Got an album release promotional announcement from a band whose email list I signed up for sometime during Dubya's first term and then largely forgot about. If nothing else I'm impressed with their commitment.
A pair of cats are having a particularly raucous round of angry feline doin' it in the alley out back and Paisley is on paragraph four (and counting) of her unhinged NextDoor rant.
Let Godspeed You! Black Emperor melt my brain for a couple of hours tonight. Highly recommend standing within earshot of the projectors if you ever get the chance. The clicking during the quiet parts really adds to the set.

I love when a plan comes together. This weekend's gonna be lit.

(I haven't had a bowl of Ajiaco in 20+ years, and only then made by Colombian expats. Using this recipe for my first solo attempt with high hopes - mycolombianrecipes.com/ajiac…)
Took Pais in for her annual this evening. Vet performed 90% of the exam with her laying like this and I had to drag her off the chair like a giant bag of mulch for the other ten. She is a monument to stoic stubbornness.

Excellent new sticker that went straight onto the laptop (few make it there) courtesy of the always amazing @czelticgirl. Looking forward to a new crop of confused stares from all but maybe two of my coworkers.

It's pretty counterproductive to pull the crock pot out from Summer storage and clean the dusty interior while wearing a dog fur-encrusted hoodie.
Anyways, happy condensed soup season to all who celebrate.

ALT Forecast for Saint Louis, Missouri from Oct 6th-8th indicating lows in the mid-30s, Fahrenheit.
Every time I listen to Denzel Curry's most recent album I get kind of tickled that he decided to follow a Saul Williams guest spot with a T-Pain banger (it's not a "end of side A/beginning of side B" thing, I've checked).
