Fuck #TicketMaster / #LiveNation, $82 for a general admission ticket to the see the #ViolentFemmes is just plain WRONG. I loathe living in a country designed expressly for the greediest of the greedy. #music #90s

More Notes & Asides
I’ve loved #DaftPunk for decades but have never seen the video for “Around the World” (or any of their videos) until today.
#JohnCarpenter’s #Halloween is one of our favorite #horror #movies, and this is my new favorite scene 😆 Also: I imagine #MichaelMyers talking to himself in #Beavis’ voice. #HeyLadies
In other news, I spent an hour messing with a new color scheme for my #website last night. This is the 3rd color palette that I’ve used and I suspect it won’t be the last 😆 And I know that there are a LOT of colors, & that I can get rid of some of them. But #minimalism is not natural to me. Pretty sure this all relates to #adhd in some fashion 🤔
Have you read this? It made me wonder how I managed to adult in the minimal capacity I could in my 20s & on – which consisted, tbh, in drinking too much #alcohol (a source of #dopamine & lowered #anxiety). But I’m thinking more on how to best guide & support my kids (though without some of the punitive ideas like charging rent, the author is a dinosaur from the 60s). https://www.additudemag.com/grow-up-already-why-it-takes-so-long-to-mature/
The Queen was not impressed by my recent #thriftshop find. #Cat #Cats #Felines #CaturdayEveryday #Caturday Also on: website
This was one of the most adorable things I’ve seen in ages – a youngun discovers that she loves #ProWrestling after having managed to avoid it for years. I can see the avoiding part, I met all of 1 friend in college who enjoyed it (the rest of them were snooty dicks desperate for alternative street cred*). This also hit home as our 14yo watched a little wrestling with me over the past year and found that they liked #IyoSky (and now #Asuka too) because of their style & attitude. (Not coincidentally, they’re into manga & anime so I suspect they’re like crazy anime characters come to life.) They watched both nights of ‘Mania with me after getting invested in Cody finishing his story and buying into all the various storylines. And also thinking that Rhea Ripley is cool as shit. They totally get what a unique storytelling experience it ...

@ArpComics I’m a frequent femmes listener too! There are some snippets in their songs that I find very philosophically helpful:
“I’m not doing something I’m supposed to do, I’m doing something I’m not supposed to” (first lines of Lack of Knowledge)
&
Good Feeling!!!!!!!
@RMiddleton I’m still seething from the ticket prices, I’ve wanted to see them for decades.
@ArpComics I get that. I was fortunate that they came to my college around the time American Music / Why Do Birds Sing. And I knew their earlier songs from my older sister. I think they’re a fascinating band. Lots of fun to dance to. Sorry about capitalism.
