lucky numbers
sixth 2024
i'm in the back of a taxi cab. the tunnel is closed under the water. there's so much traffic that our driver has started playing music. i didn't notice until then that Bolt cabs rarely have music playing? he asked permission? we're all listening to madhur sharma now. our driver is singing along.
many congratulations to lb. i'm so happy to see you so happy.
a thing that's been happening stops happening tomorrow, it'll be better after. lucky numbers is out on wednesday. i've started working on the new e.p. already, it's got a couple good songs on it too. been listening to bjΓΆrk and 90s ny hiphop and nola bounce. cameron paul brown beats on repeat. need to get my hands on a QY70 and sit on the rocks at the end of england and tell a story.
sometimes when she is falling asleep she starts shaking like sheβs about to turn into a bigger pokemon. the big highlight, of course, is that guy in the alley with the trenchcoat and cane and the stony expression showing no fear locking our eyes, smoking his cigarette and listening to 40s music from an invisible speaker. if life is a tv show we are all extras except for that guy.
reminded of OpenCola by Cory writing in the pink paper. there's 100 metric tons of legal coca leaf sitting in a factory in New Jerseyβ¨.
my shoulders hurt, so i'm going home to see my mattress about a nap. tomorrow will be a better day than yesterday and yesterday was pretty good.

one for sorrow, but magpies mate for life. if you look closely you can find the joy.
quiet week. ate some pickles. went home and picked up a cookbook. i released lucky numbers, it'll be on iTunes and streaming services on feb 14th. put it in your calendar. pre-save it on spotify. or buy it on bandcamp if you can't wait. it's as good as the cover. so will the next one be.
we listened to quiet party on the tv
booked a little holiday. going away at the end of feb. going to Lizard, Cornwall. the bottom of england, the southernmost point. it'll be good. spend a few days doing nothing, nowhere. spend a few days doing everything else. it'll be good.
we watched season 1 of lodge 49 this week, it's my favourite television programme. i've watched it a lot of times now. on friday night we broke our diet for a day and ate some chocolate and a v tasty vegetarian burrito from the highly ο½ο½ ο½ο½ο½ο½ ο½ο½ο½ cafe mexicana. then we drank some hard seltzer, ate some mushrooms and went to soho. we had a drink at a bar and then went home again. i nearly fainted on the central line but i held it together and sang.
saturday was slow and quiet. i've been in a strange place and trying to fix it. i went home on friday night to see what space felt like. we talked on the phone and then watched episode 1 of lodge 49 season 2 then z came over with a suitcase full of pillows. in the morning we went to see wonka on Rhys's recommendation. i never really expected to see Wonka, but i've never seen Rhys more animated about anything in his life than when he was talking about Wonka. at the time his passion seemed so uncharacteristic, but not anymore. he was right, Wonka is great. i cried and was wet and then went home.
now i'm lying in my bed thinking about how nice it would be to eat several hundred sandwiches, thinking about packing a suitcase, thinking about making some music, thinking about camden market, thinking about reading a little or writing, thinking about lime and parsley, quiet party. there's 3% battery life left in my computer so i'll post this before it dies.
