Blue Saturday

Been seeing that one for a while. End up feeling bad about letting my children pay for my funeral.

I mean not bad enough to do anything about it but hey.

Just caught a bit of a livestream by Hull's own Black Elvis, and after he'd finished a blazing "Burning Love" he was thanking people in all the different countries watching him, he mentioned Norway and his partner chipped in with Sweden and he said "well that's part of Norway" ❤️❤️

:D

Walking the dog on Saturday afternoon I interrupted three gents (late 50s?) sitting on logs in a corner of a field sheepishly drinking cans and chatting.

Thanks Hadrian that compilation is class

glad to hear it!

Knew Saturday would be a bad day to go to Aldi but when you're out of food you're out of food.

triple berry hot cross buns tho

i don't really know where to put the observation that pretending Little and Large were ever funny is some of the most shocking revisionist history i've ever seen

Feels like all the minor celebrities that died before the last 5 years really missed out; since 2015 every cunt gets the Diana treatment for a day at least

it's a strange one when being piss-poor is one of the only aspects of your notability

soon as i dressed for a walk the sky went dark ffs

what size is yr cap

i thought the sunshine would do me good tbh

by the time i've finished going thru the automatic phone system to order a repeat prescription there's a good chance it'll be summer tbf

xp lol sorry i think i've just got it

heh

i don't know where to put this but

*bad ass riff*

say what you like about the tenets of mawkish sadness, at least it's an ethos

That is a booming dn though.

For real

gonna sit here for a bit

Astyages had a daughter, whom he called Mandane: concerning whom he had a dream, that enough water flowed from her to fill his city and overflow all Asia. He imparted this vision to those of the Magi who interpreted dreams, and when he heard what they told him he was terrified: and presently, Mandane being now of marriageable age, he feared the vision too much to give her to any Median worthy to mate with his family, but wedded her to a Persian called Cambyses, a man whom he knew to be well born and of a quiet temper: for Astyages held Cambyses to be much lower than a Mede of middle estate.

But in the first year of Mandane's marriage to Cambyses Astyages saw a second vision. He dreamt that there grew from his daughter a vine, which covered the whole of Asia. Having seen this vision, and imparted it to the interpreters of dreams, he sent to the Persians for his daughter, then near her time, and when she came kept her guarded, desiring to kill whatever child she might bear: for the interpreters declared that the meaning of this dream was that his daughter's offspring should rule in his place.

Jesus Haribo Christ it's warm

It’s so bad

I like the warm but ffs, got a fan on my bed tho lol

If i could strip skin i would be doing so

*off my own

Good Cher single

Such a deep luxurious blue today, my thick quilty armor stitched from equal parts loneliness and freedom, such a gorgeous sadness I just wanna roll in it. Wish the sun would join me but as long as the rain doesn't fall I am going out to revel in being alone amongst friends and strangers. The syrup of melancholy, the maraschino of the blues.

The syrup of melancholy, the maraschino of the blues

I keep hearing this in the gravelly Leonard Cohen voice but really it is quite the line.

no poetry like sentimentalizing fuckery :D

Later, when I'm hungover and my mouth tastes like a burnt out cigar, this is to remind me that today has been really good and coloured with love and friendship

*hat tip*

They’re selling Christmas cards at the scope shop

That was a purely unintentional desolation row homage lol

how can it ever be Christmas when 2020 has lasted a hundred years?

Of ffs soz

l'imaginaire is my worst frenemy

feel so at odds with the universe

(that's all, just putting it here to stop this feeling going round my head on loop and maybe I can get on with having other thoughts instead. sorry to interrupt your day)

I feel that. Have felt depressed this week, which I blame on going out for dinner last week and it hitting me like a tonne how much i miss people. I have been someone who is a loner since I was old enough to walk, this is really strange for me.

maybe a breakthru i had in counselling this year was realising i'm always gonna be at least a bit at odds with this society and that's ok, it's a bad society, i don't wanna belong to it

the rona has brought in whole new layers of boring dystopia, even the escape routes that used to be normally available have been closed or curtailed. the words "new normal" are on my death list like "these times" but if this is going to be our world for the foreseeable then i'm trying not to think too hard about it, the extra sheets of glassy isolation between us, the pseudo-curfews, the closing down of what world there is

there were some good things and some pleasures to be found in the lockdown, but now all we've got is shitty England consumerworld, now with fewer bonus features. sooner i can afford to drink more the better.

ach, the feelings come and go
