i'm thankful that though i yelled very loudly at miso yesterday evening because i was very tired from strenuous troubleshooting and just wanted to focus for a few more minutes so i could finish my work and turn off my brain and she barked at me that she wanted to go out but then, once i let her out, immediately started barking to come back in, and i yelled very loudly at her through the sliding glass door and then felt bad about it a split second later, as you do, and opened the door but then she wouldn't come in, even when i lured her with a treat, because she was skittish, which made me feel worse, and so i sat there near the door in my office chair as the cold air from outside blew in which was frustrating until eventually she decided to come in and i apologized and rubbed her sides with the flats of my hands
i'm thankful that later she nuzzled against me as i fell asleep on the couch, which is not something she usually does. i'm thankful for falling asleep on the couch, even though i wish i didn't do it as often.
i'm thankful that there is a new billie eilish song, "
therefore i am," and like many billie eilish songs it's catchy and will be fun to listen to in the car with d, even though i do not think "rapping" is billie's strongest vocal mode (whereas the use of rap signifiers in the production over the ouevre is great, that sub bass) and the melodies used remind me unfavorably of the
munsters-theme-core of "
bad guy" and i will recommend that you do not watch
the video, which besides taking a potentially interesting setting and doing absolutely nothing with it also unforgivably chops up the song into chunks that diminish the gestalt of the song, which improves a tier or two in quality just from being uninterrupted (i know that was all very negative so i will shout out "
my future" which i think is her best song both lyrically and sonically (and has
a good video))
i'm thankful that it rained heavily all night because that's my favorite sleep sound, even though it made it hard to get out of bed to work out this morning. i'm thankful i got out of bed to work out this morning nonetheless.
