Sometimes it makes me laugh when I find myself thinking maybe I should move to another country, as if it's really a serious dilemma I'm having and it's just super easy to do that on a whim.

Cursed thought of the day: you can replace "Armageddon it" in the Def Leppard song of the same name with "Ermahgerd Gersberms!"

I expect my dominant hand to be more dexterous sure, but it’s still surprising to me how incapable of simply cleaning my glasses my left hand is when I am eating and have something on my right hand. Just total fail.

Got my SUPER SWEET new handmade bag from Brass Engine Studio today. He only made a handful in various sizes and colors and I love it. Now I have a safe and awesome place to stash my glasses, a lens cloth, keys, etc. As I get older it seems like I have to carry more stuff around!

“Summer Breeze” is still my favorite Mountain Dew Zero flavor ever and I wish it wasn’t limited and was just always available everywhere, but this one is a close second.

This is small but pretty cool. The future of the zipper! www.wired.com/story/the-zi...

I am SO hard on myself when I fail to meet a goal, or other bar I set. It is completely unproductive and I need to be better. Uh-oh, I just set another goal!

I have a general anxious dissatisfaction in life. HOWEVER, in the gratitude department, I obviously have a lot of great things too that make me NOT want to just ditch my life, move to another country and do...something.

@ologies.bsky.social mentioned Tsetse flies on the latest bonus episode. I have ONE context for Tsetse flies: They were an annoying hazard in the Atari 2600 Raiders of the Lost Ark game that would put you to sleep with sleeping sickness if they caught up with you.

SPACEBALLS: THE SNACK!

Anytime it’s actually nice and pleasant outside in Austin, Texas, I feel like I need to broadcast it like some kind of PSA. “ALERT! IT’S ACTUALLY ENJOYABLE OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. GET OUT IN IT!”

This is BS. I’ve been hanging out in this alley for like 5 minutes and there has been no kissing.

Got home around 1am from 10 hour day of driving and gigging. Now off to play with DiscoTex: The Ultimate ABBA Cover Band in San Marcos at The Porch at 1p!

I love colored stitching on buttons and buttonholes.

Playing with Changes - A Tribute To Chicago tonight at Deep Roots Vineyard in Plantersville!

It’s a LIVING DOCUMENT.

Back pet sitting for a couple of weeks with Tank, Pongo, and pictured here, Felix who always acts like he’s starving to death and hasn’t eaten for days. He’s a liar.

My 3rd thought: I don't know these people at all. Maybe they've been through this before and they've settled into this familiar rhythm. They know each other. So I should just mind my own business.

My last thought: Or maybe he's an inconsiderate dick. I guess I'll never know.
3/3

My 1st thought: What a dick. He should have at least opened her door and OFFERED some help.

My 2nd thought: Hey she's a strong independent woman who can take care of herself and doesn't need doors opened or help climbing into a monster truck even while extremely pregnant. She's got this.

The setup: I'm walking home. I see a man and a woman going to their very large truck parked on the street. She is also very pregnant. He goes and gets in the driver's side next to the curb and she goes around to the street side to step up on the side step and climb into this beast of a vehicle.

I’ve always loved this guitar solo by Jim Peterik from “Vehicle” by Ides Of March. One of the 2 non-Chicago songs Changes will be playing Saturday Night at Deep Roots Vineyards.

This is just wasted brain space.

Heath Allyn @heathallyn.com · 10d

Sewing a button on is such a trivial task, and yet I hate doing it.

Heath Allyn @heathallyn.com · 11d

Ugh, nothing makes me feel like a worse musician than recording something in my studio. EVERYTHING SUCKS. SLOPPY. TIMING IS OFF. GAH.
