Heroe’s music kinda sound like the music that would be behind a Knuckles level in Sonic Adventure 2?

Gym Class Heroes putting out a new album soon is definitely one of the things that helps me get out of bed in the morning

Saw a car come down the street twice while I was waiting for the bus. Likely a wrong turn, but also maybe a glitch in the matrix?

At long last, a new post on my blog! I dug into the @obsidian.md Bases View API to learn about how plugin authors can implement their own custom Bases views. Check it out for a peek at the API, plus a walkthrough of building your own Calendar view! alexlafroscia.com/tech/2025/ma...

It’s Midwest emo season

10 years apart, same place, same goofballs ❤️ @alexlafroscia.com

Looking out a window watching the rain while listening to moody music is one of life’s simple pleasures

It’s funny how as a kid I did everything I could to prevent my hair from turning green after going swimming. Now as an adult, I just chose to dye my hair green. Guess I couldn’t fight it forever

Two more years before Lead Sails and Paper Anchors turns 20 and I stg if Atreyu tours that album, I will go wherever I need to

Is there a pop goes punk of “Bye, Bye, Bye” somewhere? Because I feel like there should be

The new PA license plates are lame af 👎

Shout out to the Pittsburgh bus drivers. I know some of the less good ones out there can give ‘em all a bad rep, but the amount of considerate, compassionate and just generally good bus drivers I’ve had absolutely rules. Thank you all for doing what you do

Today’s playlist is essentially songs I liked in 2006, but as an angsty hot topic teen was annoyed that they also played at Hollister

A million blessings and good vibes to the drivers that actually stop and let me use the pedestrian right of way crosswalk

I listened to “Bad Day” by Daniel Powter for the first time in 600 years and I think it healed me a little bit. 10/10 would recommend especially if you’re doing a thing they would’ve done in a music video from that era (I was on the bus, it really worked)

Why did TWRP’s new song “Critters” make me cry? 😂 — I know why, it’s because it’s exactly how I feel about animals. One line from the song “Oh how I wish I could befriend you all. I’m way too big and your so small”

Back on my bull shit again, so I’m here to tell you Eiffel 65’s Europop is an incredible album and it’s a tragedy it’s not streaming. I have it on CD though so if I know you IRL I will happily let you borrow it

Today I saw a street cleaner in action, which is one of my favorite random things (thanks to watching mighty machines as a kid). May you see one of your favorite random things today

Sad I won’t be in town for Four Chord to see AFI, loving the new single they just put out

I feel like the one thing I’ll never be able to shake being a former emo online kid is the desire to post edgy song lyrics somewhere

Saw a hawk in the park while the bus was stopped and was like wow, what a cool birb wonder what it’s up to. — Pooping, the hawk was pooping. ✨So Majestic✨

Idk man, I just love the album “Take This to Your Grave” so much. That’s it, that’s the skeet

Shameless hype for an app I work on, but being able to use the sharrow to directly add a link on to a Freeform board is such a powerful feature. I’ve been using it to save decorating ideas for later instead of just keeping a tab open for months and then inevitably just deleting it after a while

I really need Wind Rose to come to Pittsburgh thnx

I know I’m a 30 year old woman, but it’s still nice to have my Neopet tell me she loves me

It’s a good thing I’m going on a really long plane flight soon because listening to a bunch of Hello Hyrule has me wanting to play _every_ Zelda game (okay maybe not Four Swords)

Hi it’s your TWRP evangelist here, @alexlafroscia.com and I recently watched their music video for Content 4 U and it’s perfect, so I’m sharing it with all of you youtu.be/wEGs-OiB4kk?...

Building out my next D&D playlist (we’re on the rails for this one 🚂) and so far it’s entirely Lazerhawk

Conclave Selects First Chicago-Style Pope

Grew up Catholic, am not Catholic, but yes ofc I’m invested in the new pope, it’s in my bones, it’s part of the religious trauma

Re-listening to From Under the Cork Tree for the first time in a while for the 20th anniversary (yikes) and damn this album meant so much to me 😭 Where do I go to karaoke the whole thing?

Weird thing I can’t believe I’m saying in 2025 (that’s harmless), I really love the new All American Rejects song. It’s very different, but I can still hear the AAR in there

Idea: what if instead of making more super hero movies, we instead give the Justice League animated series from the early 2000s the X-Men the animated series treatment. Thnx (prompted by me only wanting the best for Hawkgirl in the new Superman movie)

I love Fall Out Boy for many reasons, but one is because their discography feels like it mirrors my own stages of growing up. Hella emo -> more “mainstream” trying to fit in (not saying this era is bad at all) -> went to therapy and is now a bit of all of it rolled into one and better than ever

I’ve been out of playing WoW for the last few months (and will be a little longer now that @alexlafroscia.com and I are playing Blue Prince), but every time I listen to Wind Rose I’m like man, I gotta play WoW again. It makes me feel like I’m moshing around with the Bronzebeards

TWRP must be protected at all cost because they’re filling my daft punk shaped void

Need a good album to work to? May I recommend Redline by Lazerhawk? 12/10 incredible album, that is if you like listening to what kinda feels like music from an 80s racing game

Will be watching Batman Forever tonight to commemorate Val Kilmer, truly one of my favorite Batman movies

Girls shouldn't have to work if they're so so sleepy

Listening to the album Fight With Tools by Flobots and I feel like given *gestures around* everything going on rn, I feel like we could really use a Fight With Tools 2 or something like that thnx

The problem with being healed from some of my sports focused childhood trauma is now I actually get the itch to play basketball semi-regularly. Do I just rent gym time for myself? 😂

Tidal’s music curation is everything. Put on a track radio for Everything Ends, which I’ve been obsessed with and every song is exactly the right vibe

My salon is playing Boys Night Out which is one of my favorite OG emo bands. Heart of Glass in Lawrenceville is everything

Absolutely not a unique take at all, but it’s worth saying anyway, Lady Gaga’s new album is so fucking incredible. Wow, wow, wow

Wearing one of my like 5 Atreyu shirts with my Atreyu sweatshirt, where can I get a pair of Atreyu pants so I can complete the look?

I cannot accurately describe how much going to BlizzCon in 2023 meant to me. Here’s to hoping I can get there in 2026!

Every morning on my walk from the bus stop to work I pass by this giant Layne’s chicken head and it kinda feels like my own version of the Dr. T. J. Eckleburg billboard from the Great Gatsby
