♥♥♥ Bob Mould.

I had some iced coffee today in a moment of weakness - I wanted it, so I drank it. It was delicious, but I am never going to sleep tonight. Heh.

♥♥ Gorgeous voice, as ever.

A couple of months ago a couple of malnourished German Shepherd pups (about a year and a half old) killed some of my colleague's chickens; animal control was called as the owners couldn't be located, and the dogs impounded. The owners somehow managed to get them out. Last week, they came back - owners finally accepted that they do not have the means to care for these beautiful creatures. I have never been so happy to have someone relinquish their animals.

Today, I walked the male dog. He was so skittish if I sniffed due to allergies, he'd jolt. My heart just kept breaking over and over for him. He was clearly loved, despite the people not being able to care for his physical needs, as he is obedient and sweet. He leaned heavily on me if we stopped, perhaps needing protection/security. But he is still woefully thin. Every rib can be seen, his hip bones protrude. The female pup is even skinnier. I just... I needed a moment after walking him to go cry a bit. I'm a softie. Poor sweet babies, but things will improve for them.

I might try to take the girl out tomorrow, if my heart can take it.

Not a lyrically magnificent song, but I enjoy his voice.

I get in these moods and I listen to New Order for hours and hours. I would not complain of my wounded heart.

( Ditto Talking Heads.Collapse )


And I know it ages me, even if these groups were important slightly before the time I was allowed to listen to music. My parents were pretty into censorship, but, hey, I still turned out okay. They now engage in praying for my soul daily.

In other news, I was out of town Monday afternoon through tonight. Friend texted me images of my cats and their reaction to Stranger Danger. Johnny hid under bed. Abe bristled and probably growled. Roy enjoyed the smorgasbord, since the other two weren't around the food bowls. I do believe Johnny hasn't eaten since Monday, actually. She practically mauled me when I got home, ate healthily and has been curled up on me since I sat down. Poor sweet baby doesn't like strangers and at least one of her brothers is a total hog.

For reasons I cannot fathom, I've got me some Babooshka in my head right now.



You're welcome? ♥ Kate Bush, though she is not great at lip syncing.

Yardbirds love!

Got my first paycheck. Holy guacamole, I did not miss state income taxes. (I knew this would be the case, so any time I saw an ad for a job across the river in a no-income-tax state, I totally went for it.) All told, I had $500 yoinked out of my check for various and sundry. We only get paid monthly, so it's gonna be interesting to see how I can budget this and how much will come out of a full paycheck. I ... really hate monthly pay.



^Stand up and dance. You know you want to grab yer partner and dos-à-dos or whatever.

My mind stays crooked and my back stays straight.

Also, my emails are acting kind of funny, so if you haven't heard from me on that venue and think you should have - not ignoring, just having computer errors.

I learned that Dixie the Smarty and mud do not get along well. Almost got myself stranded by pulling off the road into a camouflaged mudpit. But these horses were very sweet and I am quite certain they expected some apples from me.




Some not-really-new new Foals



I guess I have a thing for Yannis Philippakis' voice.

Because it seems like this world is a hot, horrible mess lately.

Took a road trip today because reasons. ;) I'm not fond of spending four hours in a car, but now that I have a car to spend four hours in, I recall that I'm totally a car singer. (Only when I'm alone. Lawd, I love music but I am not musical.)

Heard this song on the foggy way home. It was foggy when I left as well. Fog sandwich.



And I was a kid again. You and me goin' fishin' in the dark, lying on our backs and countin' the stars... <3

Also, penguin highway!


And HiP said she's going to pay me $28/hr to "consult" while I'm willing. OKAY. Even at extremely part time, that's not bad.
