All the drama we got is wasting time on the clock
Tonight I missed a professional Zoom function whose initial invitation never reached me (I checked all my folders) and whose reminder arrived in my e-mail well after the event had ended. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch has assured me that this is technology being stupid and not my fault, but all of the parts of my brain that light up at failure have gone into catastrophizing overdrive. I do not appreciate this situation. Plus, although it was more like a confirmation than a surprise, I have just been informed that Mission of Burma have officially called it quits.
At least most of the day was quiet. It was too hot for the cats to curl up with me, but Autolycus spent much of the afternoon napping nearby.yhlee sent me a literary, oceanic care package which will enable me to experiment with watercolors with names like "Sea Glass" and skygiants successfully sold me on watching Crash Landing on You (사랑의 불시착, 2019) when I haven't been able to focus on movies all month and rydra_wong pointed me toward this T-shirt which I have bought, thus sending funds to the Okra Project and giving me something else nice to wear. And I enjoy having a friend who is a journalist who gets to write articles with titles like "If fish is brain food, does that mean coastal seagulls are smarter?"
Not least, this art is pretty hot.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I knew people (idiots) who refused to listen to them after they reformed, but I really liked Onoffon and Unsound.

We’re going to have to relax the custodial agreement this week. He’s still cardamom comatose.
Seriously zoom notifications are notoriously bad. I don’t triple check on our call links just because I have an anxiety disorder!
Love.

I feel very friendly toward index cards right now.

I discovered them with The Obliterati—I only ever heard them live their second time around. They were an important band to me. (And their importance to me survived their simultaneous importance to someone who really hurt me, which is a big deal.) I had figured since I had not heard of them touring in recent years that they might be winding down, but I still hoped there might be some more studio music. I am reminding myself that no one's dead and what we got was really good.

Just pour some more lassi on him if he picks his head up again.

I didn't know that! Or I thought it was because Zooming via Bertie was such a fragile prospect. Thank you. This is just a dreadful time for communications to break down in any fashion.
Love.

That is a good thing to remember right now.

That art is indeed hot. I've always thought that water and wind make great lovers.

When I wrote to people about it, it turned out I was not the only person who had failed to receive notification in time. That makes me feel better about the mechanism, although still bad that I missed the event itself.

That thing Catullus once wrote about how what a woman says to her lover in passion should be written in wind and running water? Joke's on Catullus: the wind and the water are the most faithful of all.
