Lately I’ve been v pissed off. In general. So much so that I can’t even write it down in a poem.

If you want to experience of the holistic connectivity of your human body - get a tattoo. Even if it's someplace relatively easy, you'll soon find out how this place actually gets used, gets touched by, can't be avoided by all the other parts of your body.

Imagine this: the protagonist is poisoned and must get the antidote. So, they sneak in a guarded venue to get it. As they’ve snuck in, suddenly there’s tons of other soldiers and fighters. Chaos and mayhem all around.

I suspect that most people who have met me and spoken to me only IRL would never imagine that I’m a poet. Even though I tend to use weird phraseology, I also constantly stop mid-sentence and go: “errr, what’s the word for this.. there was a word, I know there is one for this thing, thing.. aaaaa”

Look! Wildcats in my area.
A suggestion to the photographers trying to catch a pic - leave open carton boxes and leave your cameras pointed towards that. Or some sort of wrapping paper laid down.

'This mysterious little beast is returning to our forests': Rare images of Europe's 'ghost cat'
Wildcats are so elusive, they were thought to be extinct in parts of Europe. But they are making a comeback in some areas.

That time of the year when the temperature rose above 0, so the precipitation turned (from snow) to rain. Now one must walk on the still snowy sides of the pavements, where grass used to grow and such, because the actual walkway is basically an ice rink.

As I was opening a door, I looked down so I wouldn’t trip on the doorstep, but instead I hit my head with said door and got a concussion.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Working in tech, I often find that the question of "what problem you need the solution for" should be followed by "why do you have this problem?" Because often enough it turns out that this is just one step towards the Real Problem they have.
Which may result in a completely different solution.

As my cat has gotten older, she gets proper aggressive on catnip. When she was young, it was way more mellow - got high, ran around, was fun, slept off the hangover. But these days (last couple of years) it's become quite apparent to me that no more drugs for her, she can't handle them anymore.

I have a lot of complaints about tech these days. But there's one thing I'm truly enjoying as a newbie bass player - I can very easily record myself playing, analyse what needs to be improved, and work on those things. This is fucking amazing stuff and helps me immensely.

One thing that truly fascinates me about doctors, is that they will without restraint poke you in the stomach and then act surprised that it hurts. Even if it didn't before, it sure does now, mate.

as a poet, I find it weirdly hard to write about things that don't piss me off. no, let me rephrase that, I find it extremely hard to write good poetry about things that (exist and) don't make me angry.
I suppose, I lack the practice.

The physio clinic that I frequent is magical in some way. The whole setup there is very tailored to make old people feel comfortable. Especially the rooms with passive treatments where you get a device stuck on or under you. There's cosy and colourful blankets, pillows, all that. I love it all.

I have a built in wardrobe in my bedroom. Recently I got a delivery in a rather spacious, yet shallow box. I put the opened box at the bottom shelf (so to speak) of said wardrobe.
Furfur is very pleased with herself that she has figured out a way to sit in a box and be in a shelf at the same time!

Life after one finds out one has a Nickel allergy is like prepping for a Chemistry exam. Which includes reading older publications where most of the research and statements are rather reasonable, but causes are facepalm. E.g. people get Nickel allergies because of piercings becoming more popular

Today is the day when I found out that I am not allergic to everything (except penicillin). Instead I am allergic to one single element that happens to be in pretty much everything.
What discombobulates me is that the doctor's conclusion was: avoid nickel, come back for a followup in 2 months.

Due to circumstances (forgot my work pass at home and my team isn’t on site today) I’ve spent the best part of the workday in the Other Building. The one where almost nobody knows me by face let alone name.
This has lead me to realise that I am very used to being equal parts stared at, yet ignored

Long time no cat pic. So, here - some cosy cosiness by Furfur, the great earl of hell, in charge of 26 legions of demons (according to wikipedia).

"how goes the aging gracefully," you ask?
let me tell you, that after spending two Saturday evenings trying to clean the red hair dye out of pretty much everything in my bathroom, I went for the sensible option this week - I put the "dusty pink" toning mask in my hair.

me and my bandmate were talking about my latest composition the other day.

BM: yeah, that's true, finishing is not the way we do things.
me: not by any means!

sometimes when I read articles or see videos about what the practical reality in these modern times is like for a musician, it feels very discouraging. and scary.
then I play some bass or the piano. read some poetry out loud. and I can't wait to find out how our band's first album will turn out

Went to the kitchen to make tea.
**sigh** everything runs out, ends, stops working, finishes, apart from dirty dishes. Dirty dishes never stop generating. And crumbles on the kitchen counter.

The “oh, I’ll bring my office cardigan home to wash it”, is often code for “it’s too cold to take it off”. Having said that, both statements can be true at the same time.
