If you need something to restore your belief that the world does reward good people. Wanted the people who saw the story yesterday to get this update because it is epic.
I spent my Labor Day honoring those who labor by trying to fix a cranky washing machine that doesn't like to spin without crashing out with an error. Apparently I now get to buy new suspension rods to put on it that if bought OEM would cost about half the washer's original price.
Much like how Mrs. Mia Wallace loved to return from the bathroom to see that her food had arrived, I am happy to return home from a trip to see that records I had ordered had arrived while I was gone and were waiting for me to play them when I got back.
As my kid gets out of 8th grade today, I think back to when I was that age and went to my first Depeche Mode concert. World Violator Tour. DM was the first piece of music I ever bought myself. That music helped me survive those times. RIP Andy Fletcher and thank you so much for the music you provided this world.
As a Texan, today is an extremely sad and all too common occurrence in my home state. We're a state founded on violence. We solved our problems and took this land through violence. Our violent culture and past is partially to blame. And then you add something easily obtainable that can inflict the most amount of violence legally possible. And sadly we will learn nothing from today and do nothing to prevent it again
Signed up for 3 months of VMP just to get Low End Theory. USPS says it was delivered last night when it clearly wasn't. Either it's at someone else's house and they decided to keep it or it's still on a truck getting warped in the Texas heat. I think the universe is trying to tell me something. Oh yeah, new Arcade Fire is suffering the same fate. Thanks Postal Service!
You know you're getting old when you're almost as excited for your new battery powered lawn mower to arrive as you are for the records you had on preorder to arrive.
Trying to debate going to see Interpol tonight. On the one hand, I've never seen them live. On the other, it's a school night and I'm already tired. Why did they have to do a Monday night show?
Took the oldest child to Mitski last night. Got a hug at the end and a thank you for taking them. So I'm not the worst thing in the world currently but the day is young. Mitski is a great performer. The line to get in was an hour long and it was cold.
