friday random elevenish: “coasting into the weekend, I hope” edition
The feelings inherent in yesterday’s post persisted throughout the day, though at least a few of us got to laugh a bit during the last meeting of a busy ten hour day; sure at least some of it waslaugh(ing) to keep from crying, but it was still laughing, which I guess is, if not a win, not a loss.
After work, I got my bare minimum fitness time in, because it was cold, and also because the sun was setting an hour after I logged off (never mind I started working at 5am). Still, it was nice to be outside and not looking at a screen. Of course, when I stopped by the grocery store bar, which was supposed to have a nice smoked bock on, their CO2 system was borked, so there was no beer. Damn.
After that, I came home, scavenged something from the meager pickings in the kitchen, checked my email (and found that I won some tickets to a Suzanne Vega show in April, more than earning back my annual wnrn donation), started and soon aborted a couple of CIV VI sessions, then climbed into bed with a book around 7pm, and had my lovely spouse wake me up and tell me to take the book off my face and turn off the light at around 7:45.
Today will likely be a short day as I started within spitting distance of my 40 and my bosses are all off, and I have no meetings scheduled, though I am their out-of-office contact, so if things go crazy somewhere, I’m on the hook. I hope things don’t go crazy.
After that, and through the weekend, I currently have nothing scheduled, which is welcome. If my spoons hold out, I should probably start making sure I remember how to play some music for the shows next weekend, huh?
Anyway; here are some tunes scattered all over the map (but mostly kinda cool) which is kind of appropriate:
- “Felicidade” – Jason Vieaux
- “This Time It’s Different” – Heart Bones
- “Right Moves” – Josh Ritter
- “Persephone” – Allison Russell
- “Wires and Waves” – Rilo Kiley
- “Oh Boredom (Schmaltz City, USA)” – Star Parks
- “Drown” – The Smashing Pumpkins
- “Not Dead Yet” – Lord Huron
- “Linger” – Lake Street Dive
- “All My Love Is Coming Back To Me” – S.G. Goodman
- “Strange Girl” – Laura Marling
- “Papaya” – Twisted Pine
- “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” – Waxahatchee
