February 10, 2015: Walking Pneumonia
That's what The Milkmaid's had all this time. Have I mentioned that? Her cough's gone on for about four months, although she's as close to normal as she's been in a long time.
Happy Birthday–February 10

February 9, 2015: The End
...of a decent stretch of work days. I should have probably saved my latest "the end" for Saturday before my week off, but whatever.
Beck – Waking Light
In what I'm told was the only real upset of the night, Beck takes home the Golden Glove for Album of the Year. I still feel Sea Change is the superior album in almost every way, but whatever. One more for the shelf for the musician-poet who transcends genres even as he re-invents them.
