Happy Friday, friends! I cannot believe that this month is just about over. I’m pooped so let’s just go straight to the the Friday 5 – this week’s theme is Sound Tracking.
- What are you listening to?
In addition to the usual lo-fi chillhop Youtube channels during the day, I’ve been asking Alexa to play New Jack-y, hip-hoppy songs from my younger years. Last night it was It Takes Two by Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock, Word Up by Cameo, California Love by 2Pac, and This is How We Do it by Montell Jordan. - What are you hearing?
It’s been very windy and cold the last few days and when the wind blows in a certain direction, it makes the siding/soffets/something vibrate on the back of the house. It’s a very loud HUM and it’s been impossible for us to pinpoint what exactly is vibrating. - What are you turning a deaf ear to?
Anti-vaxxers and vaccine doomsayers. Viruses mutate. Vaccines and boosters will adapt. In the meantime, stay the hell home while the scientists figure things out. - What have you recently overheard?
Not much, since I’m staying the hell home. I do overhear Civics and AP European History Classes every day though. - To whom have you recently lent an ear?
Not very many people, since I’m home.
This weekend I’ll be making Valentine’s Cards for a card swap I’m a part of and I also want to stare at the shelves in my tiny bathroom and see what I can do with them. For now, I’m going to make a snack so I can be awake for movie night.

I love my 90s rap playlist but I can’t listen to it when I’m working. I guess since I’m a writer? Even most of the chill grooves are too distracting — I thinks the wordiness. Beastie Boys usually works okay, though. 🙂
I used to try to listen to Barenaked Ladies but they were VERY wordy.
