I honestly think Yoshimi Battles The pink Robots is such an incredible album. To me, the whole thing just feels so breezy and light, but at the same time, it hits you with this deep emotional wave—you know, that specific kind of psychedelic, trippy vibe that stays with you? It’s hard to put into words, but man, it just works.🤔 I know I probably didn't say anything super brilliant there, but honestly, my brain is just totally fried today. I guess I'm running on empty.😲
autumn said:Local blues genres? Give me a break... I don't really get the whole connection between that soulful Fado vibe and American a cappella groups. I mean, Fado is usually just one person singing, and it’s always so incredibly moody. They aren't even playing on the same level.😬
Okay, fine, maybe my comparison was a little clunky. Let's try again—how about we call them local "heartbreak and longing" genres? Does that make more sense now?
Man, that thing about the a cappella groups is totally just my own personal take. 😉
Call me an idiot, but I honestly get chills every single time I listen to fado... it's just that good. It hits you right in the solar plexus, and that heavy, aching melancholy kind of spreads through your whole body until you're basically tearing up....okay, fine, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic, it's not like I spend my whole day crying over some poor sailor's tragic fate, but man, it really gets to me... deeply.🙂 Either way, it just forces you to close your eyes and surrender to that rush of emotion and pain the singer is pouring out. I'm sitting here picturing myself somewhere by the coast in New York City, tucked away in some tiny local hole-in-the-wall where they serve shellfish you just eat with your hands... and the singer's lament is just echoing from deep inside that little tavern.😍 😍
I first fell in love with fado when I heard the legendary Ella Fitzgerald... she completely cast a spell on me. I think Louis Armstrong is amazing too, along with unknown (from the old school era). I also absolutely love listening to unknown, unknown, Adele... and Fleetwood Mac.👍 🙏
That comparison to our local blues styles is pretty interesting, though for me, the closest thing we have in terms of vibe would probably be those slow, "sotto voce" choral arrangements you hear around here.😁
I’m definitely allergic to some kind of pollen too... though I honestly have no clue which one specifically. All I know is that during the spring, I can't even hang out in a local park for a bit without starting to sneeze my head off, getting all watery-eyed, and running my nose like crazy... it's seriously gross.😢 Last year, I actually managed to dial back the symptoms a little by using that Dr. Pepper nasal ointment you just apply right inside your nose.
BTW, I have a family member who deals with really severe allergies and they went through immunotherapy, and they're feeling way better now. Apparently, acupuncture can help too, provided you start the treatment early enough—because once everything starts blooming, it's basically too late.
When I first saw the title, my mind immediately jumped straight to Peter Greenaway—thinking maybe something like his Child from Macon or Prospero's Books... but there’s definitely more to it than that, I guess. That was just my initial gut reaction.😉
If I'm feeling as blue as a rainy day in Seattle, I just pop "so that Tonight I Might see" into my Mazzy Star 🙂 🙂 But if I really want to get totally swept away by the feels, Roberta Flack just finishes me off with "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"
I’ve actually been mulling over signing my organ donor card for quite a while now. In the meantime, I’ve already let my inner circle know that if I ever head off to those eternal hunting grounds, I'm more than happy to donate whatever can be put to good use.🙂
If you’re talking about that supplement you can grab at any drugstore (bovine colostrum), I’ve actually heard it works wonders when you're dealing with a Helicobacter infection.
Harold Kern5 said:... there’s actually another one out there, but I can't quite recall the name right now. That one is probably even stronger since it has a higher percentage of St. John's Wort, but honestly, this one works pretty great for me too...
Maybe you're thinking of those Activia capsules from Pfizer?
So, I took a look at it. That whole "lost in space" vibe really messed with my head, honestly. The core concept? Yeah, I think it’s actually pretty solid... but it feels a bit weird how everyone just stays so chill through the entire ordeal. I mean, wouldn't it be more realistic if someone just totally lost their mind amidst all that chaos? Plus, the ending felt a little too much like a polished Hollywood commercial or something. Smells a bit fake to me.
My mom used to go see American Kirk for her chiropractic sessions over at 17 Prince Mislav Street—his number is 4612 530 if you ever need it. He doesn't really do those super aggressive, sudden adjustments, so I’m thinking the risk of anything going wrong is pretty much zero. Fingers crossed!🙂
Honestly, this is easily one of my all-time favorite movies. I mean, that’s really all I’ve got to say about it! I don't have a DivX copy lying around, though, so I guess I'm not much help here!😉
Alright, let me try to recap everything we just talked about to make sure I've actually got this straight,
So, here's the plan:
1. Clear out all those pesky cookies, 2. Wipe out all my temporary internet files, 3. Set my internet security level to medium (though I think it’s already set to medium right now anyway,😕), 4. Ditch Norton and finally spring for a subscription to McAfee.
Does that sound like I've got the whole picture right?😕 😁

Listen, sweetie, I've got some Norton running, but honestly? It's acting like a bunch of doctors on strike—just totally refusing to do its job!🙄
unknown said:I bet you were browsing through some of her fan sites or something, because now they're hitting your inbox with all this junk mail.😉
unknown what's your favorite song of hers?
For me, it's gotta be Sk8er Boi... at least for right now (Avril Lavigne is way better than the actual song😁 )
No way, definitely not... I was a total saint back in my middle school days.😉
unknown I pretty much only know that one, unknown

The spam is definitely coming in, but I don't use AOL Instant Messenger... still, thanks for the tip though!🙂
Every single time I turn around, I'm getting these weird emails hitting my inbox—stuff like some random Avril Lavigne fan club, for example. And then, there's always this attachment that just... starts opening itself (which is super rude, honestly) without me doing anything at all. The files have these Latin phrases for names, too; the most recent one was called cogito_ergo_sum.exe.
Is this some kind of virus?
I went ahead and wiped everything out, so I guess I should ask: was that the right move?
I’ve always felt that Metabolism needs to be revved up at the cellular level first. Digestion itself should really just be a byproduct of that process.
I mean, sure, if we just focus on getting things moving through our system, that doesn't actually mean we've successfully jumpstarted our cellular metabolism.
