I love to watch TV. I also love music and reading.

Trying not yuck other people's yum. We all should.

Please don't repost my skeets. If you give me the wrong vibes, I'm blocking you

ABC "How To Be A Millionaire"

ABC leaned more into sophistopop, but they were capable of some really fun stuff, too. I've always loved this one. It even has a fun video.

I'm going to have to rewatch Survivor S49E8 because I made the foolish mistake of laying down on the couch. This led me to fall asleep ⅔ into it. Trying to avoid spoilers. Thankfully I woke up right when TAR started.

Echo and the Bunnymen "Bring On The Dancing Horses"

Yesterday was the 40th anniversary release day of the compilation "Song to Learn and Sing". I bought the record. I learned them. I sang them.

It's so cool that so many people were able to see the northern lights last night here in North America. I grew up seeing them semi-regularly, so I'm glad others got to see their wonder.

I'm late to the Brilliant Minds party, but I'm really liking this show. Still working my way through S1. Zachary and Teddy have such good chemistry. I'm glad that they were paired together again

Holly is the villain. Aaron called her out on it before he moved away. She was a monster as a teen. A monster while using Krista for funding a year of partying. A monster while seducing that killer. Neighbours would be better with her being all out evil

My colleague just said that it's spelled WIMZY and should qualify in Wordle. I was chastised as being mean for pointing out it's spelled WHIMSY because she's sensitive. She also only spells it as YOUR and THERE for all those variations.

Now Wow Wow "I Want Candy"

This song seemed to be everywhere for a while in my teen years. Some of my crew were really into the band, I just liked this one song

Nothing indicates to me more that I need to go in vacation more than have two days of failing at this, then coming back with this. Guess I'm dumb now

No, dear colleague, describing an issue as not having a show be available for viewing is not an accurate description of the issue of the TV turned off.

Why do people opt to be unclear and make everything so challenging? Ugh. It's barely 9:00am on Monday morning

🇨🇦Platinum Blonde "Doesn't Really Matter"

The way that this lyric speaks the truth so loudly to me. Surround yourself with genuine people
"And if you were to ask me questions
You don't really want to know
Your concern is just for show"

Less than two weeks before a holiday with old friends. Looking forward to hanging out and doing as little as possible.

Bonus track
Alison Moyet "Invisible"

While her solo career was more pop, her first album did sit in the New Wave space.

Fun fact: She refuses to perform this song as she can't advocate for young women to let men walk over themselves. Alison's a fucking hero

Yazoo "Don't Go"

The way my friends and I would all hit the dancefloor at teen dances in the 80s when this song was played 🥰 Yazoo may have only out our two albums, but they made them as perfect as albums get

🇨🇦 Chalk Circle "April Fool"

We had a healthy music scene here back in the day, and this is one of my faves. I thought the video was shot somewhere in the East Coast, but that's Toronto's Sunnyside Pavilion on Lake Ontario

The Violent Femmes "Blister in the Sun"

I love ruining this song for people that don't understand what it's about. It's healthy and everyone should do it.

"Big hands I know you're the one"
"I stain my sheets"

"Mad World" Years For Fears

My high school friend group seemed to be the first to come across The Hurting, and it felt so special to us. It was like the band were speaking directly to us in our little northern Ontario town

I ate the Wunderbar. It's been a long time since I've had one. It was fucking amazing 😍
I may or may not have started to tear up because my colleague gave me a full sized Wunderbar that her kid didn't want from trick-or-treating 🥹
