In other, shit news. That's my city. "Skoleskyderi" means what you think. Not my kids' but a nearby school.

Meanwhile, on my journey through the alleged "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die", I reviewed and rated my 400th album today. These are the ★★★★★ so far.

Haven't updated you on my adventures in Sekiro (or anything else, really) for quite a while, #tonightinvideogames: my cool progress has grinded to a halt. Must have killed this guy 25 times by now (if you know you know) and here's to another 25, probably!

I don't love every aspect of bluesky's culture. It's not perfect. But, what bluesky's culture does have going for it is that it's the genuine product of the people who are here, rather than the skinner box manipulations of a drug-addled reactionary man baby. I'll take that choice any day.

I believe I am what would be called lyric deaf. Vocals are usually just another layer of timbres and rhythms. In any language, unless I'm consciously paying attention. Which means I'm sometimes making nice discoveries. (Pretty sure I've posted this before, but somehow it's never not appropriate.)

Excerpt from Ashenspire - Cable Street Again:

"You cannot fix that which Is working as intended
Gnashing-toothed printing press, virulent
Caustic they bound the fasces themselves
Sharpened the axe
Know this, they aren't resting
Nor reading the rules
They're desperate for war, gagging for it
If it's to be Cable Street again
We won't win through debate
You can't reason with malice
The fasces must break"

Since I had lived on my own I have been cooking for myself and then - for the past 14 years - every 2nd day for the family, but this pandemic year may have unlocked a new tier of skill somehow. Like the range of dishes where I can wing it has expanded greatly. Very pleased with today's Enchiladas.
