The Recently I

Lately, I have been delivering longer posts more than ever, and I think that I’m doing a decent job of that. Not great; decent. But anyway, the reason behind the mini-surge of lengthy posts is that, after a few years of working in my current day job, I found the right balance between doing what I have to do (e.g., my day job, relearning my skills) and doing what I want to do (e.g., enjoying my fandoms, writing here on The Diary).

That being said, I miss writing quick posts, and I haven’t made a new blog series in a long time, so it’s time for the debut of a new one: The Recently. Think of it as a page from a slumbook where I write the recent things I have watched, listened to, eaten, or whatever I have done recently.

Song of the Moment XCIX: Foo Fighters’ “My Hero”

I almost wrote a lengthy Song of the Moment post, but I ended up erasing it entirely. Honestly, tonight, I’d rather prepare myself for my second mind-blowing Foo Fighters show tomorrow night at the Singapore Grand Prix. And one of the things I’m looking forward to is singing along as the ferocious Dave Grohl shreds the guitar and screams these lines from my Song of the Moment, “My Hero”:

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He’s ordinary

The music video of Foo Fighters’ “My Hero”.

Happiest weekend, everyone! See you in the next post!
