I like rain.
@Mainebot Sorry, that was unwell edited.
@donblanco Greeaaat... π¬
@Mainebot Ooooh.... I'd make an exception for that person on the spirit animal rule, but they still might consider them a twit unless proven otherwise, so it all ends up in the same place for them. π½
Add to the list of instant dating-profile dealbreakers: mention of spirit animals. π
your books, you do give them away, right?
give people you care about books you care about, as often as you can.
I woke up. I have stuff to do, but nowhere to go except on my walk. This hasn't happened in *months*. Home, from one end of the day until the other! It's like looking out upon the wide expanse of the ocean, incomprehensibly vast. It's... it's... I need more coffee.
Rain and lightening swooping through my little town. Either those were the two biggest thunder bombs I have ever heard and felt, or else the Tribe has upped their fireworks game. Holy fuuuuuck!
The only improvement to this album would be to play it softly while lying on the grass* just in the shade, watching the clouds, and listening to the summer breeze rustle all the leaves...
*hypo-allergenic grass π I swear I got a reaction just writing this.
#LoveSpiralsDownwards βIllusory Meβ from Idylls (2007)
Today this came to mind:
βWeβre dancing softly to the songs
that may just save us from our doom
Summer gardens are the scene
as we fall into them and loomβ
#Iris βLoomβ, Disconnect (2000)

For some reason, Disconnect is not available, except on discogs. βReconnectβ is missing songs, and I donβt prefer it, simply because Disconnect is a *perfect* album. I made a decent playlist, all the songs, not all my favorite mixes. Pretty damn close. Ask me, Iβll link you.
The one brilliant thing that happened in this colossally shitty week (brilliant like a shooting star, but brilliant).
@Anke That's a different species of coot (or if you prefer, "rail") than we have here. Beautiful!
The bamboo in the front is getting regular water as the tender shoots reach for their full height. I bought a new oscillating sprinkler because the plastic fitting on the cheap one that was left here snapped off. This one is nice and heavy, with fully adjustable oscillation control, and a BRASS FITTING.
I'm slowly thinning the fruit from the quince tree because it tries to ripen everything.
Goumis are still abundant, and I can't keep up. Where are the cedar waxwings this year?
"Cool, could you poke it and tell us what it's like? Does it squish?"
I love slime mold people. π
@Elizabeth_Fitz This sounds like something acRoald Dahl villain would think up.
My house feels homey finally now that Iβve ensconced Mr. Natural in his rightful place.
My father was a Crumb fan, and this comic was framed and placed on the windowsill above the sink. I never lived with my father for very long, but I always loved* grunting alongside Mr. Natural as the pile of dishes diminished. It was a pleasant memory.
*Well. Anyway...
Now, Iβve printed and framed a copy to keep me company in my house:
βMr. Natural Does the Dishesβ by Robert #Crumb, October 1971
I get annoyed when the eyesroll emoji disappears from my "frequently used" cache.
