Apple Music Replay ‘25 is out. Men I Trust remains my favourite artist/band this year. I’m the Problem kind of took me by surprise because I’ve hardly been pegged as a country music fan since I was born. This album is just right. 53,794 minutes is approximately 900 hours, which appears to be a lot.

Liar @UPS is trying to delay delivery for “bad weather,” which is apparently not true. If we can go out and get groceries easily for ourselves then it’s not bad weather for you. It was “out for delivery” for a whole day until it suddenly regressed to “on the way.”

Six years in, and I still get her pricey accessories from time to time, so I have no problem sleeping with her every single night.

As my iPhone was being serviced at the Genius Bar, I got to spend some quality time with my iPod classic again. There’s a thrill in spinning 2025 tracks on a gadget from 2007. At this point, it’s actually old enough to vote.
