Month: September 2023
La luna del raccolto, the harvest moon, is here, time to celebrate the crop yield by dancing around a big bonfire and burning effigies and such. It's also another Supermoon and boy, can we feel it here. Everyone's stretching like rubber bands.

"The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it"

"Very PUNK ROCK", my friend wrote. And so it is. The new Moderna vaccine is in full swing, now, along with all the new Covid cases in my life. Like, everyone has it. This post is kinda punk, maybe not in the original sense, or in the original, original sense, but in a 2020s kinda way.

Expect some chaotic energy in the next few weeks : I'm due for a real vacation - no, I'm OVER due for a real vacation - which will happen at the beginning of October. So no themes or rolls until then, just pure inspiration, improviso.

Salve. It's a post of opposites, really. The video is how I appear on the outside, the song is inside. The photo is outside and inside, too, but you'll have to figure that one out. Just kidding.

I love to travel, but I hate long flights, particularly this one. It's become so dehumanising and full of paranoia and ranking behaviour. "Oh, you didn't pay the extra €35? You're in Group C, oh, no, sorry. . . D. Back of the line, old man." I really hate it.

Jumping train cars snuck by me in the last session in the person of Grace Jones. So we're going to play on that name at least one more time, because soon enough you will be Jones-ing for another post from me. Try to manage.

| Maria Bamford: "Why does everything have to be so good?"
I know you can tell that I got a little lazy on this post, but it's a good kind of lazy. Continuing by jumping train car to carriage, I got stuck on the thoughtful man in the previous post, covered in roses. And remembered this photo. . .

What say we just sit back and relax for a while. Listen to a slow jam, chill, chat. Oh, boy. Another frantic Monday.
