I realized a while ago there's a(n annoying?) trope of bands/artists ending their albums by getting up, walking to and through a door, and closing it behind them. The Replacements, Neutral Milk Hotel, Julien Baker, and a few more I'm forgetting. What are your annoying music cliches? Also, while we're here, drop a list why not?

Jeff A mentioned it recently, but the teams the Twins are performing close to are not good teams.

The fam got to check out two things I said could not be properly explained, only experienced: a full solar eclipse and City Museum.

Going to need some help logistically and meteorologically to see this thing today. Hope it works out.

Apparently there's a whole bunch of water down there!

We had a minor flooding issue with all the rain lately so I've had to run some fans in the basement the past couple days. They're making the new Minnesota flag I bought (hanging portrait style on the wall) flicker and sway in the breeze.

One good thing of me finally going through the full run of Mad Men is I now understand the full context of the "Not great, Bob!" meme.

Echoing DPWY. I know I said it before, but hearing about the re-signing of Naz was one of the very few recent surprising new pieces of information that I was given that made me genuinely happy to hear. He was a monster these past couple games (and the whole season of course). I love him so much.

Hopefully Rick is done being sick. I don't feel like taking more time off even though I still have a giant pile of vacation time to use. A good problem, I suppose.
