i feel - on days like this, which are shitty and hungover and stupid - like i'm always the one who has to reach out to my children. they never initiate a meet-up. and they live with their mom and then kvetch about her to me when it suits and sometimes, mostly, i think well this is normal and its ok but sometimes it just makes me feel very very nobody writes to this colonel

i think i remember that
"Invitation to a Gunfighter" was pretty excellent but you can see Hollywood struggling to rein in his sexuality

There is a hipster in a canal boat on BBC4 and it's actually the least worst thing on atm

He's just used the word boaters to refer to co-bellends and he's about to explore Stoke ffs

masterchef notwithstanding i've quit terrestrial for netflix and LA REINA DEL SUR and then ANCIENT ALIENS
― mark s, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 20:04 (four years ago) link
I think Ancient Aliens gets played on one of the high number terrestrial channels but that stuff hurts my head
I found a good Chinese series of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on Youtube the other week but I'm too befuddled for subtitles today.

i mean yes it's brain-corroding garbage but have you seen "factual" TV recently
― mark s, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 20:08 (four years ago) link
erich von daniken did brexit
Yeah I enjoy terrible factual TV but lately Jamie Theakston has been too much for me

i'm always the one who has to reach out to my children. they never initiate a meet-up
NV, I spent a few minutes earlier today realizing I haven't reached out to my own parents for a while. I think it's a parent/child dynamic and I've actually asked my parents if they'd want me to call/meet up more often. It's totally legit for you to say "hey, it'd really help if you called or visited a bit more often"
maybe set up a regular evening or whatever
― mh, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 20:35 (four years ago) link
I do take both of them out on the reg and I think you're right, it's what children do. That's what I was pondering.
― The Man Who Was Thirsty (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 19 November 2019 20:38 (four years ago) link
Both of them. The two that live down the road. The eldest is in Essex, poor lad.

Sitting outside vets with a naughty kitten, sky’s darkening rapidly and it’s not even 3.30, and I can see a GET BORIS GONE tactical voting billboard. That’s pretty blue, right?
― gyac, Thursday, 21 November 2019 15:28 (four years ago) link
it's been dark all day round here
i thought naughtiness was a design feature of kittens?
― The Man Who Was Thirsty (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 21 November 2019 15:30 (four years ago) link
The kind of naughty where she ate a sharp piece of skewer and is frisking around like I’m not stressing over it! Feeling like a bad kitten owner rn.

the moral here is to eat all the souvlaki as quickly as possible

good luck naughty kitten tho
yeah that's a bit much. frisking is good tho surely. you don't get these issues with a doner.

Spent half of a very long catch-up sleep dreaming about waiting for a pub that refused to open. God my unconscious is basic.

too fucking much, it's like a pit at the base of a mountain, there's no way i can get up from here

❤️ when’s the last time you had a drop?
― gyac, Monday, 2 December 2019 17:36 (four years ago) link
last Tuesday/early hours of Wednesday
the craving is mostly a 30 minute blast that comes occasionally, i just have to ride them out, obviously the internal argument "hey why not have a drink? fuck it" is the tough bit too, it's like gawping into the void which is there whether i drink or don't drink tbf
right now it will just not help, that's my mantra, feeble as it is
and i really like booze/pubs. maybe buy a lottery ticket.
― éminence rose et jaune (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 December 2019 17:41 (four years ago) link
i mean really why be sober or together or anything in a nation owned and cheerleaded by cunts cunts cunts
― éminence rose et jaune (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 December 2019 17:42 (four years ago) link
I mean yes I struggle (not very successfully) with my various vices and this all the time, but that’s what those cunts would want most.

Hi Jim this is a note to remind you that you really don't enjoy these hangovers when you think you're about to die so maybe let's not have them any more OK?

No I'd already had some tea and when I'm this poorly it'd only be wasted. I've had a couple of sips of rum to try and steady the panic but it's not working, best thing would be sleep really but I'm stubbornly hanging on for Rick and Morty
