It's that time of year when I get too intense about deciding my top albums of the preceding 11 months. I've got a working list in my notes app that includes all my contenders. Totally normal behavior for somebody not even close to in the music industry.

Today we all went to Maria Luisa in Ballard to introduce the girls to empanadas. Which were amazing. The place is heavily decorated with images of Messi and homages to his viral quip, "¿Qué mira, bobo?" Which was also great.

Sure, a lot of people on here tonight are observing that "everybody needs an editor", per the Lizza thing. But I humbly suggest also that everybody needs "Everybody Needs an Editor," a catchy song by indie pop duo Mates of State

Not enough "celery-studded" things in my life
The meal was a serve-yourself affair: shrimp soup, oatrose turnovers, strong old celery-studded yellow cheese, brown wheat bread, strawberry flans, pear and redberry tart, and nutbrown ale or mint leaf an' rosehip cordial to drink.

The service techs have confirmed it: This Subaru is feeling very blue-baru. Way more problems than any Subaru with only 66,000 miles should have, spanning transmission, engine, and electrical systems. And yet here we are, preparing to trade it in for whatever we can still get. Hooray!
I think my 2015 Subaru is trying to tell me something. Like, it's just not doing well and could use some support. The control arm bushings (?!) already needed replacing, and then it developed a windshield crack after the tiniest rock ding a week ago. Now? It's crying tears of coolant.
Yaaaaaaay
