As promised here,

I uploaded what I think of as my "Leonard Cohen song":

rd95, thenewgreen

Not yet mastered, but mostly done - still waiting on my friend to record some violin for it, and to do some minor tweaking.

Lyrics:

Pulling the last red hair from my beard/

You wrote your name in the bathroom mirror/

Tracing the outline of your hand on a still warm bruise/

Now I know why you slept in your shoes.

I saw your face in the back of a farmer's almanac/

could've sworn your eyes were brown/

I am losing the last names of all my exes/

may they never be found.

Wiping away all the dry blood where the skin was torn/

You left your mark on the back of the door/

Scraping a coin on my neck where the skin turned blue/

let's see what's behind door number two

I wrote your name on the back of a dusty photograph/

of an old coastal town/

I am losing my last chance with all my exes/

may I never be found.

(sex)

But anyway

I have a job now! Hosting at an upscale restaurant every weekend. The work itself is pretty enjoyable, but the commute is not awesome, and I don't make tips. Still, happy to have work, and some sense of consistency in my week.

All the open mics I would be going to normally are cancelled this week on account of... Cubs. Let's hope they make it.
