scooby and Courage crossover

 

This looks great

 

Watching my cat bug out after having catnip

 

This sassy goofball

 

Music release days like today. New Modest Mouse, Tyler, the Creator, The Murlocs, Lucy Dacus, and Drug Church and they’re all good. Making packing/cleaning much more enjoyable.

 

just saw someone two years younger than me who looked at least twenty years older than me. so that's always an ego boost

 

Taking a full-body stretch after a good night's sleep lol

 

My children.

 

Early Modest Mouse

 

air conditioning after you've been without it

 

Wildlife

 

eating the Popeyes chicken sandwich atm

it's the little things

 

Turkish bread

 

A cold beer out of the bottle on a hot day. Bonus points if it’s one you used to love and haven’t had in ages (Victory Hop Devil tonight)

 

Unexpectedly hearing a song by a relatively
unknown artist you love in a movie or TV show

 

Oh that’s a really good one

 

I heard Fontaines D.C. (not exactly unknown when they’re a Grammy nominated band now) on a season 4 episode of Atypical a few nights ago, can confirm that this is a super cool feeling

 

The smell of freshly roasted coffee

 

The first Harvey Danger album

 

bugs weren't as bad this week as they have been but I expect they may ramp back up in August

small victory but feels like a victory nonetheless

 

When edibles kick in

 

When you connect with something new from the entertainment world (book, song, album, tv show, movie, YouTube channel, etc.)

think I said this before, but it still applies lol.

I feel like for weeks I’ve been desperately searching for something to fill that “feel” or that space and it’s probably me looking at the past with rose-tinted glasses but I feel like it used to happen all the time (10-15 years ago in my teens and early 20’s) and now it rarely does. There have been songs and maybe a few albums that really did it over the last few years but it seems so much harder to come by.

And not something that becomes a new addicting favorite you obsess over (although that can happen) but just something that perfectly fits your mood and life in that moment to carry along. Hard to explain.

 

I know exactly what you're talking about and those things tend to come less and less for me over the years, too. I don't know if it's age, maybe being less in touch with the cultural zeitgeist, or something else altogether but I think it makes me appreciate when I do actually hit on something new a lot more because of that

 

hope all of you are well

 

You too buddy
