[305] is there anybody going to listen to my story all about the girl who came to stay?
As promised, the temperature has finally plummeted to our usual winter bullshit levels, so none of the vehicles people left here overnight (or longer!) are starting, and I am once again very grateful that I'm only the second lowest person in the service department totem pole, I do not envy the porters having to spend the horrible frigid days running back and forth out there, boosting cars and dealing with all this shit. I have my space heater and I have a granola bar, and all of my annoyances about stupid customers and salespeople and service advisors seem to fall away and feel real petty for a little while in the face of forty below.
There appears to be a new COMING SOON sign in the former location of our in-dealership sandwich shoppe, so that's exciting. Little things!
After really enjoying starting my days with some yoga so far this year, I have taken the drastic measure of waking up an hour earlier on a work day to keep up the habit. It's always seemed like such a non-starter of a solution to so many problems for me, but really, if I'm not getting enough sleep anyway, is three hours truly that much worse than four? Is that last hour really adding that much? And not hitting snooze right up until my hard out means I have more freedom to not have to drag myself out of bed in the middle of an REM cycle and want to die, so... idk, we'll see if I can keep it up. Felt good today, if nothing else!
Wikipedia Sez: Rubber Soul is the sixth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on 3 December 1965 in the United Kingdom on EMI's Parlophone label, accompanied by the non-album double A-side single "Day Tripper" / "We Can Work It Out". The original North American release, issued by Capitol Records, contains ten of the fourteen songs and two tracks withheld from the band's Help! album. Rubber Soul was described as an important artistic achievement by the band, meeting a highly favourable critical response and topping sales charts in Britain and the United States for several weeks.
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: British Invasion, Contemporary Pop/Rock, Folk-Rock, Psychedelic/Garage, Rock & Roll, AM Pop
Release Date: December 3rd, 1965
Prior Familiarity: Pretty good! It's the Beatles!
What I Did While Listening: Knocked out the first challenge mission from The Walk. I was planning on listening to it twice through to get there, actually, but then when it finished, Spotify threw some Talking Heads at me and like, FINE, IF YOU INSIST.
Verdict: Amazing highs, and the songs that just kinda feel like Beatles filler on their own merits maintain the atmosphere so perfectly, this is just a brilliant album to get lost in for a little while, and then Run for Your Life is just such an insane vibe-killer to end on. I love it.
Favourite Song: Nowhere Man
