Month: December 2025

Oops. That was the least Friday-feeling (speaking of superlatives) Friday ever. Sorry about that. In my defense, I have utterly nothing to say for myself. However, it is still Friday here at Friday 5 HQ — 10:49 in the evening, to be exact. The post’s date will show December 27 because I have it set to GMT, which is my standard deadline for posting these. Haha. Ha.

I’m seeing Tool in concert Friday and Saturday nights. A band I love, whom I’ve seen before. It was a slow year for concerts in this city, so I’m extremely stoked. I may even have to journal about it online. When I do the Friday 5, of coruse.
