    So I’ve been listening to Dave Grohl’s The Storyteller, and I’m not gonna lie, it’s kind of inspired me to look into punk. I never really got into punk for whatever reason, but apparently the lead singer of one of my favorite bands can get me to try anything at least once. I can’t say…

    Sooooooo … new challenge for this next month! I was actually planning on doing a different series for September, but ultimately, I decided to go another direction, which led me to … Arrested Development. I am actually so excited for this challenge because I feel like there’s so much to unpack, especially with the two…

    As a graduation from nursing school gift, my family bought me an iPad Pro, something that I’d been wanting for years but just didn’t have the money for, and for the first couple of weeks after I’d turned it on, I played with it and tried my hand at a few of the Apple products…

    You know, I was going to do another themed “on rotation,” but instead, I’m going to use my tried and true “YouTube thought I’d like this” method. I think I’m confusing its algorithm with all the genres I’m listening to because Sugarcubes is one of the weirder bands they’ve introduced me to (hi, young Bjork!),…

    I’ve been having kind of an existential crisis over the past couple of weeks, and part of it is due to the fact that I turn 40 in a few months. I know, I know, age is but a number, but 40? It’s kind of a big deal. Like … okay, the concept of being…

    It is somehow a week into the month of August, and yeah … I don’t know how it’s this late in the year because it was literally just January. So to celebrate (?), I’m gonna do something a little different for today’s “on rotation” playlist. I’m going with Songs I Would 100% Sing in Karaoke…

    Until my mid-thirties, I didn’t realize I’d been raised evangelical Christian. Yeah, it was a weird time for me for multiple reasons, but I digress. Over the past several years, I’ve been deconstructing, which has been both incredibly embarrassing but also empowering, but mostly on the side of the former because like … I actually…

    I know I said I was gonna kinda take a backseat and figure out what I wanted to do with this site, but YouTube music has really been giving me a lot of excellent music selections that I want to share with everybody. Granted, I’ve also been listening to a bunch of random music that…

    A lot of shit has happened over the past 30 days. I’ve been busy with work, completed ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) training finally, was invited to be a bridesmaid to my friend’s destination wedding next year (eep!), and I got Covid a second time, which basically depleted the rest of the PTO that was…

    Well, I went to Bonnaroo this year! Will I go back again? Probably, actually, if the lineup intrigues me as much as this year’s did. Was it as iconic as other years? I mean, not really. Sure, Sofi Tukker, Lil Nas X, Rina Sawayama, the Pixies, Tyler Childers, Kendrick Lamar, and the Foo Fighters gave…
