solving the world’s problems over a couple of drinks

29 Aug

For once, it was a relatively low-key weekend; I’m feeling much better after decompressing a bit after being wound up so much around the spindle of depression the last week or two. The weekend’s activities, as I said, were pretty benign and relaxing. I took my wife out for a nice dinner and some Pokemon […]

friday random eleven – “bruised arm at Magrathea” edition

26 Aug

I suspect this is kind of the usual refrain here, but this has been a rough week. I think this comes up here more often because feelings of despondence tend to trickle out through my fingers onto the interwebs. If I’m feeling good, I’m less in my head, enjyoing the moment. Anyway, I struggled a […]

friday random ten eleven: “from despondent to obvious” edition

19 Aug

It was a bit of a struggle to get here, I must say. This week’s been rough. Found myself in a bit of a down cycle on the depression continuum the last couple of days. I think I might see the way out of it, but it’s been a hard road the last 48 hours […]

friday random ten – “you mean I gotta wait until 2031?!?” edition

12 Aug

Happy Friday. You know it’s going to be thaty kind of day when the first thing you do in the office is, after checking a notification that a document’s been added to your personnel file (we’re reorganizing here, and the paperwork has finally caught up with the office code change), you start going down the […]

mediocrity personified

08 Aug

My weekend. I actually got lots of useful little projects done like pruning the wardrobe, replacing the broken handle hardware on my dresser, and doing a good deep cleaning of the fish tank. The big donation bag of clothes got me thinking of downsizing in other ways, so I spent some time looking up potential […]

friday random ten – “pop culture omnivore” edition

05 Aug

Being Friday, I shall continue my tradition of posting a random list of tunes pulled off of an interest streaming service, and offering up a short summary of my week. The tunes’ll come eventually, I promise. As for the week, it’s been less than optimal. First of all, the kitten (who’s really past two years […]

too much cheese

02 Aug

I had a long weekend. After the pretty great “Cheesy Sharknado Party, where a bunch of us just watched a bunch of silly movies and ate fondue party, I arranged to take Monday off (because we got home around midnight). It was the best call. The rest of the weekend also involved a lot of […]

friday random ten: “best of times, worst of times” edition

22 Jul

It’s been a week; it started with a pretty great anniversary date with good food and British “action transvestite” comedy, then swung back and forth between awesome and shitty: damaged cars and insurance claims (boo!), many cancelled meetings (yay!), great band rehearsals (rawk \m/ ) and less than great band rehearsals (meh.), my kid beating […]

the gig

11 Jul

So, Dimensional Riffs had our first gig on Saturday night, over at TASTE at Infusion, a neat little restaurant/bar/nightclub nestled in among the warehouses and craft breweries of Scott’s Addition. We played the small room, with a tiny little stage, opening up for Jester’s Ink, the local improv troupe seemingly inextricably melded to every member […]

friday random ten: “hot” edition

08 Jul

It’s Friday. Tradition dictates that I ramble on a bit and then present the unfiltered output of my streaming music service. Not a huge amount to report beyond what I’ve already been blathering about for the last week. The girls are gone most of the weekend for a dance competition. The boy remains gone for […]
