Dutch of the day: een prachtige verjaardag!

I actually have that very CD, holy fuck. I have it on the IKEA shelf right behind me. BRB dancing.

Moo, moo, moo, moo, moo, moo, moo.

And then the bass drops, and the bird hits the downbeat to a millisecond.

And sometimes by a weird accident it pauses just when there's a pause in the music before the bass drops.

But it does match everything else.

Just not the rhythm. The bird is too stupid to match the 152 BPM.

And it's a match made in heaven. A perfect match of frequency, volume, and timbre. The pigeon and the techno.

But now there's also some techno music from the neighours'. Or house music, I should say.

On an unrelated note, there's a wood pigeon in my garden doing his usual moo-moo-moo. As he does all day, every day.

Anyway, the person that had the original objection has since reconsidered. So it's all fine and I'm leaving it as-is for now.

That said, Mandelstam just doesn't care about Whoopie. Frankly, he doesn't care about quite a lot of things. What a guy.

@Cerberus yeah well personally I absolutely hate that word with a passion. The first time ever that I heard that word was in the title of a movie that Whoopie Goldberg was in. So I've hated it ever since, and with a passion.

@Mitch also I do have fat legs. From all the participating in all the cycling races, I quite still do. Despite not having moved an inch in years.

@Mitch yeah well, that's the thing. I wouldn't have to care about the meter, and first thing in the morning as well, if only I didn't have to care about the meter, which I do.

PC gone mad.

But somehow nobody ever asks that.

@Robusto the way, way important question is: Is "gay" gender-neutral anymore?

Cheers.

Question at all resident collocators. Thanks.

Can tenderness not be bogus?

Even though that's what the original says, but that's beside the point for now.

I did a translation and it said "bogus tenderness" and now I'm getting pushback for that.

Poetry hour!

Anyway.

Many people weigh that much, like. Or almost that much. Their legs carry them all day no problem.

Also, how is 120kg a lot.

Why is this getting flagged.

The Earthsea Quartet is a permanent fixture on my bedside table, and has been for years now, because I only ever read the Wizard and the Tombs and have been meaning to read the remaining two, but that just never happens somehow.

I think the last two things that I read was that short story the movie Arrival was based on. And before that a short story by Asimov. And before that I can't even remember.

No time even for short stories. Not even O. Henry or Twain or Doyle.

Poetry is really the only thing that I still read on a regular basis.

@Robusto Somehow I can never find any time to read anymore. Except for non-fiction and sheet music, maybe, but those don't count.

People on the Internet are so helpless, it's really quite worrying.

Or go to a score of yours, click on its privacy setting, and then try selecting "unlisted".

Just visit a shoe store, yo.

I'm looking at my shoes, and noticing that they're both the same colour. That makes me wonder: Do shoes of other colours even exist?

Certainly to determine what options are available to you, you have to look at the list of options that are available to you, rather than at the subset of options that you're currently using.

What a weird logic to use.

It's the trail we blaze.
