I believe the majority of us can raise our hands and say, “Yes, we know this.” But I’ve never talked about it with anyone, ever. Like, I’m not avoiding it, but no one has suggested this… and I am forty-five years old. In 1989 I won “Most Talkative Girl” at my French Immersion middle school graduation ceremony. In front of one hundred Canadian families.
BUT BACK TO MY OPENING SENTENCE.
No. Seriously sorry, go back. Sorry.
TO AVOID RUINING YOUR FACE WITH TEARS,
WHEN YOU CRY,
BEND OVER,
LOOK DOWN AND THE TEARS WILL DROP STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR.
Immediately change your wake alarm to this song.
Whatever.
The opening of Ride on Time is a little on the nose. I bought this song on a single cassette and got a job as a dishwasher in a German restaurant at thirteen so I could buy the full album. This was the the year I won most talkative girl in front of one hundred Canadian families.
Anyhow. Wake up song.
I don’t care what vacuum or dishwasher or printer you have they all suck if they aren’t “state of the art” 10k items.
Get a good scrub brush for loading the dishes.
Get a vacuum that’s quick to empty. And cling to the printer you currently use.

Sorry not sorry, but dreamers forget they’re dreaming.
Really random- just pushed the play button at the top of the screen and it started reading this post in a nice robot lady's voice and all I can say....thank God I'm not blind. Good for a laugh though
Been watching The Newsreader (a drama about an Australian news channel in the 80's) and the most recent ep, the news channel was running a fairly flimsy story about Diana and Charles' possibly being separated, built on impulsive speculation from a handful of pictures and some major assumptions about their travel. The show is fictional, but that kind of wildly speculative shit using shoddy guesswork being presented as "fact" really did happen. It was sort of the beginning of how the media really fucked up. The media were bad from the start, but that was a pivotal moment. They started just destroying them, but specifically really sicced their dogs on her, and she kept on going. She kept being herself. It wasn't even dreaming, it was just being.
