My brain wants to go to the gym but my body objects after another 10 hr day of installing cabinets.

My heart wants to play music and no part of me objects so up to the Nerd Palace it is.

I'm in Switzerland watching some nerds build scale models of whole cities on TV. They're speaking German which I only have a very light grasp of. I turned up the volume by habit. Turns out, it being louder doesn't help you understand a language you don't know. I'm an idiot.

Ya know. Just hanging out having some Pinot Grigio and crying a little while listening to Michelle Obama speak at the #DNC.

Damn.

"There is something about music that keeps its distance even at the moment that it engulfs us. It is at the same time outside and away from us and inside and part of us. In one sense it dwarfs us, and in another we master it. We are led on and on, and yet in some strange way we never lose control."

I think my spaceship knows which way to go.

I'm in a band with people I love and I build cabinetry and furniture with people I love. Those are my two "jobs."

I am lucky as fuck.

Do what you love if you can, and sometime, even when you can't.

@danpfeiffer.bsky.social hitting the nail on the head, as usual.

The Message Box is such a great read.

I've been switching back and forth tonight between listening to NOFX and listening to a podcast about the "Supreme" Court ( Shout out to @strictscrutiny.bsky.social <3 ya. )

It's a weird pair, but right now, somehow it works.

Love and miss ya, D.C.

NASA is about to launch two CURRENTLY LIVING astronauts to the Space station in a Boeing capsule.

I feel like this is a good time to say this... Godspeed.

I don't wanna be left out so here's my unoriginal but very true take:

Alito is a dick. And not in a cool way.

Playing some shows in Asia.

I just ate worms, grasshoppers, and grubs for the first time, because why the fuck would I travel the whole way across the world and not fucking go for it.

Spoiler alert. They were pretty good.
