I think I caused a glitched in the Matrix today.

I do the Apple News Mini-Crossword daily. Usually I complete it in about 50 seconds. Today though, it says I did it in 1 second.

Does your kink involve whips?

Did you know the Canadian reciprocal tariffs include whips from the US, and will have a 25% tariff? (It’s true - it’s code: 6602.00.90)

I know this because that’s all I’ve been working on lately for work - tariff analysis.

I love Canada! 💙 🇨🇦

This evening I had an amazing 5-course meal at Freya, in Detroit (FreyaDetroit.com)

I definitely recommend it if you’re in the Metro Detroit area.

1) Panise
2) Parsnips
3) Mushrooms
4) Australian Lamb
5) Banana Pudding

I also enjoyed the non-alcoholic drink pairing for each course

Five straight days of writing.

Tonight’s soundtrack for our writing session: “Goodby Country (Hello Nightclub)”

In the early-early 2000’s I was part of the “club” scene. This album is not as much clubby as it is chillin’ while bouncing your head and feeling the groove.

Good morning to everyone! I hope all you writers out there have an amazingly creative and productive day!

AND…
🖕🏻to all those who voted for FOTUS. I hope your day is filled with disappointment and failure.

Writing this evening, listening to my favorite Bowie album. I needed this, an escape into my wonderland of imagination.

Also, I have listened to this album on repeat countless times over the decades of my life. With each listen, I always have that feeling like I’m hearing it for the first time.

Dear Canada,

As your neighbor, and a blue dot in Michigan, please keep being strong. I support whatever you need to do to retaliate against this country’s dictator.

I 100% support Canada! In regard to our FOTUS, I hope you fuck his shit up and force him to back down.

💙🇨🇦

Tonight’s writing session features The Breeders classic 1990 album, “Pod”

If you have not listened to The Breeders, I highly recommend starting with either this one or “Last Splash” (‘93). Both are excellent listens.

I was participating in the 7-day Amazon boycott, but then this morning I get the alert the AirPods 4 w/Active Noise Canceling were $30 off, and they could be delivered by 2p today.

Amazon knows my weaknesses.

Tonight’s writing session is inspired by the classic album, “Frenching the Bully,” by The Gits. It is one of the greatest albums from the Seattle music scene of the 90s!

$6k for shoes? The things you walk in, that get dirty and wear out after a few years? Nope.

I won’t even buy my Vans unless they drop below $65 (through a place like DSW).

I started rewatching Mythic Quest from the first season and forgot how much I love this show! What’s even funnier is Season One’s Episode Three: “Dinner Party” (aka: the Nazi episode).

For an episode that was released 5 years ago, this episode is even more relevant today!

How did Nirvana make weirdness so accessible but also stay weird?
There’s a clue in their Unplugged cover of a Meat Puppets song.
