I’ll Be Waiting Down The Line

Earworm: The Cardigans – Never Recover
Now Playing: Alva Noto’s “For”

We got our backyard porch awning set up… played a little banjo out there to Teencat, who sat and listened very patiently.

I’ve been having a good time listening to more music again. Right now it’s some old nostalgic stuff, some new old noise, and a bunch of albums from bands/artists I’ve never sat and listened thru to. Today I saw Steve Albini make some joke about the Afghan Whigs and I said… okay it’s on. Pretty good!

Went to a decent show last night at PDM, a couple touring hardcore bands from Springfield who killed it, plus a new act with poppy punk stuff (always fun to see) and closed out by a local kid playing improv doom metal (totally slapped) – really happy for the kid, who apparently told the dude who runs the venue “wow, I didn’t know there were places like this around here”. Welcome to Out Here, kid!

It’s been nice drinking a little recently, but we’re gonna start the Whole30 again soon and I am attempting to prepare myself for that snap back. Not like not drinking is gonna be weird itself (though I’m sure there’ll be times I might like to) just all that food anxiety coming back. I’m really gonna try to nail down some good kitchen skills – I should have the knife sharpened! I gotta message someone for that.
But no, the recipes I’ve been looking at are pretty exciting.

Oh! And I got reached out to by “HR” about a job I’ve had my eye on for a while… total entry level shit but I’m kind of psyched on that. God willing it’ll pay more than minimum and maybe I can buy some new clothes.
