All while I was walking on a sidewalk that was adjacent to a bike lane, mostly Columbia Rd. NW.

Moderately OK, buy only if they're listening to go-go and not hitting me because they're riding recklessly the sidewalk. I've been hit 3 times by assholes on scooters with a lot more close calls. Luckily, no significant injuries yet, just some bruises, but what the fuck? I'm walking here.

I can't differentiate between left and right without doing the hand thing. I'm far better with East vs. West vs. North vs. South. I love maps so much. Some brains are just like that.

Listen to the folks at the start of this Propagandhi-adjacent music video. They're speaking a dialect that verges on being a different language. youtu.be/u75nHvSvxO8?...

Unsure I've ever pronounced Propagandhi correctly. Ever heard a person from Winnipeg? It's wild.

I have done this more than once. Concussions always are unpleasant. Sorry, dog. I don't have any advice other than to give yourself some time for rest.

CRJ is probably the best Canadian pick, but the most Canadian pick is The Tragically Hip. They love(d) The Trag so much up there.

That's a whole lot of "of its time" combined with people who are/were just very good.

I bet they have amazing suggestions as how to best combine jell-o and miracle whip

Salad recipes from old cookbooks are so often just an amazing adventure.

I've said more than I should about Public Enemy, but my opinion about Public Enemy is that I fucking love Public Enemy.

I love how much Fugazi and Public Enemy loved each other's music and were clear about the influence. Both were amazing. Never saw Fugazi, but know members and have seen them play in various contexts many times. Saw PE play on a truck driving around in like 2009. It was weird.

Alas, as a person who used to work as an engineer in the very niche of the home appliance industry where I could provide some insider info, as NDAs have expired: no.

Guys who will really open up while drinking Utica Club Light and listening to Bob Seger in a wood-paneled dark room

I know very little about wrestling, but I love every part about it that is just some dudes who are probably from Wisconsin or some place in Pennsylvania, like Clarks Summit or some shit, and are just guys with a job.

Maps also happens to be a wonderful song. I love Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs too.

I came in 11th in the NY state geography bee without studying beyond I just loved maps. The other kids were no less neurodivergent, but NY academic competitions are dominated by downstate private school kids with well-paid coaches.

I love maps so much. They're all so cool. That's my most particular special thing. I love every map and just stare at them.

As a map-obsessed former geography bee champion, I don't get this. It's just gotten easier to look at maps. I still could probably mostly drive around Argentina. I'd be thrown off by the sun being backwards and everything being upside down because of the Southern hemisphere, but I'd manage.

I've been into DJ Screw since before I'd heard Fugazi. They're both great. Love that they are both distinctly from a place.

Fucking YouTube leads me back to Fugazi. It's not the time, dog. Fugazi want to listen to DJ Screw at 2 am.

Update: listening to Neu has transitioned to listening to DJ Screw. This is closer to sleep music, but not quite Eno yet.

It's fucking hard to dance in size 14 boots when yr foot is OK; let alone if it is so fucked up, a podiatrist made fun of it for being enormous and weird.
comment in response to
post
I've aged out of dancing in contexts where I can be seen. I was never good, but I could hang in various d'n'b/house/punk/techno/hardcore/square contexts. My knee and foot are far too fucked up to overcome my general whiteness and foot-largeness nowadays.

Feels like stolen valor. I'm not from Ohio. I love Ohio. I've vacationed in NE Ohio 5 times. I'm a huge fan of Dayton Funk. But I say soda because I'm from Syracuse, NY.

A truly impressive asshat. Been gaslighting me for years.

Love this perspective that spreadsheets aren't work, they're relaxation.

Just realized that my sensitivity to this is that my sister is moving today. She has a whole-ass moving crew who are already done and 3 family members to help, but also a 3-year-old, a dead husband, and a bunch of boxes.

"Festival people" are distinctly not interested in music. It's so much weirder and more boring.

That'd be so cool.

A coma is a weird thing. Sometimes it's just that you don't understand how to walk, but it's weirder that you don't understand the NCAA Basketball Tournament.

This sounds like a guy I went to school with who is about to drunkenly tell me about The Dropkick Murphys and the potato famine.

Then there was my dad's uncle's dog. He was like the troop mascot dog in Korea. My grandma/greatgrandma got notice that he had a package to pick-up, expecting him to be back soon. They went to the post office and it was a dog. Everyone must have been so confused, human and dog alike.

My grandpa moved once, down the block, when they got married. Although, in between, he went to basic training in GA, then HI, then to China; for WW2 reasons. He lived on one block in Syracuse his whole life except when flying over the Himalayas in unpressurized planes that were being shot at.

I'm rarely more jealous of anyone more than I am of my grandma, she never moved. She moved between floors of the house, but never had to like find a place or rent a u-haul.

Mainly, my nephew thought a weird thing about Sesame Street that was funny.

Cool. I don't get the specifics but generally respect it.
comment in response to

Is this a Sesame Street thing? Today, I learned that my nephew believes that Elmo is real, but the bear isn't. It's Ernie in a bear costume.

Enya is great. Has someone said she isn't? I'm not going to fight that person, but I'll disagree.
