There is something very comforting hearing Zach Condon singing "You're not too late to find who you are" on "The Tern."

I don't know what I'm getting up for.

Mother, Come Home by Paul Hornschemeier or Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol, perhaps? Mother, Come Home is a bit heavy though, so I would keep that in mind if you decide to read it.

Even if it pains me that music has lost that joy it once brought me, it can still express how I feel better than anything else.

"What's left is only bittersweet, for the rest of my life, admitting the best is behind me. Now I'm drunk and afraid, wishing the world would go away."

I spoke too soon. The last episode of "Somebody Somewhere" was utterly relatable.

Sometimes when people ask how I am, I want to give them the playlist I've been listening to on repeat.

Finally started watching the last season of "Somebody Somewhere," and it is providing such a nice break from life.

I wonder if this new hint of sadness when listening to Vampire Weekend and St. Vincent will always linger in the background.

"But the lows are so extreme, that the good seems fucking cheap, and it teases you for weeks in its absence."

LAX to OGG.

There is a reason I never bothered with contacts after wearing glasses for over 20 years. Will just accept viewing blurry marine life.

It's a surreal experience to speak about urns and ashes so casually, and to have a contact saved at a funeral home with whom I can refer to whenever these "casual questions" come up.

In an alternate version of my life, I would be driving out to see the anniversary show of Stars' "Set Yourself on Fire" tonight with my favorite person.

"The worst is all the lovely weather. I'm stunned it's not raining. The coffee isn't even bitter because, what's the difference?"

"You were a presence full of light upon this Earth, and I am a witness to your life and to its worth."

Once again I am stuck at work whilst everyone else is off today.

I feel like posting on here is like yelling out into the ether, which I suppose makes the name appropriate. It also helps that I lack followers.

As much as I love Rilo Kiley's "The Execution of All Things," there is something about "Take Offs and Landings" that always gets to me (especially the first half).

Only after signing up did I realize I should actually post something. I suppose this is a start.
