New Hold Steady single streaming here -- I heard it on XPN as I was pulling into the parking lot at Trader Joe's today (wow, I win all the bourgeois points there -- I was listening to member-supported public radio as I pulled my Toyota into the parking lot at Trader Joe's in Princeton.

I slept in until incredibly late today and I feel so good as a result. I do have to do a little work today, putting a powerpoint together, and I worked for a while Saturday night, but for most of today I'm planning to do not much of anything.

Writers have been revealed at no-tags! I wrote a ficlet, Patches for the Holes, in response to the prompt Tom/Jon, post-divorce bff-ness.
