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.
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.

@loggiebee.bsky.social and I came up with a name for the avicii genre: chill sad guy. It’s like if Jack Johnson got mixed with techno.

It’s “close the windows at 10 am and turn on the AC” weather. Not mad, just sweaty, and perpetually tempted to go have a cold beverage on a patio.

I doused myself in citronella spray. I would have gone full deet if it wasn’t for my tiny dog! Fuck these mosquitoes. If you take my blood I want you to risk poisoning!!!

I’m reading The Hidden Life of Trees and it’s really making me think of Succession. All the sapling trees vying for position so that when the mother tree dies they can make a bid for her spot 🤓 the mother tree just being like “it could be any of you.”

So heartened to see the protests, even in my tiny hometown.
