Listened back to a podcast discussion I was on and realized how frequently I’m using the word “right?” as a punctuation at the end of a thought. Now that I’m aware I’m hearing it among a lot of my coworkers, too. Where did that come from? Gonna have to work to stomp it out of my speech patterns.

Thanks to Jeffrey Overstreet for making me aware of this: a new Sixpence None the Richer Tiny Desk Concert!

I am a couple years behind on this one, but Sufjan Stevens’ instrumental album Reflections is my favorite new discovery in a while.

Hit Guitar Center yesterday for a cable and they had a Nord Stage 4 out to demo. What a beautiful keyboard. If anybody’s got $5500 they want to give me, I know I’d use it… 😀

Watched: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery 🍿

Even if I hadn’t already known that Rian Johnson grew up a youth group kid, I would’ve known it after watching this. More Gospel here than in most all the churches he’s critiquing. Bless him.

I got new AirPods Pro 3s last week. I love the amount of detail I’m hearing now in the music I listen to. Not sure if I just haven’t paid enough attention before or if these AirPods are that big an improvement over the 2nd gens.

Love the new glasses, hate the 2-3 days of wearing them it takes to get my eyes and brain to adjust to the differences from my last pair.

New glasses! It’s been a few years.

Back for one week in the office before two weeks off for holidays. Let’s do this.
