friday random elevenish: “attractive to teenage boys” edition
So it’s been a quiet a couple of weeks in terms of posting missives here that no one reads anyway. It happens.
I’ve honestly been mostly working too much and neglecting much of the rest of life, at least until I got to the end of June and it’s big work product deadlines, then I took a long Independence Day weekend, spending some time with friends, catching a show, and trying to remember how life works when twelve- or thirteen- hour days aren’t the norm.
Less quiet this morning, as I woke to dripping ceiling in the hallway after someone overflowed the upstairs toilet. Joy.
Oh, and for the second time in a month, a teenage boy hit my newish car. The last one was relatively minor, as, I suppose is this one, but involves replacing the headlight assembly and front bumper cover he drug the passenger side of his late-model BMW across. Seriously, he peeled holes in the plastic of the bumper cover, which is at least unique, and does a pretty good job of showing who was moving and which direction he was going. The insurance people are still figuring it out, though in the end I think it’ll work out in my favor and I’ll get my deductible back.
I’m becoming way too much of a regular customer at the body shop, where we just picked up the little yellow Honda after the door thing.
Yay.
Seriously, I need to figure out what makes me so attractive to teenage boys.
Anyway, that’s all I got; I’m playing the boss this week and I’m tired of answering all kinds of emails that are getting in the way of me doing my own work.
But yeah, tunes: extra nineties triple-A radio, or at least sounding like it, plus Stevie Nicks covering Buffalo Springfield followed immediately by The Cranberries covering Fleetwood Mac in a nice circle there at #s 6 and 7, and a pretty damned perfect fusion of Cash and Zep at #10 I didn’t know I needed in my life:

- “Moment in the Sun” – Clem Snide
