I've driven by this view probably 3 weekends a month for the last two years, and it often catches my eye. Finally actually pulled over and took the shot today. That's the radio tower on my alma mater's campus rising up in the background. #photography #landscape #exceptportrait

Tonight's because-it's-40-years-old-today rewatch, mostly to see if it's as ridiculous as I remember it. www.imdb.com/title/tt0089...

Headed out to see Bob Mould at the 'dise tonight; he's out with the band maybe for the first time since pre-pandemic. Maybe the least talkative I've seen him, just took the stage, tore through a blistering 90+ minute set, then "thank you Boston!" and off he went. Fantastic show as always.

As I get older, I find myself increasingly leaning towards the descriptivists and away from the prescriptivists in matters of language (with some exceptions, including being annoyed at using literally to mean figuratively and a few mispronunciations like 'nuclear' as 'nuke-you-lar'.)

Happy Beltane! (What, you were expecting some other May 1st-themed song?)

So I finally got a shot of a Glossy Ibis a few weeks back at Burrage Pond, after much unsuccessful looking last summer. Sunday I pop in at one of my usual haunts, and what do I see in the grass just off the road? Yep. Pair of Glossy Ibis. #photography #birds #wildlife #dartmouth #massachusetts

New music from The Beths in time for a lunchtime listen? Yes, please. youtu.be/YrVEgP0LkDA?...

Red-breasted Mergansers off of Gooseberry Island, including a little bit of the male showing off for the ladies. No, really, that weird extend-the-head-then-dip-the-breast thing is part of their courting ritual. Just picture the dip being accompanied by a "m'lady" or something. #photography #birds

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR) Still not all that hard. I ruled out Monty Python, Wes Anderson, Tarantino, and Spielberg, too. I could do this all day.

I spent a chunk of my weekend 3D printing the small etching press released by the Open Press Project, to give to one of my kids who is studying traditional intaglio printing (and who has access to much more serious presses at school.) 1/4 #photography #traditionalpress #linocut #openpressproject

Surprised I haven't heard of this one before. Onto the watchlist it goes.

Breakfast for dinner tonight. As a friend put it, "Frenchuguese" toast—French toast made with homemade Portuguese sweet bread. Plus bacon and some (not-pictured) fruit. #photography #cooking #food #foodphotography

Flying solo for Easter this year, but wasn't going to let that stop me from making the annual batch o' massa sovada (Portuguese sweet bread). Nice day for porch coffee. #photography #cooking #food #foodphotography #bread

New one for me: a Glossy Ibis in one of the bogs over at Burrage Pond WMA today. There was one out there last summer, but despite about 50 miles of hiking around out there I never spotted it. #photography #birds #wildlife #birdphotography #nature #masswildlife #halifax #massachusetts

You have your Easter traditions, I have mine.

Today is Thursday International Haiku Poetry Day Woo!

I'm a little disappointed that St. Vincent was a last-minute cancellation due to illness (really last minute—the stage was all set for her), but Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds put on a hell of a show tonight. Over two and a half hours counting both encores.

Muttonchops had an even lower approval rating than the Burnsides. Didn't leave myself enough margin to cut in star-burns, so just finished off the spring shearing. Bracing for breezes.

As expected, spousal tolerance for the Ambrose Burnside thing was limited. So, spring shearing continues.

Spring shearing has commenced.

Went out and patronized my local record stores for #RecordStoreDay today (not that I need the excuse). I did manage to find the one exclusive-to-RSD disc I was looking for (that Hindu Love Gods LP). Plus, good cheap stuff in the used bins as always.

I forget how much Kristin Hersh can sound like Marianne Faithfull.
