1/10/2024: every edit of that "you're listening to" meme that ends with imagine dragons that does like, a thematic cover of the song is missing the point. the whole joke is that radioactive by imagine dragons doesn't fit the hard rock station. that's the whole reason it's funny that's the punchline. annoys me every time i see it.

10/13/2023: i saw a real ice cream truck for the first time today. like the kind that just drives around and plays music. i've lived in the middle of nowhere for my whole life so i've just never experienced this before. and i'm sure the ice cream is good but wow that song is annoying. and it's so loud!

9/14/2023: you know those big tv screens that play the news that show up in movies when they need exposition. those aren't real are they. can you imagine living in an apartment across the street from one of those. they're loud enough that anyone on the sidewalk (or more often standing on a building across from them) can hear them. that would be the worst.

9/4/2023: "lagoon" is such a wonderful word.
