lyrics

spoiler"Ontario"

I know what my weaknesses are Probably better than you do Revolutionary Chinese propaganda The color of blue

I thought I knew what my weaknesses were anyway And then the orange tree blossomed last Saturday And there was nothing in it but pain for me

I know what can hurt me real bad And what can't hurt me anymore I know how to rise up with the sun And I am learning what sleep's good for

I thought I'd figured out the world in its circular way Then I saw the sun fall out of the sky the other day There was nothing in it but pain for me

Squirrels climbing trees in bloom Soft yellow light spilling into the room My favorite records My favorite books

The people I loved The people I almost loved Light beckoning, wind whistling Hey hey, hey hey

Daybreak, river rolling Hey, hey La la la la

it's a fictional tv show and not a book, but the fx show "The Americans" does a pretty good job of covering 80s era Cold War topics (Apartheid South Africa, Communist Ethiopia, Sandinistas, Afghanistan). It added a bit of flavor to my understanding of those events. a good, surprisingly sympathetic (to ussr/communism) show

"FitNotes" the workout app, because i've been using it for 7(?) years now to track my workout progress over the years and love the data/analytics. pretty user friendly, not super powerful, but great for tracking exercises.

and since google no longer supports music player apps outside of youtube, i guess Spotify, cuz that's the only way to listen to music nowadays. shout out to a friend who added me to his premium years ago
