We had a contractor in the house today. The cats did what they always do when there are new people around… they hid. Lily has been hiding in a closet all day. Robin came into the office with me and hung out rather than finding an actual hiding place. I guess she thought that I would protect her. I would have, if need be. Of course I would have.
Yup… that’s where my brain lives right now. Here’s a cat pic to try and calm us all down………
Hip Hip Hooray, folks. Yippee Skippee.
Our huge kitchen remodel project completed one year and one day ago.
We’ve had three, count ’em three, problems with the new kitchen in the last couple of weeks. Two in the last two days. Today’s involves an appliance.
Are you fucking kidding me? One year? I’ve heard of planned obsolescence and shit, but one year?
I think Lily and Robin are ready for bed. Well… they are ready for us to go to bed so they can be super disruptive as we try to sleep. That seems likely.
We took our new pre-fab comfy chairs for a spin today. Which chair is Archie’s and which is Edith’s? I don’t remember.
I was really hoping for this… 90’s alternative rock nerd boy just scored two tickets to see Belly in October. Now I just need Throwing Muses to announce North American shows and my 2025 musical life will be complete. I want to see both halves of Throwing Muses this year.
I did not see Belly when they were together in the 90’s and I did not see them when they got back together a few years ago and I did not see them when they played in my freakin’ back yard (Lowell, MA) last year. This will correct this gross oversite on my musical obsession bingo card. I saw Tanya Donelly shortly after Belly split, and once more years later with Jen, and once with Throwing Muses back in 1989, but I’ve never seen Belly.
I’m trying to remember all of the Muses related shows I’ve seen…
Damn… that list is a whole lot shorter than I thought it would be. I’m pretty sure that’s it though. Hopefully this year we’ll be adding two more shows to it. Hopefully… if Throwing Muses would just announce a nice Boston show to go along with their already announced European shows.
Happy concert tickets day, everyone.
Work is crazy, the united (fascist) states of america is collapsing…
I need a music project to distract myself from everything. I think I am going to do the Record Every Month thing again. That’s the year ’round RPM Challenge spin off where you just write and record one song each month. I usually bump that up to two songs each month. That way I can pretend I’m releasing a single like it’s 1964 or something.
I just want to have an excuse to not think about reality for a few minutes at a time. Living in the (nazi) united states of america these days really blows. I just want to pretend it’s not happening, if you know what I mean. Living in Massachusetts is still okay if we just ignore the federal government.
So yeah… a year long music project. I’m in.
The work day isn’t even an hour old yet and already my day is insanely busy. What’s up with that?
I haven’t had time, energy, or desire to read about the orange nazi goo’s speech from last night. I’m sure that every word was a lie so who gives a flying fuck what he said. I’m more interested in the Democrat’s reaction, which I am sure was lame and ineffectual. I wish I was being sarcastic, but I am not.
Anyway, here’s a couple of cat pics from earlier this morning to help start your day.
The bed is in the same place. Pretty much everything else is different.
The cushions on the new chairs will need a couple of days to finish expanding, but they’ve come a long way in about two hours since I sliced open the vacuum sealed package they shipped in.
One cat shows tentative approval. The other is hiding in terror, though she was all over the new chairs as I was putting them together. The rug was just too much for her tender little soul though.
The mirror is kinda my crowning achievement. The two paintings behind the bed were a nightmare to hang and will forever feel like the bane of my existence.

The bonanza of pre-fab furniture continues. It also distracts us from the fall of western civilization.
