FALAFⒺL SⒶNDWHICH

He wouldn't shut up about Goo Goo Dolls (this is pre-huge MTV band era) but I was like, nah. Had I heard the first two records I probably would have aligned. Those are actually very good IMO, on the Mpls Replacements/Hüsker Dü/Soul Asylum (punk days) tip. They were probably Buffalo's Replacements

I had an itch on my calf and when I raised my leg to scratch it my hip cramped up on me lol. A small moment of panic, otherwise I locked in for the duration. Presently at home icing with the Tennis Channel on

And if you thought that I'm not doing all of the Anacondas and Lake Placid films in chronological order (including the crossover and post-crossover) then like Halford says, you got another thing comin'

Also, to the dudes that felt the wrath of my old man basketball elbows, sorry//not sorry. I'm a veteran of this shit; you try to crowd kill me you're gonna feel it

Gawd, what it must be like to wear cool footwear without consequence. I can *almost* remember it

Lotta people trying to pretend like they didn't see this

One of my coworkers wore a jacket with a screenprinted logo of a very prominent Big Four thrash metal band on the back. Another wore an animal print skirt and a denim jacket decorated with an abundance of rhinestones It might interest you to know that two mentioned above are a couple

Oh wow Aaron Cometbus is a literal grandpa now. Still bleaching his hair though. We should all be so lucky

When the score was 9-11 I go, "never forget" and everyone laughed. Then someone said, "we were all thinking it but you had to *actually* say it." I pointed out that thoughts don't get the laughs. Also, in error I called a person named Shannon by the name Janet, which earned me the opposite of laughs

I reported a MAGA guy for harassing me on IG, and they said the same thing, "found no evidence of harassment", etc. Dude has literally called me a f*ggot, other slurs, and talked about butt f*cking my mom on several of my posts. Come on! It's time to cut ourselves off from Meta. Like all the way off

Also, Alex Cline and Glenn Kotche did a semi-pretentious chef's kiss noisy drummer duet that sounded like someone biting down on a fork while walking through a beaded doorway at an Alice Coltrane meditation retreat. Maybe my favorite part of the show. Recommended

And yes, I intentionally jammed "free" and "jazz" together in an attempt to thwart what would surely be an onslaught of dad jokes

Forgot to mention, was also very distracted by several bird calls. Definitely a few hawks and blue jays but also a pileated woodpecker, which, hey, that's pretty cool, we don't often see them in the city, but an unfortunate expense coming up for whoever's yard that tree is in
