[257] I dim all the lights and I sink in my chair
Back to work! After a week off that felt like it went by in the blink of an eye! It's a bit of a downer, but I'm looking forward to the opportunity to call for a clean slate and start fresh, so let's do it to it!
My great-aunts have come and gone once again, and it was exhausting, I love them but they are so exhausting, but as my grandmother continues to decline in her... capacities, it's nice that they're making the time to see her as often as they can. My mom invited them to come up for Christmas which sounds ultra-mega-super-exhausting-level-9000, but we'll cross those hurdles when the time comes. It's still Halloween, baby!!
I have been alternating watching Roger Corman Poe adaptations and Elvis movies in whatever scraps of free time I've been able to snatch. I can't tell you why, but that's just where my brain is at right now.
All Out was fantastic and deserves its own post. An absolute statement of a pay-per-view, in completely different ways than All In was. I still don't know if the back-to-back shows gambit was necessarily a good one, but damn if they didn't pull it off and give me my money's worth of professional wrestling. The main event made me cry, haha!
I ordered one of the new Mighty McGriddles to break my fast this morning, except I needed to make it ten bucks for free delivery so I added an extra egg and cheese as well and then ate the entire thing. Why do I hate my body so much? What, exactly, did it do to me to deserve such ire?
Finally beat Giovanni in Pokemon Go. Feels good.
Wikipedia Sez: In the Wee Small Hours is the ninth studio album by American vocalist Frank Sinatra. It was released in April 1955 by Capitol and produced by Voyle Gilmore with arrangements by Nelson Riddle. All the songs on the album deal with themes such as loneliness, introspection, melancholy, desolation, lost love, failed relationships, depression, and night life. The cover artwork reflects these themes, portraying Sinatra alone on an eerie and deserted city street at night awash in blue-tinged street lights. In the Wee Small Hours has been called one of the first concept albums.
Genre: Vocal, Jazz
Styles: Traditional Pop, Vocal Jazz, Vocal Pop
Release Date: April 25th, 1955
Prior Familiarity: High.
What I Did While Listening: Wrote some more fanfic. It got kinda depressing in response, I think! Science.
Verdict: I really appreciate the idea of strictly themed albums, but gosh it's a bit of a maudlin slog in practice, huh? I love a lot of these songs a lot, but taken as a whole, yeesh, it's a real wrist-slitter. What's this? Another song about being sad about a breakup? Wow, what a twist!
