Happiness is a Warm Cat...or Gun
Back to work today. I'm still working from home. I hope it stays that way permanently. I don't see a reason to work from the office for what I'm currently doing.
I have a warm cat in my lap and feel bad I'm going to have to disturb her to use the bathroom once this speed skating race is over.
Day 8:
Michelle Branch "Hopeless Romantic"

I Like It, I'm Not Gonna Crack
I did not skip yesterday's post. I just didn't do one. I've decided that I will most likely be skipping Saturday every week. There is a radio program I listen to on Saturday mornings. It's Teenage Kicks on The Current (A Minneapolis/NPR radio station you can steam anywhere). This program plays alt/punk/new-wave, etc from the late 60s-mid 90s for a ( Read more... ) -
The Magic Melody
Another day, another exhaustive day because I slept poorly. I managed to fall asleep at a decent time but was up a handful of time. Our cat decided to be a hoe at 6:40 AM. She wanted to cry for a while. Apparently she knocked some stuff off the TV stand too. I have to look for it.
Day 6:
Silversun Pickups "Swoon"
Favorite Track(s): "Panic Switch"

It's February 3rd
It's always strange when I go out anywhere these days. It's so rare and it breaks me of my habits that it feels strange or like I'm cheating. It was my mom's birthday dinner. She hit a milestone. My parents are both in good health and I'm really happy about that.
I'm also happy to have the winter Olympics. I know politically they're not the best ( Read more... ) -
I'm Gonna Be Your Bubblegum Bitch
I should be working on a character for D&D one-shots we're going to start at the end of the month. Something in between a campaign we're in the middle of to break up the story and so Billy can play instead of DM every now and again. I like making characters but I'm not good at roleplaying well fleshed out characters. Bleh.

Lady Sings the Blues So Well
I don't have the energy to post an update. I worked 9.5 hours today (with a half out break included in that time) and I haven't been sleeping well lately. I'm burnt.
Day 3:
Billie Holiday - Lady Sings the Blues
Favorite Track(s): "Strange Fruit", "Trav'lin Light"
Where do you start with a vocalist like Billie Holiday? Really, I'd only ever heard " ( Read more... ) -
It Lit Me Up
I'm back! This week I finished up my six-ish long month re-read of my own journal here. From 2004 through 2013. I saw my life in snippets. I was reminded of things I forgot. I grew up. I got weird. I was stressed and depressed. It's amazing how much things change and still manage to stay the same. Maybe I'll give images of my life as they are now ( Read more... ) -
New Year, New Music
I follow a comedian on Twitter (Christian Finnigan) who, a few years ago, did an album a day kind of thing. Every day for a month he would choose an album he never listened to all of and he would play it front to back for the first time and give an honest opinion on it. He tweeted yesterday that he was going to bring that back. I figured this was a ( Read more... ) -
Marriage
Weddings and marriage are strange concepts. As a kid, I was all excited about one day marrying the love of my life in a fancy ceremony and being in love. I've been jaded and weird about love an relationships a long time. Even longer than the 8 year relationship I've been in with my current partner. I've been pretty consistently in a relationship ( Read more... ) -
Oh, it's the 4th
I keep forgetting it's Independence Day. I don't have any plans. I originally had plans to go to my aunt's house but my parents didn't want to go and they were golfing instead. At least I think that's what happened, they haven't said anything. I turned down going to the fireworks just because fireworks don't interest me all that much. I live in a ( Read more... )
