First three seconds of "The Fez" played before I paused it, I started stimming and referring myself in the third person saying "he's got that Steely Dan autism"

My favorite part about having a day off is that I inevitably spend the whole day grading and planning, and at the end of it all I'm still behind

Funny week. Crimson def a highlight for me, put off listening to it for so long but it's so good. Other three are awesome too, not as impressive but lots of good stuff all around.

I hate my job so fucking much dude, there's got to be more to life than going to work, then getting home and working even more

Yeah this entire school year has been that for me. Becoming very intimate with the feeling of "doing the absolute best I can at something and still failing due to factors out of my control."

Thank you Andrew Latimer and everyone else who contributed to this amazing musical project. Almost thirty years from the first to the last.

It's particularly interesting the way N&W pays tribute to the late, great Bardens by being very keyboard heavy. Apparently Latimer played some of the keyboards himself, which is nice. Either way, it's a fitting sendoff for the band's supposed final album. From the torchbearer to the torchlighter.

This week, I caught up on two of my favorite artists. The difference of course being that Danny has a new album dropping next month, whereas Camel haven't made a new record in over two decades. Very melancholic on that last one.

Forgot to say something about this, but idk if I have anything new to say. RoboCop is some of the most fun I've had in a theater. Rajaz is a brilliant, mature comeback album. MW is pop excellence. Yay!

Terrace @terrace210.bsky.social · 14d

Best of September:

1. RoboCop
2. Camel – Rajaz
3. Magdalena Bay – Mercurial World

It's always really surreal to go on social media and see how many people still think of school with the mentality of a child, like they still relate more to the student than they do to the teacher

Or they're just actual children, in which case go play Roblox or something
