twenty twenty five #1
you know what they say about a cup of tea: it'll wake ye up when yer tired, put ye ta bed at at night, cool you down when you're too hot and warm you up when you're coul.
i'm a little dehydrated. new years eve was quite, quite lovely. up there at the top if new years eves were to be ranked. watched the fireworx through a little window, they weren't expected but then it was midnight and the streets were hooting and yelling with fervour and there was the sky with its colourful sudden spiders exploding and crawling and receding into the black.
and there it was, a little spinning chair (MILLBERGET in murum beige), and smiles and happy new year and, though the zombies weren't playing, still therein lay the sentiment.
and the next day, a first day of the year walk. it turned out wetter than expected. the parks were all stormshut and we were dripping ice cold wet frozen squelchers for feet. "it'll all be worth it when we get to the restaurant" which was closed, by the way. it turned out that way, we found out when we were eye to eye with the door. it was a most wonderful day, though so wet and cold my bones have changed density and no muscle of me has been the same since.
yes. yes yes yes.
little piggies on the doornail tell me the month is full. i've been doing electronics projects at night. next up is a little preämp.
a grade ii listed zebra crossing. is the one at abbey road the only grade ii listed zebra crossing? i think so.
silly me one time, but then a lovely weekend of diaspora blood and tears, maybe more understanding of how it's for the other. and what wonderful shawarma, a slap-up meal.
there'll be new quiet party soon, i think. a few good songs are coming together. and hopefully i will write some more next weekend. there's singing on them. currently the singing is a little out of tune so i might fix that. but maybe i won't fix it because that way you know it was made by a person and not a computer. and wouldn't that be nice?
wouldn't it be nice
ps i ran into some trouble there with gnu date. i use gnu date as part of
the template for these weekly posts. it turns out that gnu date believes there
is such a thing as week 0 of the year. i have been informed now by computer,
that week 0 is an american fact. it's unsettling, though, to have eaten so far
into my paycheck and only on week 0 of the year. i've now asked gnu date to give
me a normal week number which it calls "%V". we must choose between sometimes
having week 0s, and sometimes week 53s. neither option feels okay. maybe when
these extra days happen they should be holidays that nobody has to think
about. 32nd, 33rd and 34th December.
