I fucked up. It's raining and I did laundry. I'm sure to hear about this all weekend.

I'm from the desert. To me, this Japan is always wet. Sometimes hot wet, sometimes cold wet, sometimes soft wet, sometimes hard wet, but always, always, always wet.

I'm using a laundromat, but also I planning to buy a combo unit. I hate hanging my clothes.

Now Listening:

I honestly can't believe this album was 2022 and not... 2002. You know what you're getting here, it's Avril Lavigne. But, like, if that's what you want... There you go.

@jezebelkat@famichiki.jp avatar

Oh yeah... Now my ears aren't bleeding. One advantage to not seriously listening to music, especially not on good equipment, until relatively recently, is that I haven't destroyed my ears.

I queued up Let Go and... ouch. Going from Love Sux in Hi-Res Lossless to what must be my original rip in 128kps MP3... on Sennheiser HD 600s.

The pain, friends. The pain. Them MP3s are crunchy. I'm going to need to replace these.

Okay, let's try this again with digital files suitable for 2024 and not 2002.

Now Listening:

jezebelkat,
@jezebelkat@famichiki.jp avatar

I'm going to have to go back and listen to Let Go, not sure the last time I did, especially as a full album. I bet it has been several years, maybe not since it came out.

jezebelkat,
@jezebelkat@famichiki.jp avatar

Thoughts:

  1. Better than I don't remember. Equipment and quality matters, it's like a first listen.
  2. Sk8ter Boi is the worst song. Nobody's Fool rap parts are a dishonorable mention.
  3. Best songs: I'm With You, Tomorrow, Anything But Ordinary
  4. Greater range of styles than Love Sux, and Love Sux comes off as "What did I expect? Not this shit again" and Let Go comes off as "What do I expect? Do I know?" That alone tells you the age/life stage of each... More about this...

Best New Mexican food is best triangulated this way:

New Mexico
Southern New Mexico
Doña Ana County
Las Cruces
Missouri Avenue
Little hole in the wall called El Jacalito (The Small Adobe House) with the best gorditas on the planet. The place is a greasy spoon, heavy on the grease, limited number of spoons.

I absolutely survived on those as a latchkey kid living in the overtly Mid-Century Modern neighborhood.

Explains a helluva lot about me does it not? Ain't no Modern like Desert Modern.

@Tsutsuku I went to UT, so yeah, I've definitely heard of it. Plenty of locals from there at UT.

My friend has been in Japan for a little while now, but she finally got around to hooking up her TV.

She just sent a message to ask if it was always like this. 😂

(No, it’s not. Usually they just show people eating)

Today I learned FamilyMart has a limit of 30 coins to pay for anything. This is incredibly annoying as I only ever pay in cash for bills that require it, and over years I have attained a bag of coins I need to dispense with.

Legal tender is legal tender, and either it should be accepted or the government should eliminate it.

jezebelkat,
@jezebelkat@famichiki.jp avatar

I mean it's not like I have paying some huge amount in coins. It was only 700 yen. Most of which was in 10s, with a couple of 50s, and a few fives (and two 1s, because the cost ended in 2 yen).

I just didn't happen to have that last 1000 yen note, nor did I have any 100s.

@FlockOfCats This was not possible, given the math involved.

In addition to grammar, I can’t believe I have to fix the most basic factual errors by my editing clients. Like this one dude — he just wrote the date in the cover letter as March 2024 wtf
