Friday random ten: “fork you” edition

31 Jan

Yeah, ridiculously stressful week, that’s kept rolling straight through until close of business on Friday, with even more on the horizon already for next week. Who knows what the next bit of weirdness is going to be. For the moment, I’m keeping on with the work that needs done, and keeping this in mind, and […]

and it’s only two days into week two…

28 Jan

Like so many people this morning, after going to bed (way early, as I’m feeling rather awful, but not too awful, since my immune system basically works, unlike other parts of me, at fighting off elementary-school sourced respiratory virii) watching the new guy cave to Colombia’s hitting back at his bullying then claim victory, we […]

friday random elevenish – “occupational anxiety” edition

24 Jan

So, last weekend’s Marscon was a reasonably successful endeavor, with us playing a couple of good shows (even if the time slots could’ve been better), the band clicking with a great energy you really want for every show, but know really only hits occasionally.

08 Jan

As I start writing this piece in the middle of my first week back at work, I’m the *only* one in the house who’s back to work, because, for the first time in a couple of years, the RVA metro has been hit with what they call a “major” winter storm in these parts, which […]

♫ in the year twenty-five twenty-five, if man is still alive ♫

01 Jan

After a couple of five-hundred years’ displaced pop culture references, here’s my “Happy New Year” post. So it’s 2025. The lovely spouse and I stayed up until midnight, barely, chilling with friends (virtually), as another friend did an online New Years’ Eve show via Twitch. We enjoyed ourselves, and that’s really what it was all […]
