There’s a secret room in the basement of our duplex that only the management company has access to. I’ve lived there since 2011 and had never seen inside. But my imagination filled in the blanks. Earlier today I went down to the basement, to do some laundry. The door was open.

And it’s just a sad empty-ish room. With some paint cans and a ladder. Crushing disappointment. At least it isn’t a sex dungeon. That would have been unsettling. And I’m not sure how I’d explain that to our soon-to-be roommate. Yes, my wonderful boyfriend has agreed to move in to my current abode. In St. Paul. Which will save me a lot stress and a good chunk of money every month. And enable me to save up for the super fun vacation we’re planning for the summer time. A train trip to Montreal!
Five more good things:
- We should all be watching at least one TED talk a week. Today I was entertained by this one with Reggie Watts.
- Last Thursday night I bailed on seeing my friends perform at the Kitty Cat Klub (too late / I’m too old) and intended to stay in to watch a live streaming performance of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds in LA. But I fell asleep instead. Thankfully it was online for 24 hours. I was able to watch it on Friday before it was pulled (a director’s cut is coming soon). But now I’m full of even more regret. For not having gotten tickets to the Chicago show. Kept hoping for a last minute Minneapolis announcement. Wah-wah. Last time I saw Nick Cave was with Grinderman and I haven’t seen him with the Bad Seeds in over a decade.
- Didn’t watch the Oscars, but after the fact I enjoyed seeing seeingthe good bits with Jennifer Lawrence. I already thought she was pretty ace after Winter’s Bone but my opinion of her is only climbing now. She seems like a real human person!
- I’ve also been enjoying the sophomore effort from Denmark’s Iceage. You can hear a bit of it here. And I did get us tickets to their upcoming show at the Triple Rock, with local favorites Condominium opening.
- Random mid-winter want: hot tub boats controlled by joystick. That, or a trip to warmer climes.
We warmed things up Friday night with good times with good friends at the Dust Buns tape release show at the Eagles Club. But Saturday was the main event. STNNNG release / 10th anniversary show split across three venues and many many hours. It was a strangely emotional and exhausting event and I felt fairly useless on Sunday. Though I did manage to blow through all my photo editing. Need to post a round-up on my sadly neglected photo blog. Posting my intention here will make me follow through. Yeah.
