New little chickens hung out with the big chickens for a bit today while I worked nearby.
Mostly ok interactions. I can tell which of the older birds is going to be the pecker of the pecking order.
We'll probably start doing this everyday this week. My spouse is handling most of the adjustment process, not sure what the timeline is for them sleeping together at night.
I did not get as much work done as planned bc I kept stopping to make sure everyone was alive and well, lol.

A discussion elsewhere just reminded me of this classic Common performance w/Macy Gray on Leno, and it just made me get super nostalgic for a very particular musical moment, and maybe a personal one, too.
Common - Ghetto Heaven (TSOP Remix version w/Macy Gray)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLBvx1bJ4fY
I remember getting so excited by this and had the foresight to record that ish on VHS. I ran it back IMMEDIATELY, and again, and again.

"And from the opened case spilled his black uniform, like a black nebula, stars glittering here or there, distantly, in the material. I kneaded the dark stuff in my warm hands; I smelled the planet Mars, an iron smell, and the planet Venus, a green ivy smell, and the planet Mercury, a scent of sulphur and fire; and I could smell the milky moon and the hardness of stars. I pushed the uniform into a centrifuge machine I'd built in my ninth-grade shop that year, set it whirling. Soon a fine powder precipitated into a retort. This I slid under a microscope. And while my parents slept unaware, and while our house was asleep [...], I stared down upon brilliant motes of meteor dust, comet tail, and loam from Jupiter glistening like worlds themselves which drew me down the tube a billion miles into space, at terrific accelerations.
At dawn, exhausted with my journey and fearful of discovery, I returned the boxed uniform to their sleeping room."
-- Ray Bradbury, "The Rocket Man"

Just realized Bobby Watson, the main bass player of Rufus, has a Youtube channel talking through old stories and ish, practically teaching the tunes along the way.
Here he is talking about the making of Sweet Thing. Could listen to him talk all day.
Key points:
* He didn't get writer's credit but he contributed several key parts* He played bass for Rufus but had a solid guitar background
* Chaka would often track her vocals at night, not having been around when the band was tracking the tunes originally
* Chaka wrote the words and vocal lines for Sweet Thing in "20 or 30 minutes" (!!! feel like I did hear that before, but still -- mindblowing!)

Although I reading two hefty books right now, the end of the semester has me wanting to line up a whole list of books to binge once grades are submitted.
With that in mind, Pulitzer prizes/finalists just announced. For Fiction, *Angel Down* (Daniel Kraus) wins, with Katie Kitamura's *Audition* and Torrey Peters's *Stag Dance* as finalists.
Angel Down and Audition were both on my big "would like to read" list. Don't know that I've heard of Stag Dance? Not ringing a bell, anyway.

*Ad libitum*
I sing this body ad libitum, Europe scraped raw between my teeth until, presto, “Ave Maria” floats to the surface from a Tituba tributary of “Swanee.” Until I’m a legato darkling whole note, my voice shimmering up from the Atlantic’s hold; until I’m a coda of sail song whipped in salted wind; until my chorus swells like a lynched tongue; until the nocturnes boiling beneath the roof of my mouth extinguish each burning cross. I sing this life in testimony to tempo rubato, to time stolen body by body by body by body from one passage to another; I sing tremolo to the opus of loss. I sing this story staccato and stretto, a fugue of blackface and blued-up arias. I sing with one hand smoldering in the steely canon, the other lento, slow, languorous: lingered in the fields of “Babylon’s Falling” ...

Deep cut, but:
I have a sneaking suspicion that when Prince had Clare Fischer do the strings for Crystal Ball, he said: "You know what you did for Rufus and Chaka Khan's "Egyptian Song"? Do that, but a bit more sinister."
