I never really understood the fascination with this record, especially given what a bona fide downer it is. People decorated their vans with this logo. Good record, though. #PinkFloyd #vinyl #VinylRecords

By the time I leave Dublin, I'll look like this

Models wearing woolen scarves in the Old Library at Trinity College. The looks on their faces suggest they've either achieved enlightenment or don't understand where they are.

I didn't realize the perks that come with library card... holdership? Libby is very cool, and Kanopy is great. Watched this film last night on Kanopy, featuring a young Jane Fonda and Alain Delon.

Movie posted for the film "Joy House" (1964).

Local burrito truck El Chile Torreado made the NY Times top 41 Mexican restaurants list. Happy for them, they're totally deserving of the honor, but sad that their line will probably be longer now (and prices higher). 🥲 www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/d...

Lots of smoke from the Frijoles Canyon fire in Santa Fe today. There's usually a large mountain visible from this vantage.

Album cover features hundreds of artificial eyes laid out on a board, their blue irises pointed toward the viewer. , Presumably these were for use in dolls? Anyway, it's a lot of eyes, of varying sizes and shapes, but all with the same icy gaze.

Emily A. Sprague - "Cloud Time" (2025) mlesprg.bandcamp.com/album/cloud-... #NowPlaying #EmilySprague #RVNG #vinyl #VinylRecords

Album cover features two color photographs side by side. To the left is a plant draping onto a sidewalk. To the right is a white painted rectangle on a sidewalk. These are likely photos of scenes in Japan, given that the album was recorded there, and each track is named for a Japanese city and location.

Buckingham Nicks - s/t (1973) I'm not a huge Fleetwood Mac fan, more of a dabbler.. but this is an excellent sounding lp. youtube.com/playlist?lis... #NowPlaying #FleetwoodMac #vinyl #VinylRecords

Album cover features a black and white photograph of LB and SN topless. It's an awkward image that screams of exploitation by the record label, and an odd pairing with what is otherwise a pretty good record.

Hard to see from this photo, but that's a sliver of a moon with a very bright Venus to the upper left and Jupiter to the immediate left. I asked Google what the astrological significance of this conjunction is, and it basically said "good vibes". 🌙
