when a motorway loves a city very, very much..

city water supply goes all wonky every single time i'm sick stop why stop

-i might have done the best portrait i'll ever do

(which still isn't very good).

on a tablet. too bad it's a real actual person.

-it has been done! constellations as a euphemism for acne.

-been waiting for the other shoe to drop for weeks, and it keeps not happening. it is, in fact, so not happening that just as i was going "somebodyplstakeovermylifeandgetmethroughthisplsnao", they actually went and did that. it was very ridiculous.

are you sure we should be doing this

because weren't we doing this before when it didn't happen can i see that again how much exactly we're talking about a scale of one to ten how much does it hurt from bastogne to neige i can't give you any there's always some risk involved right for yourself you're a sensible believes in stats let me see that again there must've been a mistake if when they take that away what will you have left

that poem still doesn't mean what you think it means

it's gonna beeeeeee

a julelys! a juleLYS!

right, okay.

been trying to sync a song to a video of a certain beetle a pois trying (&failing miserably) to eat coloured sprinkles for the last 30mins despite my stupid brain who thinks it fits perfectly each time. (now that's an ugly sentence.)

festive we are festive

lines 1 and 9

now i know why "ninove" sounded familiar.

"romans built X..."

(lost my train of thought here)

"...in a feat of organization."

i know what tonymartinthecyclist will look like twenty years later.

dh talks differently in real life. v. disturbing to hear.

tomorrow starts

something i like to call operacion SIL-OLO (no affiliation)

where the first O is redundant

an early newyears resolution of sorts.

OLE.

bilan for the year is up, and the Eels fan at sporzaHQ is still in charge. after the "[no]ordinary man/beautiful freak" juxtaposition of yesteryear, here's this years's playlist for posterity:

Dreamer - Isbells (JAF, OHN)
For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield (AC, P-N)*
Oh So Lovely - Eels (OF, MSR)
The Morning - Eels (RvV start) > this part was nice.
The Boy In The Bubble - Paul Simon (FC, P-R)
The Runaway - UNKLE (AV, LBL)*
Streetgirls - Tocadisco (Giro start) > this wasn't i thought.
Drunken Sailor (BW, Giro prologue)*
Il Canto degli Italiani (IB, Giro)
Runaway - The National (MC, Tour)
Easy Street - Randy Newman (FC, WCTT)*

* means i lold.

"thero coma thero thero thero thero thero thero thero thero thero thero cinco"

[this had a title once.]

"right, right, now listen to me" is one.

"running commentary/just don't run out of things to say" is another.

can't say i know what it's like, but there's "as we exist in companiable silence".

and then there's "let's be around each other as we worry and we bitch and we whine and we try to be (until we are considered as) one of those other people who are, maybe not exactly perfect, but". that's just plain offensive.

and there's land, and there's water and there's grass.
