De-Xmas’d

Radio Free Random's "Studio B" ensconced within the randomness of our library

O noes, I didn’t blog yesterday. Some streak ended I guess. Who cares! Anyway, it’s been all about RFR the last couple days. Check my Mixcloud page for recent marathon streams.

Mrs. R has de-Xmas’d chez Random quite a bit, including the big one today: de-Treeing. It’s now out in the yard debris bin in tiny pieces. We’re done with that holiday. Onward to New Year’s and January. The tree was occupying our “Empty Space” where previously my paintings-that-need-to-be-gone were sitting. I sent a goodly stack of them to the dump last week—and will be sorting further—but in the meantime I suppose they’ll go back to the Empty Space. Well, actually, I guess we need to talk about that. Currently they are sitting on the old recliner in the library. I guess they’re not hurting anyone there. No cat has wanted to use that chair for months.

Back to radio. I set up a tiny Studio B in the library, and that’s where last night’s and this morning’s long shows originated from. It’s fun to be downstairs sometimes while broadcasting. I can putter around and still interact with the listeners and DJ the music. Today’s puttering involved going through my books and culling out a few to sell or donate: “a few” turns out to be a stack about 3 feet high! The need to de-book and de-typewriter (and de-etc.) has become a priority now, with my new commitment to Swedish Death Cleaning and all. I am a one-quarter Swede. 😎

The weather was traitorous today. We were supposed to get “excessive rain” according to The New York Times. But I think they must have been referring to the overnight precip, which was indeed excessive! Today has been horribly glorious, with the sun taunting us mercilessly. We could have hiked! We still could, but it’s getting late. The sun will start dipping and it’ll be dusk before we know it. I guess I’d rather continue to putter here inside. The kitchen needs attention badly, e.g., etc., fwiw.

Okay, there’s a blog. Type atcha later.
