Still from twin peaks: fire walk with me. Two men sit in armchairs on a zigzag-patterned floor with red curtains, a statue, and tall lamps in the background.
Halloween morning mood ❤️🔥

Song of the day: "Man in Mind" by Ida. Kitchen's unpacked. Record shelves populated. Stereo hooked up. We rewarded ourselves w/brewery lunch out w/friends, then I took a nap and thought about how I still can't play this on piano, though I know the vocal harmonies by heart. youtu.be/UHQlGlx7ZGs?...

SORRY. Sorry.
Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement
Song of the day: "Run Baby Run" by The Primitives, a band I was fortunate enough to see for free at the Malibu Nightclub in Long Beach, NY, when I was 17 years old. But that was long ago, and this week I am finishing packing up my apt of a decade so... www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA0K...

Song of the day: "Sanctify" by the Blake Babies. I heard it at random recently and my soul's muscle memory ROARED to life. I still know every yelp, lull, and shriek as if I were 18 and full of raging love confusion all over again. youtu.be/wezEQQpYIW8?...
