Obsessive compulsive listening, Courtney Barnett edition

Today in lieu of a real blog post (sorry, this month will probably see lots of, um, 'cheat' posts. It's November. I'm crazy busy, Also, sometimes, just lazy), I wanted to take a moment to insist you check out a song by one of my favorite current artists.

Seven things that maybe you didn't know about me (but maybe you did, who knows).

It's only been about three weeks since Transfinite Love tagged me to write a "7 Things You Don't Know About Me" post. I joked then that I'd get right on to procrastinating about it and, sure enough ...

I don't know; define "too much."

The #AmtrakRedsidency application process is (hopefully) a work-in-progress

Ever since writer Jessica Gross' random tweet earned her a residency with Amtrak, the Internet's been clamoring for the railway company to make it official.

In which I corner you on the Internet and get all up in your personal space

OK, I want to keep blogging daily (really!) but I'm not sure if I can keep up with the writing prompts.

Nothing against the prompts, but they're requiring so much damn introspection that it's making me grumpy.

Which brings us to today's, which pretty much answers itself:
