I mostly seem to rant about media on here. No idea what that’s about. Maybe I yearn for the days of yore on Livejournal.
I fell victim to one of the classic blunders: I went to the grocery store hungry. Luckily the only real result is too much bread because that baguette looked so fresh! I will 100% not be able to eat it before it gets moldy but by god, I will give it my best shot.

My landlady gave me candies orange peels and so instead of my usual holiday season cookie breakfast I’ve been throwing back orange peels like some kind of Victorian orphan.

The Bay of Kotor is probably my most-photographed view here. It’s just so pretty every single day.

What I lack in pomegranate eating skills, I make up for in enthusiasm. Covered in juice, a few seeds ricocheted into the dark under the furniture, I emerge triumphant.

Every time I visit Dublin I love it. Wish I had a longer time and more room in my body for Guinness.

Saw a mini castle. It felt a bit haunted or maybe like a front for the fairies.

Iggy and I are on the move to our next place. I keep thinking I would like all the moving more if I had less baggage. I suppose if I were rich I’d ship my stuff ahead of myself or have homes everywhere. Leaving things to chance causes me anxiety but that’s where the interesting things happen too.

One of my favorite songs that my dad wrote: open.spotify.com/track/6Yd10Y.... He’s getting ready to leave us. Makes me cry just to say it.

I’ve been taking all these long walks in the woods, and sometimes it floats across my mind how utterly unconcerned I feel, when I never would have taken a hike alone in the US. I’m so unconcerned I barely think about it; I register zero threats. Maybe wild pigs once in a while.

I read a little US news. Meanwhile here in Sweden, it’s cinnamon bun day, an actual official day. I’m sitting inside with a bun and a coffee with a snoozing dog.

I’ve stepped in enough mushroom rings today that if the fairies wanted me they would have taken me. I’ve also been off the path and not paying attention: breaking all the rules!!

Sometimes a band redoes one of their own songs and somehow it’s not as good? I always just want to gently take them by the shoulders and say “stop messing with it.” Maybe it’s a demo that they wanted better sound quality on, but it inevitably sounds too smooth and less interesting.

I would like to once again call out the cinematic dinosaur artists on their cowardice: I want to see feathers, fur, and bright colors!!!

It’s warmish but also cloudy, my brain doesn’t know what to do. Sweaters and nesting? Acoustic guitar music??? One last hurrah in the ocean before the water is too cold? Is it time to put away the flip flops? There is no answer, just uncomfortable liminality.
