“Algia Mae is a living legend. Her spunk comes through in innuendo-soaked lyrics and perfect Piedmont finger picking.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ MIGHTMARE
“Go for a walk every day, even if it's only 15 minutes. No phone, no music, no podcast, find a nearby green space if you can, just walk and breathe and listen and exist.”
"VACATION" EXTENDED DUE TO COVID | OCTOBER 24th - 31st, 2022
After being away for a few weeks, I finally made it home… and then immediately came down with COVID. And since I am isolating in the bedroom of a small 1-bedroom flat (so as not to get my partner infected), I’ve decided it best to postpone all blogging duties until I’m testing negative and able to fire up the ol’ iMac in the COVID-free office / living room.
I'M ON VACATION! | SEPTEMBER 29th - OCTOBER 24th, 2022

HI:54 / LO:5 — The Golden Girls
“We're halfway through season 6 of Golden Girls & we've yet to consider hitting the 'Skip Intro' button — so if it's not best theme song ever, it's at least on Mt. Rushmore. Also… show holds up great & the cast is perfect (and deserves Mt. Rushmore more than those other old white folks).”
