Been slogging through your everyday wear-you-down sort of life stuff this week, but in and around all of that there have been plenty of highlights. Like making home-cooked meals. And enjoying excellent weather from the safety of my back deck (my weedy, overgrown yard is looking like Land of the Lost). And spending quality time with my boyfriend. And spending quality time with my kid, of course. Yesterday morning in the car he began cackling Crispin Glover style. Not sure if that should be filed under good or bad but it was as entertaining as it was alarming.
Other excellent things excelling in the field of excellence:
- This week I’ve been enjoying loads of new music. Including the latest from Athens weirdcore Harvey Milk, A Small Turn of Human Kindness. As well as a pre-Mercyful Fate era King Diamond band. The 1980 LP from Brats is freaking awesome.
- Interesting interview with artist Wes Lang. Don’t get sucked into his pornhole!
- I Meant to Do That: ‘The Pee-wee Herman Show’ hits Broadway. Would so love to see that.
- WANT: Trinie Dalton’s horrors and unicorns in Mythtym.
- Late to the game but I’m enjoying this slow food series: “The Perennial Plate is an online weekly documentary series dedicated to socially responsible and adventurous eating.“
- Lou Romano’s Monster Squad Portraits are GORGEOUS. And that ties in nicely with these 30 Famous Mythical Humanoid Creatures.
- Long ago I professed my love of Mimi Smartypants. Reading about her recent trip to Atlanta made my day.
We have yet another busy weekend ahead. Tonight is Clockwork’s big bash (many compromising photos to come, I’m sure). Tomorrow night is a very special art opening in St. Paul that everyone should get to (this means YOU). Saturday the kid and I have a birthday party to attend way way out in the burbs, followed by an acquaintance’s housewarming BBQ closer to home. And Sunday? Still on the fence about a Taco Farm journey. Hermitude in the coming heatwave may just win out.
