Got a little more sleep last night - in that I got to sleep by 11:30, woke up at 1, then at 3, then at 5:45 with alarm.
( explanation on sleep )
I'm going to try to go to bed earlier tonight. See if that helps?

Found on Twitter and tempting.. In Celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Album 69 LOVE SONGS - The Magnetic Fields are performing in NYC at Town Hall in April 2024, with the former and current band members (Except for the one who died in 2020).
The Magnetic Fields' awesome triple CD opus 69 Love Songs turns 25 next year, and to celebrate they've announced a series of shows featuring the album's original players, happening in NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and North Adams, MA.
Claudia Gonson, John Woo, Sam Davol, Shirley Simms and Stephin Merritt will all be there, along with current Magnetic Fields members Chris Ewen and Anthony Kaczynski. (LD Beghtol, who sang on the album, died in 2020.) 69 Love Songs will be played in full over two nights in each city, with NYC getting two full performances of the album across four days at Town Hall on April 3 & 4 and April 5 & 6.
They write quirky songs. Which I either love to pieces, or hate. But there isn't any in 69 Love Songs that I don't enjoy.
Absolutely Cuckoo...and other songs from the album on youtube

Romance plot or sub plot - I suppose I can't do the book that I'm currently reading twice? Poses a problem. Ponders.
Well, I haven't read this one yet - and it's in my queue...Much Ado about Nada by Uzma Jalaluddin It's a contemporary retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion, which is among my favorite Austen's.
( what it is about )
Looks interesting. Also kind of jumps in the face of romance naysayers who state that you can't gain knowledge or anything interesting from a romance. Please. You've clearly not read enough of the genre.
Actually I believe you can obtain something memorable or be changed or get a new perspective from any work of art, regardless of its acclaim. Art like humor and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
