it's difficult to read about the demise of Chuck’s Animatronic Band without getting teary-eyed … as you may or may not know, I was a member of this troupe for a short and sweet but undeniably awkward time

Why is it called the "art world", "literary world", "academic world", etc.

And then "music INDUSTRY" ? (+ film, tv blah blah)

I had the opportunity to see the #aurora FROM A PLANE on a flight from BWI to AVL tonight! Stunning, and very ghostly to see it with my own eyes for the first time. What a great time for a geomagnetic storm :)

I’ll post an update if I happen to get Fantastic 4 power after this, isn’t that how that movie starts?

This is the coolest and most interesting thing i've learned, possibly, this year! Regret missing Dr. Spottiswoode's original study from 2016/14.

Someone who studies huffs, exhales, pffts, and the like, is called a sigh-entist.

😔 Three years. We miss you. #Alx #gtrxela #RIP #300620 #grief
.
My friends, the next time you:
—drive home, take a different route than you usually do, or take a route for the first time.
—have a steak, get it medium rare.
—listen to music, check out Al's YouTube music channel or listen to Randy Rhoads or Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks or King's X.
—watch a film, watch 'The Blues Brothers' or 'Rocky'.
—have a cocktail, drink rum and coke or a Maker's Mark.
—get Mexican food, eat carne asada.
