Having a forum where I can weekly share my thoughts puts a lot of pressure on me to actually have thoughts. It also clashes with my general sense that there’s too much talking out there anyway. Maybe it’s the chill in the air, or that school has started again, or major election coverage fatigue, or not understanding the stock market, but I’m tired and have no original commentary to make on anything this week. Instead, look at this fun thing on the internet: it’s a Japanese website, where they recreate album covers using food. Why not? My favorite part so far is this version of Nirvana’s In Utero in rice, followed by this photograph of paper doll versions of the Red Hot Chili Peppers standing vigil over the rice In Utero – mourning the loss of Kurt Cobain presumably – complete with paper doll cut-outs with different outfits. Sorry to make this an entry of “isn’t this crazy thing so crazy?!” …but, isn’t it? Related: informal survey: what is crazier, this or this?
MTM News: Sorry to pummel you with this, but ON THIS DATE in 1970, something dear to my heart premiered and changed the world for the better. (Whoa, and at long last they are set to be releasing seasons 5-7 on DVD.)
Autumn Songs: Yes, autumn is a euphemism for Fleetwood Mac. Here you go. But, also? A song I always rely on when life is hard (often) or I am sad, and last night I parted ways with a drinking buddy feeling a little melancholy. Usually, this song makes things seem like they actually will get easier. (Ultimately entropy means to me that things tend to get more complicated, not easier, but the Five Stairsteps were the First Family of Soul, not the Phirst Phamily of Physics.)
