Hot and humid night, hotter and more humid day.


Might as well attempt to do heavy laundry in the dark, and then take a bath twice,
specifically before AND after laundry, in the dead of the night, or, at least before or after morning next day.

Not me. Are you doing something artistic? Maybe in one of the Arts forums?

It's the cold storage room in my cellar. I realised it doesn't have to be so drab. I think it would need a lot of prep work, but could be done. There's also some heavy stuff I'd have to move, to paint beneath. I'll do it in May. May is always my home project month. I need a new roof too :( (but I won't be doing that alone lol).

In the end I just submitted it. He's seen my other things and he was asking for something which 'felt like it has the need to be written' or something like that which seemed to call for something a bit edgier. It's just it always feels more vulnerable to get that stuff published and it almost always is the stuff people actually publish, of mine anyway. Maybe I put more time into it before I submit it?

Why can’t people just be upset that something beautiful got destroyed?

Trump always wants to make the biggest gesture

Most old surviving buildings are probably either religious or represent religions which used to exist and don’t anymore, like the Pyramids

Scousers on soaps are always thugs. It’s an overworked stereotype

People will think my parents brainwashed me into hating my father but they were the reason I was nice to him so long

People shouldn’t assume their politics is forever

I’m scared the guy will publish something I’ve written specifically because it’s edgy. Or the opposite, won't. I want it judged on its quality. He comes from similar stock to dad but acts posh and easily offended and it comes across as fake

I actually like the taste of throat spray...

I agree with you on the scousers, tuf. I sound like a scouser if I don't mind me Ps & Qs. Brummie accents seem to get a bad press too... I think they sound great.
I think regional accents should be celebrated more.

Me too. I like BSL because there isn't a 'standard', sometimes too much is put onto standardised accents.

I think the anecdote for me is watching Goodnight Sweetheart. They make fun of Ron for being unlucky but he's the nicest one on the show. I used to watch that every day. (Yes I'm aspie…)

What if the 'Got' prequel series fizzles?.



I've read somewhere not too long ago (I forget where) how the 'Narnia' series (or at least the stuff with or after 'Prince Caspian'(?)) might be made into another TV series. It'd be really interesting but deeply unlikely that the effort and finance put into 'Got' could be put into one of the oldest and recognized fantasy series. A more 'optimistic, hopeful' change to 'Got' and not only b/c of the religious symbolism and undertones, which now that I think about it will provide a interesting parallel to the BBC's 'His dark materials' incoming.

How can I not worry, when a word like worry sounds so much like war?.

Honestly thinking that the next, if not one of the last groundbreaking works of world literature will be an uncompromising take on the ennui and/or angst of being in a postcapitalist society but still living with your parents into your late 20's, early 30's.

:| Hth is there not anything famous like that already?. Can you name a book or short story like that?.

not sure if "a confederacy of dunces" fits your bill. i think i recall the educated protagonist living with his mother. it's a bit madcap, though. good book whether it's just what you're looking for or not.

I think you should get all dressed up and hang out with a handsome man at the paint store, or hardware store.

My sister, in viewing a house, once saw that the owner had painted little golden footprints on a cement floor. Didn't do the whole floor, just the mysterious very gold footprints.

I was looking at a site that shows a list of websites that were either hacked or breached and, the totality of said data which made it's ways into evil hands, whether that's email addresses,usernames, passwords, and much much more..In fact, I found out that my email address which I used with was one of several to have been a victim of said breach..Luckily, I don't use gmail for critical data..

I'm already perseverating about summer camp. I've been to this camp several times before, so I have an idea of what to expect, but I'm not exactly nervous or excited about it, I just can't stop thinking about it and want it to get here already just so I can.

However, I have realized since the last time that I went that I've started talking in my sleep fairly regularly (I know because I'll wake up in the middle of saying something sometimes), and I'm afraid I'll bother the other people in my cabin, but I don't know of anything I can do about it :oops:

Kind of worried because I'd like to swim, but I don't want people to see the self-harm scars on my legs and ask about them. It's probably fairly obvious what they are.

Also I'm already dreading the heat and humidity of summer. I have major sensory issues with feeling even the slightest bit damp, like from sweat or from the humidity being very high (which it tends to be in summer where I live), and that has only gotten worse since last year.

Also on my mind - less than a month until I get to go see Tool! :D

'The lesser blessed' is a movie example of Canadian 'not so niceness'.
