Rock-and-roll house shows: When your friends take out their instruments and play live music in a living room so that you can rock out and also appreciate how rad and talented they are—that's the good stuff.

Going back to work: Vacationing is good, (you need it to rest/think big picture/fall apart and put yourself back together again, all phoenix like), but for me, creative work and the life surrounding that is better.

Finishing a book: Doesn't have to be a good one. Just putting in the work to read all the words and sentences so that you can close the back cover on ’em—it's enough to get you high on the validation of accomplishment.

WTF by Marc Maron: He's a comedian. He's whip smart. He's fired up. His interview-based podcast called What The Fuck delights me. Fave episodes include: RuPaul, Bob Mould, and Martin Starr.
