Morosely drinking red wine,
Wishing I could unwind
The cold dead hands of time.
They clutch my heart
In their firm grasp
I gasp
Pain shoots through my psyche
I got out, I know I'm lucky
But it hurts so goddamn much
I'm losing my grip on reality, I'm out of touch
You compliment me, I blush
I've been taught I'm a burden
And my efforts at creation
Are futile and wasted.
I'm hated and wasted.
...
Please don't worry, I'll be fine,
(I always am, in the end)
I'm merely, morosely, drinking red wine.

It's my Friday night after working this weekend. Mrs_Owl has an early start, so I'm on the sofa tonight = staying up until 4am watching/passed out in front of YouTube on the PC. Spent the last 20mins trying to remember a banging house track from my 90s clubbing days. Found it!

Camisra - Let Me Show You (Tall Paul remix)

As used in the awesome club scene from Spaced (Simon Pegg)

I'm up for going down this rabbit hole tonight :)

I've had a cough in the morning and evening for two weeks now. Excited for it to go away

Not complaining.

Today's absolutely weird dream after weeks of not having any:

wordy description of dreamwent to a lecture in a fairly large auditorium with old-ish seats that had cheap wood veneer, no idea what the topic was about but my boss was there seated next to me taking notes... so it would've been work related and entirely benign. I'm sitting at the end of the row. Anyway, out of the blue someone yells "GET DOWN" - split seconds before the heart stopping sound of a gunshot - and then a whole lot of screaming and scrambling as everyone is crouched on the floor or bent over.

I hear a soft slide and thud, and a man of African origin - Somali perhaps - lies dead, sprawled over a couple of empty seats just two seats away from my boss and me. People are curious and get up slightly for a better view but multiple voices ring out again: "GET DOWN!!!" Stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp. A herd of SWAT police materialise as if they've been there the whole time, they yell "CLEAR" to each other and a pair jog over to where I am, everyone else still frozen in terror, pindrop silent. One of the men looks around, looks at the body, makes a hand signal, and a very calm male voice immediately comes on the PA system asking us to please exit the hall in an orderly fashion. Voices rise again as everyone starts to make sense of it all, but staff and police start guiding the masses out. The SWAT guy asks my boss and I to stay behind while other police rush in to cordon off the dead body (where did they come from???), and as I try to put myself together I notice...

The dead body has bright orange blood. Boss and I look at each other with the same face of horror and bewilderment and in that moment we're all just humans going what the fuck.

Anyway, the dream went on for quite a bit longer but it was all paperwork? Yes, I had a detailed and extensive dream that included paperwork and small talk and seeing various professionals turn up.

Brains, man.... I wonder if it'll make a part 2 of this lol.

Semi-rest and clean day. Dishes, laundry, make stew later, dust bust, might walk to aldi. Clothes I scored yesterday fit well, which is nice. I've decided I love dresses after all. I just need a couple more cute necklaces. Op shop mission and aldi maybe then. I have coles, woolies and aldi all about 5 mins walk from here. Plus another coles and woolies maybe 6 mintutes walk. The balaclava shopping strip is really good. Has the old footscray vibe to it with the (not so) cheap (anymore) stores and heaps of independent takeaway food. There's also a barber called edward scissor hands, which is about the only hipster themed thing I've ever not cringed at. Instead of random roaming junkies it seems like drunks and it's not close enough to the south yarra end of chapel street to be full of cashed up looking real estate agents in adidas.

I didn't end up going to the warehouse sound system event...

But..

Seeing the photos makes me regret I didn't. Looked like a proper abandoned warehouse gig. Hope there are more of them and maybe some daytime park partays come summer.

And..

Reading the comments on it, there are always people who lose things and ask if anyone has found it. This time one was a samsung s23.

So..

Back in my prime raver days the most you'd lose is a jacket and maybe a pinger and not a $1300 phone.

I'm not sure what the moral of that story is because there are a few.
