bang!, AJR

 while i was out errand-running on a day off, i heard a catchy song on my car radio. it was 'bang!' by AJR. the video takes place in a gambling casino, surrounding a craps table. the outfits of the band does not change, but they constantly do on the other people surrounding the table. at one point these other people are naked. it was memorable because the lyrics often include 'here we go', kind of nice to have a spoken part in a song. it is called 'bang' because the line in the song is 'go out with a bang'. i went on a walk in the evening and found 4 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when sheldon got a new, younger rival, albeit briefly, a refugee from north korea. it was followed by howard finding out his space mission was moved up. so he wondered what to do about the wedding to bernadette as it creates a scheduling conflict. i am pleased with much of the things i got done today, just didn't get to all of it. but it wasn't do to lack of trying. the one thing left was going to the DMV. tried going to the one in st. paul on university avenue, but the line was too long. it was out the door and i didn't feel like waiting outside in the cold. guess it means trying one in the suburbs on my next day off, which is over a week from now. i still dropped off recycling, and got to the post office. i sent two cards to family, as well as a form to the test scoring company to let them know i am unavailable. and i made it to walgreen, a larger order than typical. there was nine items bought, not just getting lunch but also bar soap and laundry soap. it was nice to see the photo guy i know, who only works weekdays now so i will only see him if i go on a day off like this one. i also liked listening to a lecture on zoom, another one from the american historical association. this one was about epidemics and plagues, relevant as there is a pandemic at this time. it reminded me of how smallpox was a plague, but it was a while ago so sometimes now is largely forgotten. not as recent as the flu epidemic of 1918 or the polio epidemics of the mid-20th century, all of which were covered in this lecture. this is one good way to be using my membership, one of just two that i kept when i needed to cut back after i was laid off in 2017. not much in the mail, at the post office or at home, and i like it that way.
