They were calling for snow today and the Governor of VA was on the news last night giving some speech like... "Virginians are resilient, we will get through this..." Dude, it's just a foot of snow, we don't need Morgan Freeman's speech from "Deep Impact", for fuck's sake.

There are few things I hate more than reaching the last paragraph of a long and complicated email I've been putting off writing, only to hear the *ping* of another incoming email arrive before I get a chance to click "send" 📨

Just listened to an album I thought I used to really like in the early 00s, and I didn't really enjoy it very much... then I realized the one I really liked was the other one. Welcome to my impending dementia.

Vanity and ambition are fine... go to Mars, be the first. Good job. Build a permanent science base with your name on it. The "colonizing" angle is just silly though.

Band has a gig tomorrow night. I don't understand people who go to bars the day before #Thanksgiving, but apparently it's a thing? The crowd was nuts here a few weekends ago. All signs point to an absolute banger of a show...

Bald, puffy, slack-jawed dude walked by me today and I was all alone, so I had to say out loud to nobody in particular... "More like 'Vin RegularUnleaded'..."
