Ice, Ice BB

My car needs a bath so, so bad. It's hard to justify when it's just going to get sloshed on again. Though it is always fun to take the kids and go through the automatic/drive-through carwash with this song playing:




That was Jason's idea. He's right ya know. It's magical to see all the swirling, spinning brushes and raggy things rotating and swooshing around with suds and sprays whilst this song plays. And somehow as the wash ends and the sunlight reaches the windshield again - that last little choral bit plays and it's like, "whoa".

Music just does it for me. I got to jam for a half minute with Riley and Mike yesterday. Open mic on Monday was rad. Always is, really. Hopefully I can work on some tunes with Ben Morse soon too - he told me of a job opening at a company his friend works at and I GOT THE JOB! It's an amazingly better schedule and customer service position. Call centers are incredibly not my thing it turns out.

Riley is taking me out for sushi on Saturday. I'm going to wear a retro dress I found at Goodwill and put on makeup and do my hair and post that crap in Instagram because it's art, bruh.

Da Flow

That "Organ Donor" track got some sweet lyrics - at a certain point an idea manifested and the flow was funky fresh (and feisty!) and I can somehow remember the words when I perform it too! Haha. I have a difficult time with that usually. Lately I've been thinking in poems and feeling great... like, probably too great. I'm a sucker for unsustainable levels of happiness. The last several weeks I've been improvising songs for a newly formed band that currently goes by #dorsalfun (yes, hashtag dorsalfun, it's awful on purpose or on porpoise. haha. ugh.) It's such a fantastic group of people - really wonderful musicians. It's an honor to jam with them whenever the opportunity arises.

Work has been stimulating too, I just finished the five weeks of training and am starting the regular schedule the day after tomorrow. With the holidays and a personal day already scheduled, the next three weeks will be four day work weeks. I did laundry today. The kids are all set for school next week and will have a nice winter break soon. These kids are a delight. I bought Roland a new coat with an "R" on it, it's way cute. We went and saw A Christmas Carol last night, amazing actors that also play instruments - it was kind of incredible. Scrooge was really into it. A bunch of drool fell out of his mouth at one point.
