Asparagus is the greenest-tasting vegetable.

Acorn squash tastes better, but butternut squash has a better texture.

In the town where I grew up there is an establishment called Bub’s Brewery. Visitors/newcomers will say “Bubb’s”. But locals know it is pronounced “Boob’s”. You can tell how long someone has lived in the area by how much of a straight face they are able to keep.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Suddenly, I noticed a faint smell of tuna. I looked over at my office partner, Dr. Hunt. She was grinning by the machine she'd built.

"It works!"

"Nice," I said. "What is it?"

"What you smell is the ghost of tuna!"

I felt something brush against my leg. The office filled with ghostly purring.

I didn't know that outlaw country was a thing, but it sounds like a thing and now if "Cowboy" ever comes up, I'm just gonna be like, "Yeah, I think that's outlaw country."

On account of being a weird nerd, I can really only place music in context (genre or otherwise) when it comes to classical and, to a lesser extent, jazz and some kinds of trad/folk. Otherwise, I'm just like, "I dunno, it's pretty poppy, I guess?" so whatever you tell me, I'll just believe you.

For #WorldOctopusDay we'd like to share with you this rare octopus skeleton that was found at the Palace.

An empty glass display box that, crucially, contains no bones.

I will be holding down the low end (cello/bass) for a show with my friend Liz Camozzi on the 23rd at Aster Cafe. Should be a good and chill evening.

I did turn it on last night so my wife didn’t have to get up to a cold house at the ungodly hour she starts her day.

Happy World Octopus Day! To celebrate, here’s the first piece in my series of Octopolis tarot cards: The Fool!
#octopolis #worldoctopusday #octopus #tarot

$A digital illustration within a tarot card frame titled ‘The Fool’. The images is of a mimic octopus bursting through the surface of the ocean into a sunlit day. The octopus is covered in many colored stripes. It holds one arm up through which light refracts. In another arm it holds a bundle of kelp. Beneath the water is a yellow cuttlefish looking very happy.$

Roundwound strings. Most of my electric basses are set up with flatwound strings, which are easier on the finger skin, and orchestral strings are by definition all flatwound.

Couldn’t figure out why my fingers weren’t holding up to the pizzicato sections at orchestra rehearsal tonight until I remembered the hours that I put in over the weekend on my electric bass with rounds.

$84 is a lot more my budget range for headphones and I like the looks too. How’s the construction and fit? Specifically, is there enough metal that the headband/hinge won’t fatigue and break and will it fit those of us who are cranially gifted?
