I got the date wrong on my calendar and missed last night's Maren Morris concert and now I'm bummed.
Okay, so she’s playing Hollywood Bowl on October 13th and Ticketmaster had a couple good seats left and I figured yolo I guess and bought them, plural, because Ticketmaster is the worst, so it looks like I’ll get to see her on this tour after all, yay, but like… do I know anyone on here who can use the other ticket?

Huffing and puffing though C25K training and I see a man sitting under a Jacaranda tree, working away on his laptop.
“Huh, kinda reminds me of - JAMES!”
Spontaneous @badgopher run-in with hugs makes for a great start to the weekend.
I look up from some cloud deployment analysis thing on my laptop and there’s someone standing on the path next to the tree I like to hang out under on sunny afternoons, and they’re looking at me, and I’m looking back, and I think, or maybe I say, “hey, I know you!”
Last year I got my covid booster + flu shot at the same time and it was a non-event so I didn’t think anything of getting this year’s bivalent booster + flu shot together. That was Wednesday afternoon. Thursday morning I had Regrets, but the worst of it passed in a couple hours, once the coffee + acetaminophen kicked in. This morning I was perfectly fine.
Demi Lovato is touring her new album, but the closest she’ll get to here is LA on a Wednesday, and I’m decidedly too old to pull off that commute for a concert on a school night. So I bought a ticket and booked the rest of that week off work because I am decidedly old enough to pull off that kind of nonsense.
And then I remembered my horrible idea from a few weeks ago and confirmed that Chvrches is playing in Seattle that Friday, so…
The other day I finished Carrie Soto Is Back and it was fine, but I spent most of the book thinking about the few years I was kinda into following tennis, and wondering why I stopped. Tonight I think I figured it out and it is the most boring reason.
I had another thing sketched out for this spot but I can’t remember what it was, so let’s just pretend it was something droll and get on with our day. Deal?
Casual lunchtime walk through a tropical storm because I make Good Decisions.
VICTORY!!
(Truthful Tuesday)
That headline in The Atlantic last month, Even the CDC Is Acting Like the Pandemic Is Functionally Over, has been chewing up a lot of cycles lately.
what the fuck, no, I hate it, put it back
Got a text from Charles this morning inviting me over for cake and ice cream later this week, and this was going to be a post about how I can never figure out a birthday present, and wandering around Target forever before remembering the ‘it doesn’t matter, she’ll love whatever you get her’ advice Charles gave me years ago when I asked what she might want, but then I forgot which birthday this was so I dove into the photo vault and good lord, memories, but then I found my answer and now sitting here in my barely lit living room trying to reconcile how this kid’s about to be 16.
Sad that my “#kelvin is the only appropriate temperature scale for how stupidly hot it is outside” tag didn’t save on last night’s post because really, 306 feels way more accurate than “92” or “33.3”
