friday random elevenish: “exhausting drama” edition
In addition to all kinds of excessive drama I’m not really getting into except to say that it’s very tiring, the regular stuff I tend to deal with has been particularly mentally exhausting. I’ve got a ton of work projects in various states of done; waiting for input from others or for continuing resolutions to sort themselves out (check the political headlines; that’ll give you an idea about certain aspects of my job are going – in short, if Senators are putting on dominance displays, it isn’t a good week), or dealing with various other pieces of minutia that simply won’t line up.
I’ve been braining way too hard this week, and haven’t really found a good outlet for turning it off.
At least I’m staring down the barrel of a long weekend, and honestly not much at all planned for it. I think I’m going to keep it that way.
Talking tunes, the Spotify algorithms are all over the place, spanning half a decade across genres and running the gamut from top ten hits to obscure deep cuts. Not really a bad mirror of my background brain cycles. Sure:
- “Dancing With Myself” – Billy Idol
- “Shake Some Action” – Flaming Grooves
- “Touch Me” – The Doors
- “I’d Love to Change The World” – Ten Years After
- “Plowed” – Sponge
- “Tusk” – Fleetwood Mac
- “Dream All Day” – The Posies
- “I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man” – Prince
- “The One Thing” – INXS
- “Mission of Mercy” – The Motels
- “Evangeline” – Matthew Sweet
- “She Got Me (When She Got Her Dress On)” – Masters of Reality
- “The New World” – X
- “Vanishing Girl” – The Dukes of the Stratosphear
