I’ve deleted every news source except the BBC. I have only entertainment, publishing, and sports news on my feed. I’ve asked AI to filter out any news with the word Trump in it. Ignorance may not be bliss but it will save my mental health.

Thing I learned today: a group of aardvarks is called an armory. And that totally makes sense

Anyone remember the show Tales of the Gold Monkey?

Yes that was me singing The Dandy Warhols song “Bohemian Rhapsody “ at the top of my lungs, with all the windows down, and air drumming at a stoplight. You’re welcome.

I just spent fifteen minutes looking for my favorite writing pen only to sit down heavily in frustration and then have the pen fall from behind my ear. Aaaaghhh

Forgot to put the coffee mug under the Keurig tap. I can see what kind of day it’s going to be.

Sneezed and threw my back out. Also now realizing that my vacuum cleaner isn’t doing a very good job on this floor.

I’ve listened to 45 new album releases for 2024, and there have been some stellar releases. Will do a 3 month list of bests (so far) soon.

First great album of 2024 is “Hell, Fire and Damnation” by Saxon. These heavy metal titans just get better with age! #music #metal #2024

Had a very rough writing day. But I persevered and finished the chapter. Now I’m celebrating this little victory with the album “Briefcase Full of Blues” by the Blues Brothers blasting and drinking a nice cold beer. #writing #music

RIP suit actor & stuntman Kenpachiro Satsuma. He played Hedorah and Gigan in the Shōwa era and Godzilla himself throughout the Heisei era.

Bought my first bass guitar today. Apparently I didn’t take to it with the immediacy or genius of Mozart to a harpsichord, so I guess I’ll have to learn to play… #bassguitar #music

RIP Norman Lear who dared to put a thriving, confident transgender woman on TV in 1977. Edie Stokes (played by the cis actress Veronica Redd) served in the Navy with George Jefferson before coming out and transitioning. Her positive portrayal was unparalleled at the time. youtu.be/jNSWrJZ5Mjk?...
