Most of the males in my life have been deeply flawed. Freddy is just the latest. He can be so cute and sweet, yet I spent the weekend trying to hide paper products from him. Saturday morning I woke to find he’d shredded an entire roll of paper towels in the kitchen. And he played a game of cat and mouse, so to speak, with the toilet paper rolls. Which I kept hiding in different spots, but he eventually got a hold of. Despite that minor frustration it was a most decent weekend. I postponed some of the unfun stuff to enjoy the good weather and good times with friends. Jumping into piles of leaves with the little man, cupcake Saturday, repeatedly rolling down a big hill (said hill will be transformed into a mini golf course in the Spring, with the return of Walker in the Rough) and more. I even got a little grown up time and saw Control with a friend. But that time change can go suck it. Seriously.
Bonus: Needed a little extra something to get me going today, and that something was the latest from Junior Senior. Who could possibly be in a bad mood while listening to the Happy Rap?
Plus: I only just realized Danny Gregory started blogging again (after a little break) and has posted an awesome piece of work called School for Evil.
And: Two Stephin Merritt shout outs today. This morning Pitchfork reported that The Magnetic Fields will be touring early next year, in support of their upcoming album, Distortion. Then on the drive home I heard a piece on NPR, where they gave him some photos and words as inspiration, and two days to turn that into a fully formed song. Interesting stuff.
