Remember that a melody slides over a shifting rhythm leaving only a thin residue


I told Miki earlier via Facebook Chat (a bane, itself, to existence). And we have just now decided to instead use either Whatsapp or Viber or, confusingly, both simultaneously since Facebook Chat is a bane to anyone’s existence. In fact, the existence of one who uses Facebook Chat is mottled with decay. These fraught souls wither before others. I, too, am afflicted, obviously, but am stronger in hara and spirit than social wallowing ilk. Anyone reading even slightly closely has ...

My shoulders were crushed by perished social climbers


The current music singing in my ears is Dogshit on the Shoulders of Giants by Upsilon Acrux. It’s not first date music. Perhaps it could be second date music. My guess is that it’d be music more suited to a dismembering party. That being ascertained, I remind everyone for the first time that Shambal Brambel actually conducted a dismembering party once upon a time. Unfortunately, the foci of the entertainment were already deceased. Shambal had grown tired of one peculiar ...

Filling the spaces between notes, where silence floats, is not obligatory


I’m slightly surprised that my livejournal still exists. Its last entry is from 2008 and it is incredibly generic. I posted a photo of myself by recommendation of Aimee Estes, a person best left to push up the poppies. Furthering a fruition of opium is something beneficial that her useless bag of flesh could do for humanity. Anyhow, I began going through an entry from Christmas Day 2005 entitled 100 Things About Me a month or so ago. This evening, ...

Fronds littered the garden, masking her unruly tongue


I began the specifications of a new piece of music a few days ago and it crept into my dreams during the subsequent nights. Out of these somnambulant encounters came a clear structure. This one will be under four minutes, I promise, dear Demi-God of musical composition who forms a dome over me of inquiet, resonant, conscious chambers. As I have been wont to do since my distant past, out from my hara sprang a sort of chord progression. Initially, ...

Monophonic, crepuscular and half-glimpsed


I decided to re-read the Foundation books by Isaac Asimov. I half jokingly write re-read because I don’t believe I have ever read even the initial trilogy in its entirety. Following a suggestion by Isaac himself somewhere near the aorta of the internet, I begun Prelude to Foundation a few days back. It’s puttering along quite nicely. Psychohistory is it its infancy. Or, rather, psychohistory has been conceived and its gestation will crescend during the curve of the story. Or ...

Worry not, child, for your line will be cut


Before Shambal knew with any clarity he’d be sessile for centuries, he was a man of ephemera. He’d still be were it not for the condition keeping him tied to a hovel in a wasted land. His own waste continues to churn beneath him to create power and a superficial luxury. Robotic apparati scuttle, clunking here and there, often even tidying up and bringing him required quantities of comestibles. The quantity is immense. In order to excrete enough to power ...

I lived in the soundbox of Thelonious's sweet and lovely nightmare for 17 days


As I candidly continue from another curious day: I try to never order the same thing twice in a row at a restaurant. I do go to restaurants time and again. I resist mightily the urge to stab contemporary clientele with soiled utensils. Soiled utensils are the best if you go through with murderous intentions since it infuses victims with your silava. This liquid, which flows freely from a crevasse beneath your lolling tongue, is like a tattoo you force ...

Sleep while we pray for our lives


Before you shoot yourself in the face with a water pistol filled with bleach to cleanse the horrors of not knowing the source of the subject of this entry, I shall just start out by telling you. It’s from the wobbly lyrics of the first and title song, Largo, from an album I just acquired by Bill Rieflin and Chris Connelly. The latter sure has a wobbly voice. The record still got made and should show me that I should ...

Just what are BRANCH TABLES and why would you want to use them in your current project?


I finished breakfast. Were I to say something similar in Spanish, Acabé el desayuno, I’d be routinely criticised in fair La Rioja for grammatical misuse. At worst, I’d be called a panchito and stoned until fragments of bones protruded from flesh. Perhaps I say this because I happened idly upon my ex-spanish teacher last night during an evening stroll. I ignored him, or he ignored me, or simply didn’t notice me in the crowd. I’d prefer to think the former. ...

What I'll wear to your burial


Here, I shall set out a few goals for the coming weeks. I shall accomplish but few of them, if any at all, but I certainly have a grand time making plans for the imminent future. Before I do so, I shall procrastinate one moment by telling my gentle and teary reader that I am listening to a beautiful album called The Room by Harold Budd. I recommend it to all. Actually, I began it last night as I was ...

Chirstian is in the toilet. He belongs there, as do we all. I’m sure he . chris does not care for anything. He is the sociapath.the people who don’’t have a clue are christian’s point of view. i shall care for them until they are corpses. They rot in the fields while we wander in the wastes. That is very chliced. Chris sits before me as a atomaton of these days. We will die together. ...
