A day late, but was glad to still find Morphine’s “Bootleg Detroit” at the local record store. Also found the 20th anniversary release of So Jealous by Tegan and Sara.

This got me. That second picture is gold.
Not mine. But, if you're a fan of I Think You Should Leave.

The Rose Bowl is playing R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion” heading to commercial!

If you enjoy college football, tune in to the end of the Illini game. Coach Bielema is playing a masterful game of annoying the South Carolina coach to get in his head.
Bielema taunts Beamer

Feeling like a grinch because we have few signs of Christmas left in our house. Yesterday evening, we had a hurried takedown of the tree after we discovered a cat had crunched on several light bulbs and bitten through a wire (putting out half the lights)

Just finished reading “Death of the Author” by @nnedi.bsky.social . It’s amazing. Unlike anything I’ve read in a long time. Part family novel, part sci-fi. Told as a story within a story. I dare not say more as I don’t want to spoil anything. Buy it or get it from your local library on Jan 14!

In the last few days, I’ve succeeded in getting both our 10-year old girl and 13-year old girl hooked on Stardew Valley.

When you ask a 12 year old where they want to go shopping for Secret Santa gifts, they’re gonna say Five Below.

Disappointed that both Illinois Women’s Basketball games this week are on some crappy streaming service called BallerTV. I’m not paying $45 to watch two games.

Revisiting The Lucksmiths today. I remember now why I got obsessed in the early 2000s and paid good money to import the albums I couldn’t find in the US.

Two weeks later. I’ve found Jon Stewart’s analysis is one that resonates most. It boils down to two approaches to governing. “Republicans exploit the loopholes. Democrats complain about the norms.” Summary & video: amp.theguardian.com/culture/2024...

Stardew Valley picked the perfect time to release version 1.6 on iOS (and elsewhere). Rediscovering my abandoned farm is a calming experience
