whatever, screw it. I’ve got some savings tucked away, so let the devil take it. 😬 same as everyone else, honestly.
anyway, it was nasty. looked like my apartment was literally gonna split in two and I already said my goodbyes to the world. 🙄 🤦

since I actually survived, I told myself, alright kid, you’re fine—from here on out, you're officially not some damn James Bond secret agent😁 #thanksNYC : rosy: <3

heyooo, blood oranges😍 we just polished off our last stash of Stella liqueur. total crisis. 😬

Jamie Davis9 said:goddammit, how much more of this?!
A wall in my apartment just split open. I'm seriously freaking out and still can't catch my breath.

damn, that sounded rough even for us further out, I can only imagine what it was like downtown. hope the wall didn't take too much structural damage. hang in there! 🙂

this too shall pass, just gotta keep a cool head. 🙂

Sure thing, always 🙂

yeah, allergy season is just starting to peak.

Everything’s gone haywire this year (at least where I am) — I was out longer yesterday because of the pollen, and everything is blooming at once. Stuff that should have finished is still going, and stuff that shouldn't even be out yet is already popping up. It's insane.

Jamie Davis9 said:I believe you. 😁 Everyone’s on edge, and this whole isolation thing can be a real mess.
Looking at my students, you'd think they'd be dying for summer break, but they keep reaching out asking what they need to study or write, just trying to cling to some sense of normalcy and routine.

And honestly, most of them couldn't care less.

we'll get through it, we've survived worse, so we'll survive this too...

Exactly!

besides, Camus didn't just write The Plague right after The Stranger on a whim. since we all had to read 😛 in school, we know The Plague is basically an anthem for human solidarity and resistance. 🧐 😁

They talked about The Plague, but it wasn't required reading (back in my day 🧐). you really see what human solidarity looks like when you're hit by a massive allergy attack. 🙂 hope nobody knocks you out with something heavy.

and that's precisely why you gotta celebrate life at every single chance you get, right?

hehe, oh yeah, totally 😁

love Saturdays 😁

Tried quoting you guys, but the site glitched and pulled everything from my last post too, so I just nuked it. 😬 She’s got killer taste in Muse!

José González was my go-to this morning. 🙂 And all this talk about the apocalypse?! We’ve got issues right here—maybe calm down, think about the most vulnerable people out there, and actually be socially responsible for once. Don't panic (D.A.). 😉

I got that second album (the one with satellite) in my car, so I guess it works—at least when I was picking what to put on that thumb drive, it hit the spot. But you know me—I don't feel like I have the right to give a quality rating. 😉 There isn't much to choose from, just start with the first one and go from there.

hehe, I love them; finally made it to a concert over a year ago. : poop emoji :

for a split second I was wondering what was so great about it—is it a Heliocentrics album cover?! 🤣 yeah, summation is everything now, there's this psychedelic saffron carpet vibe... would be wild to experience that from, say, a cat's perspective?! 🙂

can you listen to them anytime (regardless of which era)?!

NP: JJ Cale. Been looping his albums lately, perfect background noise while I read and write this stuff I'm working on... Along with that world music I linked in the playlists. Still exploring the Bay, though I've already realized the quality is top-tier 👍

great for driving (I rarely drive, and usually only when I'm not in a rush 😬).

I don't even know where to start with this one... just total nonsense. kaže:

I'm just as big on funk as I am on new age. At the end of the day, it's the melody that carries the whole thing... regardless of the rhythm.

Haha, I'm stealing Drew Lewis2's take: rhythm > melody... 😁

The saffron finally hit my forest too... 🙂

Steven Newman50 said:Live... They were even better... 🙂

Sweet, sounds good! Let me know when the next one hits so I can give the folks over in Columbus a heads-up. It's not like they're driving halfway across the country to get there...

nice, sounds like you're living on our sunny hills - already got lambs and maybe some saffron there (not in my mini Siberia yet).
