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

[sovay]

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.

I like volcanoes! I had a great time in 1997 at Kīlauea and Haleakalā.

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.
