friday random elevenish: “fool me once…” edition
It was a week. Not much more, not much less. I honestly don’t remember much of it…between work, exercise, eating something or other, getting this tune stuck in my head thanks to the ice skating class across the way, the entertainment highlight that was Moon Knight, struggling with the dense text of the novel I’m reading, and sleeping generally like crap, it just sort of passed by.
Maybe that description is a little facetious, but I don’t care.
Today, it seems, is April Fool’s Day, which I’m mostly going to kind of ignore; so much of the world’s a big joke now anyway, and ThinkGeek doesn’t exist anymore.
A trip to a friend’s birthday party on deck for the weekend, and whatever else gets done.
As for tunes, back to Spotify weekly discovery (though it’s BandCamp Friday, so if you buy my stuff, I get an extra ten cents or so per dollar!), and it’s full of interesting covers (including Jason Isbell’s execellent cover of my favorite REM song), and a generally mellow vibe overall, which, frankly, is fine with me.
