Happy First Friday of Summer! Or, if you\u2019re in the souther hemisphere, Happy Winter and Cozy Season!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s either blankets or bug spray, your choice.<\/p>\n
I hope you have lovely plans ahead of you, and lots of pleasant weather to enjoy, regardless of season.<\/p>\n
I have no sense of time whatsoever. The passage of time is meaningless (5 minutes? 5 hours? Couldn\u2019t tell you) and the existence of time as a concept is an eternal mystery. So to make sure I\u2019m somewhat on time for whatever is on my calendar, I play music while I\u2019m in the shower to roughly gauge how much time has passed.<\/p>\n
Lately I\u2019ve been diving back into music I liked and have forgotten about, and I remembered this cover of \u201c32 Flavors\u201d by Ani DiFranco by Alana Davis:<\/a><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n And if you\u2019d like to hear the original,<\/a> which isn\u2019t too different but a little longer:<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n What are your favorite covers? What\u2019s on your summer playlist?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n By posting a comment, you consent to have your personally identifiable information collected and used in accordance with our privacy policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy First Friday of Summer!
