It's pretty easy. Or you could use this to say something, I don't bite unless asked to.

G’night.

Oh Kim…

Such a good mini-story. Also: I love the colour palette.

Three things went wrong.
The first two happened already on the Tursday so great start. The train had a electric error so it took an hour extra. Which shouldn’t be a problem unless it were for the second problem. One channel in my headphones said bye bye and left. I didn’t know if it were the cord, the headphones or the mp3-player. I hoped it would be the cord otherwise I’d be up shit creek. (Spoil the ending: it was the cord.)
The third thing though, it still makes me a bit nervous. I got a headache on Saturday. I tried all the usual remedies: bottles, pills and sin. Neither worked. Around 22 it was really bad so I went in the cabin to sleep a bit and hope it would disappear. It did, sort of until the shit-covered fan kicked into a higher gear.
I felt sick and I did sick, and then it happened. The worst fucking allergic reaction I’ve ever had in my life. Pure body horror reaction. There were bumps all over the body — all over the body — and there was this itch. Every itch, every scratch brought me closer to the new flesh.
In my bag I found medication from three different makers, just to be sure I took one of each. That worked. Wonders even, there is no trace of the body horror incident except in the memory. And that’s bad enough.

This person, me, is alive. Despite the will of nature. In its face! (More later when I get home in a few, eh, no, nine hours is not a few. But more then!)

Now sleep, tomorrow I will wear my Jayne hat and my Blue Sun t-shirt with pride. I’ll see you lot on… Monday. There will be no Internet where I’m going.
Need warm socks! Almost forgot.

Why the disappointment?

The plan was to camp with friends from tomorrow until Sunday. Still the plan but several people said “I’ll come out on Friday instead.” Only we’ll be far less from the beginning to the end. The fuckers.

I have said it before and I will say it again, we would have epic fights in real life. (I would only be wrong about one of the things I chose to fight about from this list.)

I sure hope you’re not a Randist!

Death just popping up seems a bit silly.  There are dead people everywhere, so why not use those bodies. Sort of like a paranormal energy going from host to host.

Popcultural things which popularity I don’t get.

  • Terry Richardson. Less skill and art than a family slide show.
  • Law and Order. I know, some of you might be a bit upset about this as there are awesome people here that do like it quite a lot. But procedurals without character focus? I zone out.
  • John Mayer. Can white noise drip of oversentimentality? Obviously.
  • The Lord of the Rings movies. Hairy people crying and walking for weeks in real-time? I can do that myself.
  • Vanilla Coke. Remember the Swill Mineral Water skit from SNL?
  • Dane Cook. Q: What would happen if Carrot Top went to a fraternity? A: Fucking Cocks.. eh, Cook.
  • Superman, which got to be the most boring comic book creation ever.
  • Ayn Rand. Clearly, someone must have made her up from imagination as a huge practical joke right?

dooeypig replied to your post:So today I do believe you were the brainchild...

Well I don’t know where completely misrepresenting your statement [“We should try to interview one and another all the time!”] could be a source of confusion for you in the least! Sheesh. Get your head in the game! Otherwise, I was just joshing ya.

But there’s a difference when there’s something recording the voice! It’s like being a deer in headlights and there’s a chainsaw wielding motherfucker of a crazy behind. Double scary.

Although I’ve now began to think about doing audio-recordings here. Curse youuuuu! Thankfully one can’t combine things from the askhole with audio posts.

So today I do believe you were the brainchild both of an edited group Tumblr to replace the directory AND a Tumblr Audio Interview series. What kind of Wheaties do you eat every morning? I could use some.

Ermm.. not the brainchild of those two things. The architect. They didn’t create you. Other way around. Vocab fail. — Dooeypig-addition.

Wow. Ok. If we stretch morning a bit — my sleeping pattern is a bit disruptive and I’m awake the larger part of the night — I prefer sandwiches. Mostly because I’ve a hard time to eat early after just have awoken and sandwiches can just lie there and wait. But when I do eat cereal it’s some kind of bran all-fibre thing. (Probably do wonders for the poop.)

Do you mean me interviewing or being the interviewee? Both seems scary though.

jessicamurrieta replied to your post:I have given up on the tumblr directory and…

there is something wrong with it anyways

Of course it is, but I do think most of the flaws could be fought with a sort of half-public half-personal algorithm. Fully public and populistic will always favour the flotsam and not the things that are whole. Especially if there might be reblogs or postings of the self involved. And I do not have anything against the one’s that get lots and lots of recommendations. Many of them are excellent — but the same one week after week is sad and more than a bit boring.

But yeah, I’m hardly an expert on how to do these things right, that’s what experimentation is for. I only know that it’s broken and then I have to say something.

dooeypig replied to your post: I have given up on the tumblr directory and…

Preach on! Couldn’t possibly have found a better subject to get your writing voice back for. It’s like we have a mind meld on the topic.

There will be socks! Or did the mind meld break now? Probably, I guess not sock weather over there. Anyway, it’s a bit cold now but I still hope for sunshine towards the weekend (even though I’ve got a cabin to sleep in and not a tent). Then I will gladly accept the autumn.

I like the black and white. Kind of eerie and atmospheric.

Hope I didn’t ruin that with the colour.
