I might drown into you
My life right now feels very bare and very scheduled at the same time—I am maintaining myself and others and that's about all I have time for—but I got out for another walk this afternoon. Naturally the sun came out as soon as I got home, but I think ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
pameladean may be right that some things are more luminous by overcast.
The magnolia looks especially dragonish to me this year.
The weeping cherry is beginning to blow to the sidewalk, but its blossoms can still pour down out of the sky. You just have to look up.
Close-up in the grey.
This magnolia looks leafy sea dragonish.
My camera has a hard time with contrasts, but I like how it caught the window-sky.
From my office window as the sun came out.
Have some links.
1. I was reminded by conversation withlarryhammer that I had never actually seen the official music video for TLC's "No Scrubs." Their futurism still looks great.
2. I first heard Morcheeba on a mix made for me nineteen years ago byselkie, so I am pleased to discover their latest single is so subaqueous: "Sounds of Blue."
3. Courtesy ofmoon_custafer: I too would have enjoyed a Ronald Colman Moriarty, but in all honesty I am reposting mostly for Sydney Carton winking. I was introduced to Colman with A Tale of Two Cities (1935) and may always think he looks his best minus the mustache and plus a slight hangover.
I did not expect the conviction of Derek Chauvin. I am glad of it. I hope it is a beginning and not a blip.

It does.

And looks lastingly influential to me, although people who know more about pop music than me should feel free to dispute. (I got to Left Eye's mid-video rap and thought, "Oh, there's half of Grimes' costumes.")

For calibration, one possible precursor I thought of, Janet & Michael Jackson’s “Scream,” turns out to be three years later.)ETA: Argh - actually, "Scream" was 4 years earlier -- I misremembered the release date of "No Scrubs", which was 1999. Quoth Wikipedia:
(Confession: I spent the better part of 94-95 crushing on Left Eye, largely from her dancing in the "Creep" video.)
