A Tom Morello day

and this one



Frank Turner station queued up a bunch of good stuff, Against Me Dropkicks, Floggin, Beans and Toast, RATM, Bad Religion... The Nightwatchman started playing and I went on a youtube deep dive into Tom's stuff there.

Trying to keep my head down, trying to avoid the news from around the world, the idiot in chief and his idiot masses...  i don't want to join the echo chamber but it is bad enough that the handful on FB that are on the other side stuff is leaking into the feed. That normally doesn't happen.

Left the house on the Singlespeed. The road looked clear from the window. Got out there and it wasn't. Turned around, grabbed the MTB and rode in. The 3" tires gripped the nubby ice very well. No problem with traction. But it was a bit slower...  and now it looks like rain and I wore street clothes. Gonna be wet.

And I'm out of garlic at home...  not that they are related.  But I am way out of sync with the grocery shopping after December's craziness...  maybe i can dance between the showers - or catch it as snow...

weather is weird RN.

Working on trying to get through book 3 of the Inheritance Trilogy by N. K. Jemisin, it is soooo good. Esp read by Casaundra Freeman. Interesting trying to find time to listen. I really don't have very much time to do that. I have to work at it. I should stick with reading. Easier to do TBH - or easier to fit in here and there with the way I do stuff.

I'm honestly feeling a bit creatively stifled. It is strange. Part of it is the phone, the battery issues - the sudden death after photograph... and then the lack of inspiration - need a finch or a linden or something to show me the way - the pandora station opened with a Frank Turner song that breaks me a little every time I hear it. No not gonna link it or admit which song it is....  but Tom's stuff was worth the transition. What do look at that I'm excited about - or that someone else is excited enough about to infect and inspire me...

or just keep plodding forward, making it happen... 

pissed that I'm out of garlic- -need to make more salad dressing...

it is pouring outside now, at least that is what the radar says, i'm hiding in the basement with no windows. Like usual.

hopefully it blows over- no fender today -not even a selfish one...  ugh...

oh well - worst case is i get wet - and cold...  i've been that way many times... 

the bike is fun to ride so there's that - yeah - even fun on the bike path, although nor really THAT fun... I should have left early to do some intervals or something - not the best workout to do in heavy work pants.

mentally not there right now either, suppose that's not a surprise...  and the week has felt like a constant thursday - not good.

it is what it is
