Song of the Moment LXXII: Velvet Revolver’s “Slither”
Because I was so tired from yesterday’s happenings, I spent today at home watching episodes of Daredevil (Season 1), the iconic Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (one of Elder Brother’s favorite movies), and the entire Season 3 of Marvel’s What If…?. I love weekends like this.
And to cap off the night, I’m drinking my favorite Jack and Coke Zero while listening to “Slither”, my favorite song from the hard rock supergroup Velvet Revolver. The band consists of Guns N’ Roses’ Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum, Wasted Youth’s Dave Kushner, and Stone Temple Pilots’ Scott Weiland (God rest his soul), and they are my favorite supergroup next to Them Crooked Vultures. (I mentioned the Vultures in a previous Song of the Moment.)
Oh, man… I should listen to Velvet Revolver’s studio albums Contraband and Libertad after listening to “Slither” on repeat. Their albums are simply fantastic and nostalgic. (They are nostalgic because they were a part of my “college commute” playlist when I was a sophomore. Damn. I miss my iPod Nano and the good times. The commute during rush hour… not so much.)
Until the next post.

10-Minute Warning CLXV
All right. I’m supposed to write a longer post, but I opened my WordPress at 11:40pm. What can I share under 10 minutes?
Well, I really, really had a long day. I woke up earlier as I promised this week, but my sleep was not good, so I felt groggy. But I forced myself to do my morning rituals, fueled myself with extra-strong coffee, then ran today’s errands… and there were a lot of errands. My smartwatch is so happy that I got to walk 6,000 steps before lunchtime, and I honestly didn’t feel tired until I ran my last errand: having a watch fixed. I waited on the bench for several minutes, and I almost fell asleep. Looks like my extra-strong coffee is not strong enough.
With the caffeine out of my system already, I walked to the nearest Army Navy and ordered my favorite chicken burrito with extra orange cheese and a Coke Zero as my beverage. Once again, my heart and tummy are happy. (And this is why I’m fat.) After that, I enjoyed a slower walk around the area.
Crap. My 10 minutes is almost up. That’s it for now. Happy weekend, everyone.
