On some lowkey Wallace Stevens shit this Sunday morning.

It’s a blustery, dark day, though. No sunny chair. No green-winged cockatoo around. Closest thing is the calls of migrant geese on the wind, and our dog’s occasional whimpers at the creaking trees and house noises, and/or at us for just sitting around.

Especially appropriate because I used to be a believing Mormon so coffee is a no-no for every morning, but perhaps an especial sacralege for Sunday morning when I’m supposed to be at church taking the sacrament and recommitting to do and not do a bunch of things such as not drink coffee. Death and resurrection, newness of life. Awake and arise.

The friendmaking challenge really threw me off and I stopped playing this for a long time, but I finally got back to it and pushed through to finish the main storyline. I kind of love this game.

This game has been hillarious to me and I probably should write something more about it and my weird reaction to the friendmaking part. It is silly and fun but also has an occasional dark satirical and slightly cynical take on human society. Or maybe I’m bringing my own issues to the game. This is what I should probably explore. But not today.

Apparently I love Canadian video games?

I’m hooked after starting this on a whim one day while browsing Apple Arcade for the first time on my laptop. I’d wanted to play something on the Switch but not enough to kick my kids off the Switch.

This was so real to me as a 14 year old, and a little bit scary. First Smashing Pumpkins album I purchased. And I still like listening to it now, I guess.

Started reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe with Will tonight. First two chapters, about 10%.

I kind of wanted us to try something new but this is good. A great read. Comfort read?

(I built a playlist to finally try the original 3LP Vinyl edition tracklisting: Dawn - Tea Time - Dusk - Twilight - Midnight - Starlight)

It works, or at least it doesn’t make any less sense than the regular CD track order…and I didn’t have to spend $700 or whatever to try it. I think I could have bought this for $75 at some point but I didn’t have the money.

Here it is -

dawn

1. mellon collie and the infinite sadness
2. tonight, tonight
3. thirthy-three
4. in the arms of sleep
5. take me down

tea time

1. jellybelly
2. bodies
3. to forgive
4. here is no why
5. porcelina of the vast oceans

dusk

1. bullet with butterfly wings
2. thru the eyes of ruby
3. muzzle
4. galapogos
5. tales of a scorched earth

twilight

1. 1979
2. beautiful
3. cupid de locke
4. by starlight
5. we only come out at night

midnight

1. where boys fear to tread
2. zero
3. an ode to no one
4. love
5. x.y.u.

starlight

1. stumbleine
2. lily (my one and only)
3. tonite reprise ❋
4. farewell and goodnight
5. infinite sadness ❋

❋ vinyl only bonus tracks, sourced from The Aeroplane Flies High Deluxe Edition for purposes of my playlist.

This was a “personalized” suggestion for me from the Apple Music algorithm and it was a good one. I hate that a little bit, but glad to learn of this band.
