sovay: (PJ Harvey: crow)
I would not sell my soul for sleep because I know those bargains never work out, but I know why people think about making them.

I saw that Momus had a song by the name of "Nicky" and I thought at once of Jacques Brel's "La chanson de Jacky" and well I should have; it's the same kind of version as the Sensational Alex Harvey Band's "Next" is of "Au suivant." All recommended.

[personal profile] thistleingrey linked me an excellent article about the untranslated nuances of Fidler afn dakh.

People keep telling me to be gentle with myself and I have no idea how to do it. I am not looking for advice or a self-care manual; I'm just not even sure what it would feel like. I've had vacations by accident and they were great. Otherwise I can't remember the last time I could enjoy time I didn't have to carve out without thinking about how I'd pay for it later. That was in another country and besides, the economy is dead.

I'm going to re-read Georgette Heyer's Black Sheep (1966) and see if I actually fall asleep even as soon as shortly after dawn. I think my body has forgotten how. I remember liking it.
