Just the other day I was wondering when Mariel Buckley will come out with something new. Looks like she has an album, titled Strange Trip Ahead, that'll be released in October!
Two tracks are up on Bandcamp already, and if this is the vibe for the whole album, then I'm really looking forward to it. It's consistent with her usual style, but new material.
Her sound is unpolished rough-at-the-edges country; it reminds me of the stuff from the '90s and earlier that I grew up with, except also with a vaguely gay vibe. Very nostalgic without actually being from the period.

Air quality this weekend was, to quote The Weather Channel, "Atrocious and unsafe". Wow. (It's smoke blowing in from Saskatchewan.) Anyway, I stayed inside for my stat holiday today, which is not how I wanted things to go.
Stuff that I did this past weekend:
+ Went to a coworker's birthday party
+ Went for a coffee meetup organized by the local pride group
+ Did some reading (but not as much as I'd have liked)
+ Hauled out my watercolours and did some paintings
+ Brainstormed some fic concepts (that I don't have time for at the moment but maybe at some future point), specifically some NL/DK/NO and also some NL/NO, the latter will probably require research but we'll see.
+ Had planned to do some writing for IIBB but found myself exhausted. So. That will have to be... later. (I'm in the "I hate this fic" editing stage.)
( Watercolour stuff )

(I owe so many people comments, replies, etc etc etc and I am so behind. I swear I will get to these I swear it.)
It's been a very very cold and wet and rainy July here. Honestly, I'm living. I can't stand the heat and things are getting hotter and hotter with every year. But while I realise that things getting wetter and colder isn't necessarily the good thing I hope it is (AMOC my beloved, please remain strong...), it does have the side effect that ( the autumn mushroom season has already begun. )

I had to get up at 5:45 AM in order to make an important phone call to Deal With A Thing.
I think I deserve a gold star for Getting Things Done.
(The Thing is not actually dealt with; I had to send in some documentation. Which means that at some point I'm going to have to get up at 5:45 AM again to make another phone call.)
You know, this kind of nonsense is not something I ever expected to encounter in life. Ah, well.
