New Pedal Day

All the tone of a fulltone ocd with none of the racist bullshit.

This is the boutiquiest thing I’ve ever been a part of. Malaise Forever is a guy in Columbus (go Blue Jackets) who builds pedals. In this case, the order was placed before the pedal was built. Does that mean it was made to order? Probably not, but let’s pretend, yeah?

A piece of the profit from the sale of this pedal was given to organizations fighting for racial justice and to protect civil liberties.

Go buy something from this guy. If there ever was a pedal builder deserving support it’s Malaise Forever.

4th Overtime, Still Going

3:20 left in the 4th overtime period. Tampa Bay has taken 84 shots on goal.

It’s a weird combination of players being overly cautious, players trying to win the game all by themselves, and everyone being too tired to function at 100%.

Less than two minutes left now. It’s probably going to end on a total bonehead move.

Back to School?

This just popped up in my iPhone’s news widget. We’ve spent a lot of time over the last few days stressing over back to school. The entire discussion is insulting. If the pandemic was bad enough to shut down schools in March, how is it not bad enough to stop a re-open in August? It’s absurd. The situation would need to be better now than it was in March and it is most definitely not better. It is worse. So very much worse. FIVE MILLION infections worse.

To quote the great Will Ferrell in Zoolander, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

I Solemnly Swear

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good… at my parents house at 1:37am.

It’s dad this time. Back pain. Bad enough to go to the ER. The going theory is kidney stones. I’m hanging out with my mother. I’m in the dining room pretending to write song lyrics. She’s in the living room watching reruns of Married with Children. It’s going on 2:00am and she’s wide awake.
