There was a first week of January here. It's gone now.




Jan 8

Outfit of the Day



it snowed today!




Song of the Day



Quote:
I feel I'm tragic like Marlon Brando
When I look at my China girl.
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China girl

I've never actually heard the David Bowie version of this all the way through. But, happy birthday Bowie!
Something about Voltaire's voice just really makes this song for me...






?!

Holy smokes, I won Admin's pic!!!

Outfit of the Day


oof. rough day.




Song of the Day



Quote:
Yeah, he was drunk and exhausted, he was critically acclaimed and respected
He loved the Golden Gophers but he hated all the drawn-out winters
He likes the warm feeling but he's tired of all the dehydration
Most nights were kind of fuzzy but that last night he had total retention
this whole album is really amazing, so here's a link to that too.

gonna get some mad chores done today, holmes.




Song of the Day



Quote:
I played video games in a drunken haze, I was 17 years young.
Hurt my knuckles punching the machines, the taste of scotch rich on my tongue.
And then Cathy showed up and we hung out, trading swigs from a bottle, all bitter and clean.
Locking eyes, holding hands; twin high maintenance machines.

another song from an amazing album! Sunset Tree is essential listening material, check it out.

What did you make me watch?

Couldn't I just lock them all in and torch the place?

...

Also your Outfit of the Day drawings are cute. ;D

are you trying to tell me you lived through the 90s and never saw Aaron's Party before?!
and that's true, but what will you tell your poor dear old mother about her prized tapestry?

thank you!! i'm using Wind Waker Link as a base because i'm lazy, so it's super fun! sometimes i get a good idea in this dusty old thing up here. *knocks on skull, bat flies out*

i've been so sick all day, bluhhh. i lost my voice yesterday and it's still not really back. *sucks on a lozenge.




Song of the Day



Quote:
Hand me your hand, let me look in your eyes
as my last chance to feel human begins to vaporize.
Maybe it's the heat in here, maybe it's the pressure;
you ought to head for the exits, the sooner the better.

The Mountain Goats again today. they're my favorite band.

I thought Aaron Carter was your favorite band.

Aaron Carter... They are many.

Like Legion.

*spent the 90s listening to The Cure*

Outfit(s) of the Day


school starts tomorrow, aaaahhhh! and then i'm flying out to Chicago on Wednesday for the LGBTQ Task Force's Creating Change conference, which should be way fun! i'm thinking of drawing my outfits in advance so I know what to pack...




Song of the Day



Quote:
On the next try I'll be much sweeter
Yeah, in the next life I'll be better...
I toss dimes in the wishing well
And I'm broke cause you took all of me
My tombstone on a grassy hill
It's a matter of fact, all my change goes to hell.

Outfit(s) of the Day



I got sooo sick when I was in Chicago... puking from Friday morning till Sunday night, after I flew home. A lot of sleep helped!




Song of the Day



I literally CAN NOT stop watching this music video! The song is definitely an earworm, although I don't really like it that much without the video to go along... it just gets stuck in my head.

But I am just a broken machine
And I do things that I don't really mean.
Long black night, morning frost
I'm still here, but all is lost

Everything stays right where you left it.
Everything stays, but it still changes
ever so slightly, daily and nightly,
in little ways, when everything stays.




Quote:
If I could begin to be
Half of what you think of me,
I could do about anything,
I could even learn how to love.

February 14

Ick, it's Vamlumtimes times.... the one time of year when people are legally permitted to publicly be in a romantic relationship without the usual threat of evisceration by the giant undead vultures who feed on the butterflies in your stomach. i, for one, would welcome such an evisceration today, but i guess even entrail-eating undead vultures need a day off. tomorrow, everything will be back to normal, and we can all carry on feeling absolutely nothing, loving no one, and once again convincing ourselves that the person we loved so deeply on Vamlumtimes was nothing more than a figment of some fantastical dream and that they crumbled into dust when the night ended. sure, deep down we all know that our paramours continue to exist on every other day of the year, and that they are out there too, somewhere, feeling our same hollowness, our same insatiable yearning; and there is nothing we can do about it, and so we continue telling ourselves the lies we need to believe in order to survive. Ain't that just the way?


Outfits

i got bored with drawing my IRL outfits because i rarely have the energy to put on a good outfit and i've kinda already drawn all my good clothes, so today i drew my avatar's outfit! i might go back and draw old avatars too, hmm...







Song of the Day



Quote:
She sends me blue valentines all the way from Philadelphia
to mark the anniversary of someone that I used to be.
And it feels just like there's a warrant out for my arrest
Got me checkin' in my rearview mirror, and I'm always on the run.
Thats why I change my name, and I didn't think you'd ever find me here.

February 29/March 1

Things have been feeling extra hard & shitty... blech.




Songs of the Day


Quote:
It's a bitch convincing people to like you.
If I stop now, call me a quitter;
If lies were cats, you'd be a litter.
Pleasing everyone isn't like you...



Quote:
I'm tired of everyone I know,
of everyone I see on the street and on TV.
On the other side, on the other side,
nobody's waiting for me on the other side.
I hate them all, I hate them all.
I hate myself for hating them.
So I'll drink some more, I'll love them all, I'll drink even more,
I'll hate them even more than I did before.

Quote:
me gusta encontrar que existe en la vida esta posibilidad
de que todo se dé vuelta, cuando no esperaba ya novedad.
y algo viene, algo se va
pero me pongo a dudar
me confundo no distingo si está bien o está mal.
si está bien, agradezco y te corresponderé
si está mal, como nuna lloraré
mientras tanto apuesto todo por saber.

oh man, it sure is a good thing that audience can keep a beat so well ahaha. also, this conductor is GREAT.

Quote:
The night is lovely as a rose
If I see sunlight hit you
I am sure that we'll both decompose

Ah, the fitful sleep and the fire engines
That I dream of when I dream
Someday we'll both wake up for good
I will try hard not to scream


Quote:
I'm not feeling alright today,
I'm not feeling that great.
I'm not catching on fire today,
Love has started to fade.

I'm not going to smile today,
I'm not gonna laugh.
You're out living it up today,
I've got dues to pay.
