…different week. Work hassles, crap weather. Wrote a few songs though. For the weekend? Delay-blast birthday celebration for the lovely spouse. Laundry. This week’s tunes? Much alternative. “Motorcrash” – The Sugarcubes “Starry Eyes” – The Records “Just Like Heaven” – The Cure “The Greatest” – SASAMI “Do Me A Favour” – Field Music “Sabbath Bloody […]
For what will be my fifth year running, I’ll be once again participating in February Album Writing Month, a semi-organized exercise in creativity, taking on the challenge of writing 14 songs in 28 days. In past years, I’ve always hit at least fourteen tunes, with usually at least a few winners – last year, I […]
On Wednesday evening, I was driving my lovely spouse and youngest child back from a recreational activity involving frozen water, and my head started throbbing. Started in the sinuses, and progressed from there; lights of oncoming cars appearing extra intense, noise starting to bother me, all that crap. We made it home, I took my […]
For the second time in as many weeks, my region of the country is sliding into the weekend with an allegedly significant weather event. Yesterday was rain and snow that mostly amounted to nothing but what’ll prove to be slick roads today as it’s probably not going to break above freezing all day. Tonight they’re […]

Y’know, the usual. […]
this image is what I need, not how I’m feeling For the first week back to the grind after a holiday break that wasn’t particularly awesome, thanks to all kinds of external factors, it was, at best, not ideal, and otherwise, kind of a shit show. Work, frankly, sucked, mostly because a few external entities […]
Yep, Amy and Emily singing Joni captures holiday depression pretty damned well. Gonna be totally honest, I’m not at all feeling the holiday season this year. We’re damned near into the third year of this pandemic, mostly because selfish assholes gonna asshole, I lost a dear, dear friend a week ago whose passing I’m still […]
So, today’s my last day of work in 2021. The last couple of weeks have been busy with lining everything up for a two week break, but yesterday afternoon I successfully pushed the last bit of virtual paper off my virtual desk that needed pushed, and I’m looking forward to today largely being an exercise […]
As I type this, I’m a little more than twelve hours out from getting my booster shot. Moderna this time, as, while it doesn’t really matter with the mRNA varieties, there’s some evidence that that the Pfizer-Moderna combo provides a bit more protection, and I figured I’d cover all the bases. In terms of side […]
