I'm very tired. It's been a very long year capped off with a very long month. Capped off further with some weird issues with Zoom where the audio didn't record right and it created a constant buzzing noise. So it goes.

Also, Jill couldn't join us this year due to personal issues. We're hopeful she'll be back next month.

But, in the meantime, Josh and I still had a good time trading our picks this year. Josh has his usual blend of sincerely touching, weird, and funny. I sorta get the whole Wendy's thing.

I used my spot this year for a new creative pursuit. I used my binaural mics to record the sound of Christmas music around Philadelphia. Until they broke. Then I used the internal mics on my Zoom H5 and my phone. They're not quite the same, and the phone is not very good at all, but I do enjoy the texture of it all and I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. You can hear the whole piece without commentary on my bandcamp.

I've gotta clean up more cat pee. We'll be back next year and Platonic Polyamory will be back in January. Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I sincerely wish the best to whoever finds this and enjoy these weird little things we do.
