Family, Right?

 I love mine, I do. But sometimes, they could be a bit more helpful, you know? For instance, I was planning on writing a blog post (about something I've now forgotten) when LS1 brought me a paper with a name on it. All she did was smile and leave me to my own conclusions. I had to go to my mother for more information on what I was supposed to look up.

Also, I have a cousin who is like a sister to me. Every time I call, she never picks up. And since I'm between cells right now, I can't text her. So, I email her. And that worked for a while. But, I sent her an email two months ago and I still haven't heard back. I hear about her through other family members. How is that going to help me check on her?

And so far this week, I feel like if I blink wrong, LB1 will snap my head off. LB2 is upset that I called a minor injury to Mom's attention and LittlestB is becoming a tiny tyrant we're going to have to de-thrown. 

Sorry, not sorry for this mini-rant. It's been bubbling for a while. If any of you all out there feel me, please leave a message below. I feel like I'm writing for either a time capsule or a hoard of robots that is going to declare me their de facto queen since I pretty much seem to write for their benefit. 

Finneas' new album, "Optimist"!

 I am a fan of Billie Eilish. I love to listen to her music as I cook and clean in the kitchen. So, when my mom told me that Finneas O'Connell, Billie's older brother, had an album out, I got it the very same day. I have no regrets.

I played his album today as I worked in the kitchen. He has the same smooth quality of voice as his sister. I didn't want the album to end. I breezed through my work. I am putting this album on replay.

Below are a few of my favorites:

 

 

Also, Adele has a new single out. You will catch that below.

So Sorry

 If you were expecting a post on my regular day, that didn't happen. Life seems to like to conspire against me so that I don't post as regularly as I'd like. But, I'm here now, so let's get to it.

Bomba Estero put out a new song named Ahora. I'm literally jamming to it as I'm writing this piece. I needed this song this summer. It would've been part of my Summer 2021 Playlist. Here it is below. 

I just got W.R Gingell's 9th book in her Between series. Can't wait to start Between Family since the last book ended with an epic cliffhanger. In truth, my to read list is so long, I think I need a few extra lives in order to get through all of it.

To knit or not to knit

 I'm almost finished this lovely beanie and scarf set. The scarf is coming along slowly because I find myself stopping and starting. It's hard to knit with a migraine since you're curled up in a ball in the darkest place you can find.

As you can see, it's been a bit of a trying time. But I am almost 2/3 of the way done and will post photos when I am. As always, feel free to leave a message below.

Porter Robinson's new album "Nurture"!

 Last Friday, I heard Just a snip-it of the end of the Podcast, Sound Exchange. But that little bit spurred me on to find the song. Reader, I found it.

Porter Robinson's newest album "Nurture" just came out and I got his whole album. I've played it pretty much all day long. I don't know when I'll stop.

Below are two songs I think you might like.

Porter Robinson - Get your Wish

 This is the song that had me hunting for this man's name. There's a happy nostalgic beauty to it. I absolutly love it!

Porter Robinson - dullscythe

 At first, I thought that something was wrong with my browser, the clip I heard was breaking apart. Then, when I listened to the whole thing I totally got his concept. This song is like a dull blade. As the song progresses, it sharpens like a Scythe against a whetstone. It is so incredibly deep and gorgeous. 

I hope you liked those two songs. As always, feel free to leave a message below.

Camila Cabello's Don't Go Yet is......... my family's theme song?

 Honest to goodness, Every family get together is like this, "Wait a minute, before you go, I have to tell you this..." Or "Before I go, Let me tell you...". It never ends. I'm not complaining. I've been guilty of this myself so I have no room to point fingers. I'm just saying that I get it.

It's nice to know we're not the only quirky, clingy family around. And yes, I am the type of person who would cling to your leg and beg you to stay. If that didn't work, I try and make you take me with you. And I'm not the clingy one in my house. I don't make myself sick because you left me. No, I'm not naming names. You Know who you are.

I'm totally going to play this the next time we all manage to get together. Whenever that will be. I personally think the Pandemic made the clinginess worse.

Space Crunch!

 My dad is eating up my data space on my usb drives. So, I'm experiencing a bit of a space crunch. If I can compress, I will. If I have copies, you better believe one will disappear into the ether of deletion.

I am going to get him his Own Micro SD Card. I am freaking out. I need space and one of my USB drives is missing.
