Weekend Guide: 10.15.2021
scream with me
No fan fare this week. Getting right down to it! I made an hour long playlist called Scream With Me 👻 . Some classics, a few outsider cuts — you know the drill. Most of the songs lean dark. See if you can spot the one that doesn’t belong.1
I am reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce. If you know you know. It’s taking a bit of a toll on me, and requiring some more brain power than I may actually have.
This is my first time reading Joyce. If anyone has experience, get at me. I am confused. But in a good way. Hard to explain.

Have a beautiful weekend. As always, if you are feeling generous, share Weekend Guide with a friend, loved one, or your best friend who you are in love with. I say this with peace and love.
Eric Clapton Unplugged was the most popular CD in the world for a time. My dad used to replay the beginning of “Layla” where Clapton says, jokingly, “see if you can spot this one”.
For some reason my dad thought it was funny. We never actually listened to “Layla” - just Clapton saying “see if you can spot this one” over..and over. Laughing.
I have never liked Eric Clapton. He is a rabid anti-vaxer and noted lunatic. So, seriously.. fuck him!
