'Cause they will run you down, down to the dark

Probably because it has been weeks since I slept more than a couple of hours a night and months since I had what would be medically termed a good night's sleep, I spent at least ten hours last night unconscious enough to dream and it was amazing. Under ideal circumstances I would devote my afternoon to reading on the front steps until the thunderstorms arrive. Under the resentful circumstances of realism I have already devoted considerable of my afternoon to phone calls with doctors and will need to enact capitalism while I have the concentration for it. I may still try to take a walk. I have a sort of pressure headache of movies I managed to watch before I ran completely out of time and would like to talk about even in shallow and unsatisfactory ways. I heard Kaleo's "Way Down We Go" (2015) on WERS and am delighted that the video was shot in the dormant volcano Þríhnúkagígur. I will associate it with earthquake-bound Loki. My brain thought it should dream about nonexistent Alan Garner and what I very much doubt will be the second season of Murderbot (2025–).

[edit] Taking a walk informed me that the sidewalk of the street at the bottom of our street has been spray-painted with a swastika, visible efforts to scrub it out notwithstanding. The sentiment is far from shocking, but the placement is rather literally close to home.

I had KALEO and KONGOS swapped around (they were on mainstream alternative-rock radio at the same time ish) and probably a little Judah & The Lion shaken in there, to the point N just shouted "THEY ARE NOT AT ALL SIMILAR BANDS, BABE!" But the point is, wow, everything sounds a little cooler in a volcano.

(Let's not go.)

Oh, no, fine, those we can go to. And Santorini and all that. Those are fun and sunny and their gods don’t have any dirt on me. Sure! I’ll weave the little orchid whatsises.

I am glad you got a good night's sleep!

(I am sorry to hear about the spray-paint.)

The kids and I visited Þríhnúkagígur last August. Words fail. I'd post a picture with this comment, if I knew how. (Do comments supports pictures?)

Here goes. First is a photo from inside Þríhnúkagígur:


And since I know you like water, here is one from the Westman Islands:

Thank you. Those were just phone pics, but it's hard to go wrong when you've got subject matter that good.

I'm very glad to hear that, and very sorry about the spray paint and the resentful circumstances of realism.

Glad to hear you've gotten excellent sleep! Far less glad of the reprehensible graffito; were I local, I'd offer to paint over the evil thing, or join you in doing so. No foul insignia here, only a rainbow or few.

That's good to hear!

(Shame about the spray paint thing.)

"Way Down We Go" is very cool--I like it when singers go to the trouble of finding a cool place to sing! I appreciate the worthwhile drama.

The swastika, NO. Let's spraypaint a meerkat eating a snake on top of it.
