I came across this video while helping out a friend who is having jambalaya tonight, because having and especially cooking jambalaya without listening to Fats Domino is kind of sinful. I’m sharing it with you because of the two absolutely outstanding saxophone solos and also the completely inexplicable yo-yo guy. The one guy waving a hankie ends up playing the trumpet eventually. The other guy? He’s a mystery.

Where to find me on the Internets: 2025 Edition
I chose that image because I am convinced that you’re supposed to see the word “fucking” in the first five logos, despite the Instagram image being in the way, and I’m trying to figure out what to do with the rest of it.
Anyway, I haven’t done a social media roundup in a while, and I keep turning things off, so in the absence of anything else to talk about (that said, I’m ranting on Bluesky right now) let’s list off my accounts.
- Infinitefreetime.com. You’re here now. If you’re not here right now I’m very confused. This is the only one of these accounts that is never ever Going Away.
- Microblogging is handled on Bluesky, at @infinitefreetime.com. I will probably cross over 3000 followers this weekend. Whee!
- I really really really want more StoryGraph followers, so if you use that app, please send me a friend request at, wait for it, infinitefreetime. I’ll follow you back! I promise!
- I’m still on Goodreads! My profile picture there is ancient and I should update it.
- I’m not updating my YouTube channel any longer, but you can find it at lutherplaysgames.com anyway. You never know, I might get back into it eventually.
God, is that it? I think that’s it. I’m not on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, Google+. was never actually real, I don’t recognize that green app up there, and I don’t really post on TikTok so I don’t need any followers over there. I shut down my Mastodon account and was never on Threads. I’m on Reddit, but don’t post very often? I don’t even know if Reddit really has any follower/friend features.
Anyway, point is, go follow me on Bluesky and Storygraph. Please.
Not tonight
Writing tomorrow’s lessons took a thousand years, and I still have to do postcards and Arabic tonight, so … yeah.
Wanna watch a Pearl Jam show?
EDIT: Well, shit. They haven’t, like, blocked me specifically despite what the statement says. Just click through, it’s a good show. 🙂
Today was a long week
I don’t know if you’ve ever taken 8th graders on a field trip or not. I suspect you probably haven’t. And since I was primarily responsible just for my advisory, who I love, and about four other kids who I didn’t hand-select but I might as well have, it really wasn’t a bad or stressful field trip at all. The kids behaved admirably and I was proud of them. But Jesus, trying to keep constant track of 21 people out in public all at the same time is exhausting, and once we got back to school they (entirely predictably) decided that they’d all collectively had enough of their best behavior for the day, and then actual fucking sex assault drama blew up in the 8th grade, and … yeah, I wanted to talk about LL Cool J tonight and I just don’t have the spoons.
That said, watch this, especially the verse that starts at about 58 seconds, and see if you can figure out when this motherfucker is breathing. Dude has been rapping since 1985 and I’ve never seen anything from him like this.
It’s Sunday and I don’t wanna
Been a slug all day today, and I’ve got nothing in particular I want to talk about. So instead I’m going to have to insist that you watch this entire video of this man trying to destroy testing a Cybertruck. I’ve seen clips of it all over the place but the whole video is so much worse than I was expecting.
Okay, that was better
Much more manageable day today, in accordance with the law of averages. That said, this is gonna be another short post, on account of I need to finish the new Sarah J. Maas book before bed or I’ll die.
Quick random thought, though: on a scale of 1-10, how ironic and/or pathetic is it for a middle-aged middle-school math teacher to listen to Killing in the Name on his way home from work at a volume understandable from inside nearby restaurants and retail establishments? While headbanging and screaming along?
Asking for a friend.
Music Rec Sunday
I tried to come up with something properly alliterative, but “Song Sunday” sounds kinda stupid so to hell with it.
Anyway, I’ve been on a reggae kick lately for the first time in a while, and I’m betting that unless you’re into reggae or you spend a lot of time on TikTok, you’ve probably not heard of Queen Omega, so let’s fix that. This song, Agape Love, is one of my favorites by her. Check it out.
