I listened to GIZMO by Tanukichan. 🎵
I had to scroll back through my added albums to last year to find this again because I couldn’t remember this artist or album name. I only remembered the crunchy fuzzy 90s-altrock/shoegazish vibe and that Toro y Moi produced it and that it came out last year and that it had a dog and barfy slimy green and magenta letters on the cover.

I listened to MAHAL by Toro y Moi. 🎵
My father-in-law is in the Philippines on a work trip and there were pictures shared and discussion of the awesomeness of jeepneys and tricycles in the family chat, so that of course over anything else gave me a flimsy excuse to think of this album and listen to it again, as it doesn’t take very much to make me think of this album and want to listen to it again. And I surprisingly couldn’t resist also randomly sharing1 in the family chat a modicum of my enthusiasm for the album and Chaz' associated jeepney restoration project.

I watched Back to the Future (1985). 🎥
Will and I watched Back to the Future tonight. Literally dated film, but it’s still great.

Murky Shimmer | Picture Not Taken

I saw several fish swimming in the creek1 this morning, as many as eight to twelve. A grey ghostly shadowed slow shimmering of fins and scales in a protected pocket of murky water beneath the rough old rock wall, across on the neighbor’s side.2 I didn’t think I could capture them sufficiently in a photograph or video, especially at that distance.

‘You have new memories of your relatives’ [Email Notification]
‘See memories’ [Action]
Not sure how this actually works, but I’m curious and a bit creeped out on the concept of receiving “new memories” and being notified about them via an email message.
