In the post Jawbreaker/Jets to Brazil world we have Thorns of Life. Wait for 1:42 - if that isn’t channelling the past ghosts of bygone Jawbreaker, I don’t know what is. I should also mention, I’ve always like Cometbus on the drums - all the way back to Crimpshrine.
What was going to be a very low-key weekend ended being a lot of fun. Got home late on Friday night and managed to sleep in a little on Saturday before going to the farmer’s market. Friends were coming up to check out the neighborhood so we invited them to dinner. Picked up scallops for a quick app, clams for linguine with clams, and some nice bread. This was before the skies opened and I quickly dashed home as I had James with me in the stroller but no rain cover - oops!
I spent the afternoon down at school with my new writing group - am getting motivated! Then had a chill evening hanging out with friends. The boy was way too excited by all this activity and didn’t go to bed until 11 - fortunately he slept well once he did go and only woke up once to nurse before finally waking up at 9:45 - “thanks for letting mommy and daddy sleep in!”
I had to work in the morning and Mike went to pick up his bike and then late afternoon we all went down to Dinosaur Barbecue to have an early dinner with Frank and Laurel. Good company, a few margaritas and lots of wings :) A good end to the weekend.
