November 2025

Hi hello and welcome I'm very excited for my first blog post!! Sometimes it feels life goes slow... but when I take time to look back at all I've done and accomplished I realise I'm doing so much! On November 1 I saw a Day of the Dead celebration for the first time. The costumes were so beautiful and elaborate and I saw some great ceremonial dancing.
This past month I saw some great shows, I saw Fleshwater at the end of October which was so phenomenal. They released one of my favourite albums ever and their headline show was one of the best I've seen in a long time. Their singer Marisa absolutely nailed it, the sound was fantastic and they used their stage set and lighting in a really creative and intentional way to create a world we stepped into for the night. Besides that I went to a benefit show run by my local tenants union and saw a stoner doom metal band and a fun folk punk band that played an epic cover of the Halloween theme on banjo even though we were in November at this stage. I wanted to see Wednesday live but their show was sold out... but their show being sold out led me to their website and their singer Karly's website... which led me down the rabbithole of the indie web that I had a lot of fun with, and led me to make this very website which I've really enjoyed and am very proud of
It was my friend's 27th birthday and I got to visit her new house for the first time and we ate burgers and watched cartoons and it was nice. Me and my other friend are getting through the first season of Wire and basically I feel very protective over Lance Reddick (rip) if I had the skills I would make a fancam of him. Maybe I'll make a shrine of him on here actually.
I started a ceramics course to learn how to use the pottery wheel. It's really fun to get my hands dirty and make a mess with the clay but throwing on the wheel can be really frustrating sometimes!! My goal is to make funky little mugs or something.
For Thanksgiving this year I decided to host a small get together in my apartment. I cooked A LOT of food. I was told my roast potatoes were particularly special. I don't really host parties or make big plans or anything. This was my first time ever really hosting anything intentional in my adult life. I played Roy Ayers and The Meters all night, some Modest Mouse at the end and we watched a flat earth documentary (don't ask...). We were up all night talking and cuttin up. It was really fun and wholesome and developed some really great friendships.
I'm grateful for a lot right now, but I also worry a lot.I wonder often how we will get out of the self destructive mess we've made as humanity... how will we overcome the immense greed that permeates our society and save the one precious earth we have and all her special and unique species?Sometimes I worry about the future. How old will I be when my home town is covered in water? Until next month xxx
