so i’ve gone from alone in my roommate-less apartment to my parents house where as of today there are three children, one brother’s fiancee, two parents, and three dogs. it is, to say the least, lively. and slightly reminiscent of a farmyard or petting zoo all of the sudden.

but, some fun things of note: last night driving to the piano bar i passed a street called ‘royal worlington drive’. boy, what a great address to have.

also, the local alt-rock radio station is doing a ’14 years in 14 days’ retrospective. yesterday was 1996. after some counting crows, no doubt, and for squirrels (remember them!?), i realized both how far music has come since the late 90’s, and also how far i’ve come from the point in my life when that same alternative radio station provided a substantial portion of my music influences. thank the sweet lord for the internet, friends. there’s only so much sugar ray a person can take.
