friday random elevenish: “damn it’s good to be a…” edition

30 Sep

It’s Friday…now; I spent a good bit of Thursday unable to shake the impression that it was, in fact, Friday then. It was not the best feeling. It’s been another week of a lot of the same sort of OG Herbert Kornfeld life; writing thousands of words few if anyone will read in the service […]

one of life’s easier transactions

20 Sep

As mentioned last week, the kids’ 2008 Scion xB consumed it’s own motor and has become a subcompact, boxy-yet-attractive, towable paperweight in my driveway. Work is underway to obtain some measure of value back in salvage, though it won’t be nearly what we’ve put into it over the last couple of months since we bought […]

friday random elevenish: “brevity” edition

19 Aug

First off, it didn’t suck. It was, honestly, pretty much everything I was looking for. Waiting impatiently for next week. Otherwise, not much to report for the week. Work, bike, read. Looking forward to getting together with some friends downtown on Saturday, checking out a band at the local historic theater this evening. Tunes this […]

anybody have any motivation I can borrow?

03 Aug

I seem to have lost mine. The thought of staring down over five hours of online meetings will do that, I suppose. This short, pointless post has been brought to you by…y’know? who cares?

friday random nothingness – “taking a day or two off” edition

15 Jul

It’s Friday, but you’re not getting a playlist today. I took a couple of days off, just for me, to deal with some medical appointments, and because the “vacation” I have lined up for later this month is definitely of the working variety. Go listen to your own music; I’m busy spending a good bit […]

social, and minimally political

05 Jul

As indicated in the last post, I spent a lot of time in the company of other humans this weekend. The birthday party was low-key, but attended by a bunch of people I didn’t know all that well. That said, we spent a pleasant couple of hours chatting with our elders, and watching the birthday […]

summary of active crises – june 2022

06 Jun

If one were given to wallow in cliche, absence, they say, makes the heart grow fonder. Honestly, though, based on the stats, mostly don’t think anybody much cares. Apart from a couple of playlist posts the last couple of weeks, I’ve been largely absent from this space. And if I’m absent, pretty much everybody’s absent; […]

rainy day musings on faraway politics

16 May

As I’m still fighting off this respiratory thing, I spent the weekend largely down, trying to rest and medicate this thing away. The weather cooperated with me by being largely garbage all weekend, so I wasn’t particularly tempted to push myself with outdoor exercise. I watched a couple of movies, played some Pokemon, read some […]

friday random elevenish: “feeling this duck” edition

15 Apr

Y’know, I really can’t remember a week where I was so exhausted both physically and mentally. Once again, work had me earning my raise with some long days and excessive mental processing, and given the gorgeous weather we’ve had around these parts this week, I rode off the mental by putting over 70 miles (so […]

he wants to be productive…

12 Apr

…but the obstacles, however minor, keep doing the things that obstacles do, and getting in the way of anything resembling accomplishment. I have a job; one that I’m good at, pays well, and that, under most circumstances, I don’t mind doing at all (and sometimes even enjoy), except all this administrative stuff, two hour meetings […]
