what are you into right now?

carrots and hummus (but not just any hummus, only this locally made stuff that's $2.50 a tub and has 0 preservatives and tastes just like homemade bcz it p much is)
GFOTY's 9-minute Secret Mix, esp the song "KISS" that comes in at 6:00

contemplating the idea that Ireland has a monsoon season.
Trying to wake up enough to complete a waistcoat and maybe start a pair of jeans.
Punk 45 protopunk edition even if the booklet doesn't appear to have been proofread
Kikagaku Moyo Mammatus Clouds

The free teas I have to work through that I was given in Healthwise my local health food shop.

Pondering whether I should boycott the Honourable Woman because it has an Israeli heroine and seems to portray the Palestinians in a dodgy light. But otherwise seems to be a good series. Does look like it has some very dodgy Israelis appearing who may be downright evil though.

i am super into reducing stress, drumming, brian eno, learning, and not much else tbh

oh also meeting new people

oh yeah reducing stress is a good one for me too, although i've been fairly unsuccessful thus far

i'm going to see a therapist! during work hours because much of my stress is work related!

hah, mine too! i'm doing the same, just not during work hours

LL do you love the new Eno & Hyde album?

i haven't listened to it yet! maybe today is the day.

oh it is SO wonderful

it is really great!

brian eno is some kind of magic man

ll have u heard jon hassell's "dream theory in malaya"? it has eno's influence all over it and i'm kind of obsessed w/ it atm

so many wonderful things have eno's influence all over them
that is part of his magic!
i feel like his influence is all over me, even!

i forgot that i am also into smelling like roses (like rose oil and spraying my face with rose water when i feel it's necessary)

Moving to a new room where I can spread out!
Cleaning, refreshing
Getting ready to pick burdens back up soon and be serious

to pick burdens back up soon
does this have a specific meaning? idgi

your new room is gonna be so much bigger! i remember it!

smelling like roses is agl or should i say ags

Oh my newsletter was on break for 2 mos and I was kinda burned out on it before but I have to recommit and spend real time & effort developing it and growing my sources, finding stories, etc.

Also have stopped cleaning house or really cooking or anything over the summer.

And my movement/politics world connections are getting good enough now that I have to exploit them more and not back off from that challenge. Possible leadership role in one org being opened up for me but will take work to secure.

And if I don't get this job offer I've been waiting a few weeks for, I'll have to double down on finding employment.

you are a smooth operator, io!

lol also social justice orgs are desperate for ppl who can/will take responsibility for things. Volunteer, natch.

ooh, into the big room, the one with the little room just off it that I slept in when you RESCUED me? (Still owe you a huge, huge favour and wish I had the right connections to make any difference at all wrt employment, but you are in there with the right people anyway!)

i started listening to brian eno last month for the first time; it was a bit gap in my musical knowledge. Warm Jets and Apollo and Tiger Mountain are all excellent

this cigarette. i've been pretty health conscious for a while but o man

Borges, like for real!!! It's thought provoking and beautifully written and also -- most importantly -- very short, which is perfect for someone w/ my attention span.

Also, as of about an hour ago, D'Angelo

I really need to read this book of Borges non-fiction that I bought about 10 years ago and has sat on a shelf since. It's called The Total Library.
Making hats, just making my first one.
Trying to perfect making waistcoats since I think the one I just completed has too shallow pockets

eating more fruit, less junk
...except this here pack of choco-banana pocky, which I am also p. into rn
working through a tea selection pack
listening to Acid King III*

* why did nobody tell me there was a band that sounded like a cross between how I imagined Monster Magnet to sound before I heard them and Bardo Pond? ok metal dudes, laugh at me now

Kolchak the night stalker the mid 70s horror/detective show. Wonder why nobody's picked this up for a movie version or update. Strikes me as something somebody else would be dying to toy with.
Especially in the light of discovering recently that they updated Ironsides a couple of years ago

sleeping in the middle of my full bed instead of on the side (this is something I've never done before and it makes me feel like fuckin' royalty)

When I have an empty bed I like to sleep diagonally

My ex used to do that even when the bed was not empty but then would vehemently deny that he did it!

even when i'm on my own i tend to hang off the side of the bed.

I am super into local historical societies that put up detailed histories online -- Roseville & Rocklin in the Sacramento area have done some really awesome work with long histories provided by local historians & it's kind of awesome.

Making psychedelic clothing. Just finished a shirt and jeans this week.
Cutting the time it takes me to make each garment down. Hoping to half it at least.
Doctor Who watching binge. Finished Troughton who I really like but wish had more video remaining instead of being audio and photo stills.
Now watching Peter Davison who is about ok but not classic.

Raymond Queneau's Zazie in the Metro. Want to read Le Chiendent which is currently around as Witchgrass.

Rebuilding stone walls which I hope remain in place once done once.

Should be fixing a computer which I've put off for a month waiting to shake off a cold/flu that shouldn't still be bothering me.

Iced tea, but will soon be moving into hot tea why because winter

hey that sounds pretty good

i am into -

getting excited about fall and winter, which is a HUGE fucking thing for me because i have seasonal affective disorder. i am trying to be open and positive about the cooler weather so far and it's working out pretty good. i might not feel this way in february or march (or shit, this weekend when it will start getting dark at 4:30 here in boston) but for now i'm okay.

will oldham/palace music. i've had a few of these albums for a while but they are really clicking for me right now and i love them.

joni mitchell. i love joni so much and right now i feel a big pull to get really deep into her albums, biographies, etc.

miles davis' autobiography and miles 70s records, especially get up with it and the complete on the corner sessions.

cheese. i was vegan for about 10 years until 2012 or and then starting eating eggs again and now i am really getting into cheese. it's very tasty.

chamois shirts. with fall and winter coming i am digging my chamois.

Chamois, is that leather/suede or are there non-animal derived versions.

what are your favorite cheeses?? can we recommend cheese @ u?

oh my god yes you can! i don't know a lot and feel pretty simple. right now my favorite is probably bulgarian feta. it's much creamier than other fetas i've had and it doesn't have that chalky consistency. i also have some vermont cheddar that is really good. i bought some brie that was also really tasty.

xp to stevolende, chamois shirts are these heavy flannel-type shirts usually with two pockets and solid colors:

everyone pooh-poohs cheddar for being simple but this specific cheddar (Cabot Private Stock, comes in a black wax coating) is very sharp but also surprisingly creamy for a cheddar. It's really quite superior.
