Have been on a spectacular run of eating unhealthy things for most of the month. I bake things like this millionaire shortbread now and try not to consume it all.
Layered shortbread with caramel and chocolate on top.

This, I suppose, is 46. I had a good weightlifting sesh this morning and my lovely coworkers got me pastries, so things are off to an excellent start.

Photo of yours truly in a blue jacket and white shirt, holding a microphone. I was moderating a panel and film screening about the incomparable Brenda Lee when the photographer caught me in a smirk, so now you get to see it as well.

How about this I will pay you in hugs, half-decent playlists, and retrieval of items from high shelves to do the literal opposite of this for me
A Text Message reading: 
Hi Jon, Ana from [redacted] here, my colleague tried calling you last week about getting you featured in Business Insider & USA Today (pay-on-results model). We came across your Profile/Business and believe you have strong media potential. Can I text you an example?

This transcription service has one thing on its artificial mind. Also, there was no one named “Cortana” on this call.
A transcription of an interview with text that reads, “Hey Cortana.” “Penis.” “That’s right.” No one named Cortana was on this call, nor was penis ever mentioned.

Obligatory snow day photo
A bearded man in a green jacket, gray hoodie, and black beanie stands in his snowy backyard. This is significant because it’s the South and he is also southern and snow has mostly been a rare, mysterious occurrence in his life.

I don’t really like Christmas music because I’m an awful person but I will absolutely ride for the Ornaments doing the Guaraldi album in Nashville every year. A cherished tradition.

I regret to inform you that I am still on my bullshit
I am standing in front of a mirror in a black t-shirt. I’m turned to the side at an angle that makes it look like I’ve got a meaty bicep but it’s all lies. LIES I tell you!

Stayed up well past my old-man bedtime to watch the house legend MK’s DJ set in Nashville. Got told I was cute by a drunk stranger, which I think means that I’ve still very much got it.* *given the right combination of lighting and early hour of the morning

Reintroduction for new followers: I am a former music journalist (most recently Rolling Stone) who now writes for a museum. I’m tall. I’m from the South. I don’t photograph well. I like talking about music, food/booze, gay stuff, weightlifting, Liverpool FC, F1, travel, pop culture and your dog.
