Since returning from vacation I’ve been feeling out of sorts and tired all the time. Last weekend I barely made it out of the house. Instead, I had my man friend over to catch up on TV (including the Game of Thrones premiere, of course - which also means the return of Gay of Thrones, thankfully). As always, there have been all kinds of awful saturating the 24 news cycles but I am just tired. Trying to focus on the more hopeful side of things.
Five Good Things:
- Beyoncé benevolently dropped a surprise live album with her Netflix documentary, Homecoming. We all benefited from this blast of joy in these dark times.
- On twitter today people have been remiscing about their first First Avenue shows. Mine was Agent Orange in 1988 (I still have the ticket stub). Looking forward to the new exhibit opening at the MN History Center:
Since 1970, First Avenue & 7th St. Entry have been at the heart of the Minnesota music scene. Celebrate the musicians, the employees, and the regulars who called First Avenue their rock ‘n’ roll home.
- How wildlife bridges over highways make animals—and people—safer:
Bridges for bears and tunnels for tortoises have significantly reduced the number of wildlife-car collisions worldwide. Pretty neat. - The Village Where They Pelt a Man in a Monster Costume With 30 Tons of Turnips (And nobody is quite sure why.)
- Lastly, a highly entertaining SNL skit featuring Emma Stone. It is too good.
Tomorrow night I return to teaching, after my day job. This session the class is a little less about coding and more focused on design. I’m hoping my students respond well to using Figma for creating mood boards and personal logos. These classes have been teaching me something about teaching, but also reminding me how much I enjoy web design and development.
