Damn it's a nice night in the Cities

Look, everyone has a thing and the more you're into that thing, the harder you go in on failures. But why these folks *so savage about apples*? It's honestly impressive. applerankings.com/pick-an-apple/

The irises in the neighborhood are just amazing this year. Even mine are beautiful. I am excited for a much prettier summer.

Woo Spring Break!* Surf's up!** *three-day weekend in March **water is deadly, swimming not recommended

Without downloading any new pics, what's your energy going into 2024?

the arts cultural market is currently dependent on either highly visible performance or invisible unpaid labor with almost zero in-between. be a star or be exploited - and even those handful of off-camera artists still largely command Cult of Personality

I left the house to have a beer away from all the usual stuff in my life just to end up sitting next to some dudes talking about keyboards and learning classic rock synthesizer solos note for note and Leslie cabinets and oh no now it's brass instruments why can't I have peace

I ate chile on every meal today and it was a good day.

Five symphonies to get to know me: 1. Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5 2. Mahler: Symphony No. 3 3. Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms 4. Dvorak: Symphony No. 6 5. Schubert: Symphony No. 5 So many cool pieces beyond symphonies, though

Totally a "my dog is worried about me" day but it's ok

Big Beer Friday! Finally!

Ooh I never knew there was a Big Beer Friday! Yay!

Started today's listening with a new recording of "A Prayer to the Dynamo" by Johann Johannsson and WOW what an intense and beautiful piece

We have done all of the usual evening activities (basement time, toy, box destruction, pineapple treat dispenser, and fake rawhide) and are still discontent or hungry or both
