I’m still sick (it’s been nearly a month!), but I’ve checked in on tumblr a tiny bit. Glad we now have Eurovision, along with gay pirates, and daily Drac. I’m so glad you’re having fun. Anything else, I seem to just think of shit things to say, not really contributing to the conversation. Hence, I am silent on those matters.
If my shit comments turn into something funny, I might change my mind.
I love Justin Johnson’s gothic blues music. It’s all instrumentals, very atmospheric; I often see comments that his music would fit well with a movie soundtrack.
This piece features a custom-built guitar by
Charles Atchison, with the body made from an old barometer.
when you hear a song for the first time as a cover and then hear the original and it’s like “damn the original is so much better I can’t listen to this cover again”
sometimes it goes the other way when someone just makes that song their own
Best of both worlds: The original makes you understand why people wanted to cover it, and the cover makes you glad they did cover it in their own way
This seems like a really good song with a rich sound, but it might also be that I have my volume up high? Idk, it sounds nice, and I’d like to revisit this later.
My throat is so sore now, I’m typing my words into google translate and playing the audio. Text-to-speech, in a lazy way. Very grateful for my fast typing in this case. It kind of sounds like those “pet talk buttons”, since I type phrases more than full sentences.
Dad’s calling to reschedule my counseling for next week, as a phone session. He also talked to my library friend and told her that I’ll be absent for nearly the rest of the month. Apparently, she’s covering for another person who is sick, so she can’t open the library anyway.
Dad also picked up a strawberry shortcake treat for me, along with 2 more bottles of cough syrup. I had frozen bananas earlier, to help soothe my throat. I’m just finishing up my 3rd week of this cold - corvid and a separate cold, since I tested negative.
I’m in better spirits, at least, as I get a few hours of sleep here and there.
