Today is my actual birthday, but I'm working today. So we celebrated on Friday.

Edit: I have surprise vacation! Best birthday present ever!

But more importantly Hazel is comfy.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post office your own.

TIL an interesting word for how I experience music!

Are you a musician?

It doesn´t necessarily correlated with being a musician. Heard a radio story about just a regular guy who half-remembered a song from 20 years ago that he heard for a span of two weeks and he was able to recreate faithfully enough with the help of a band for a radio manager to recognize it.

I can´t do that with a song I heard yesterday and I've been playing music all my life.
