It’s been a month since Trump was sworn in. I want to ignore the swirling shit tornado of news and social media posts that are generated in his wake, but it is too pervasive. The hurt people are hurting people. No one else enjoys this destruction and cruelty. Congratulations assholes, you win. Everyone’s miserable now.

I’ve spent a good part of the last three weeks in a cannabis fog, breaking my abstinence streak spectacularly. Played an ass-load of Elden ring. Finished the main game, leisurely playing through the DLC now. Canada house purchase is moving forward, there’s so much to do on the USA house before its sale ready, and I’ve done virtually nothing on that front. Been eating like shit. I ate a whole box of choco-puffs or whatever the shit they’re called. There was 12 of them and I ate all of them between 10pm last night and 10am this morning. I gobbled them all and played Attack From Mars pinball until my THC-Methocarbamol chocolate brain started drooping. It’s miraculous that I am not a giant fat ass with this glamourous lifestyle.

I wanted a little more new music, so I checked the pitchfork list of best 2024 albums this morning. Number 1 was Diamond Jubilee by Cindy Lee. It reminds me of Camera Obscura, Broken Social Scene, Lo-Fi girl and B-movies from the sixties. It’s an appropriately slothful vibe.
