A co-op has been in the works in my town for the last few years and it’s finally about to open. I can’t wait

Shit that looks so good. Now I need Pho

I love this! The detail of the gap in her teeth through her lips is great.

Left 4 dead 1&2, Halo 1-3 + Reach. Man I miss co op games with friends on split screen. Do modern games even have split screen options outside of Nintendo titles?

Yeah I feel that. There’s also ads in it and they don’t even follow some of the traditional ad breaks through the episodes

Oh I love to perambulate, sitting still is what I really hate

If you’re looking for a quick fix to watch the Drew Carey show, the whole series is free to watch on Plex right now. But who knows how long that will last

Try some Yoga. It can be a decent workout and will definitely help with posture, soreness and flexibility if you stick with it. Check out some beginner yoga routines on YouTube to see if it’s something you would be into.

I read Jeff Tweedy’s book on songwriting and he talked about borrowing themes from anything and every thing. Like that chord progression? Use it. Interesting cadence or rhythm? Borrow it. It’s not really copying, but more so taking inspiration from other works. It’s always good to keep your ears open to try to find things in the world that resonate with you. I often sit in my back yard and listen to the birds sing and imagine what a bird song would sound like applied to something on guitar or lyrical cadence.

Gaffigan as Walz is a perfect fit

My wife and I have been watching movies neither of us have seen. This week it has been:

• Moonstruck
• The Birdcage
• Call me by Your Name
• I Saw the TV Glow

I can’t say I have any peers that say music use to be better. I hardly find music to be stagnant now, hell a lot of the recent pop music has had some things that have resonated with me and I’m a dude in my 30s. The thing is you can’t let yourself stagnate. I am a music lover who is always looking for something new and different. With the internet and recording being so accessible there are more artists being able to put their work out there than ever. Even then, I am still going back to music of my youth and still enjoying most of it. My parent’s music was never went away- I’m digging even deeper into their record crates and finding the stuff they weren’t quite fond of and finding a lot of things I enjoy. Open your ears, the birds are singing and bells are ringing. You just have to go to the woods or the town square to hear them some times.

I feel your pain. I found fossil’s first gen hybrid smart watch on a clearance rack for $40 and made an impulse purchase. I loved it! It was a totally analog watch face but it would vibrate when I got a notification on my phone. I could set it to go to different hand movements when certain contacts messaged me. I loved that I could control my music to pause, skip songs and change volume on my wrists rather than dig in my pocket for my phone. It ran on a regular watch battery and when it eventually died I went to replace the battery it never came back to life.

I listen to so many different kinds of music so it is hard to nail down a favorite. Instead I’ll give you the most recent artist I saw live-Jazz guitarist Julian Lage. I saw his trio in Chicago last night and it was an unreal experience with how tight the group was. Truly masters of their craft. Here is one of my favorite tracks of his “Tributary”

Xzibit?

I bought a pack of thumb picks out of curiosity and I actually really like them. I don’t use them every time I play but they’re nice to have.
