Sometimes I feel like I haven't done enough, to get my mother justice, for having her life senselessly ended by Jack Noir. However, I also, on balance, wonder what else or more, even, that I could have done? Life is confusing sometimes.
Sometimes I love relaxing in bed with a charcuterie board of crackers, cheeses, cold cuts, and olives, typically accompanied with an interesting magazine, and classical music on the radio.
￣\ oh girl i know you are sleeping in a SEA of crumbs /￣
Came to say this exactly.
Not if you use a beach towel on top of the bedding.
One day, probably a long time from now. I'm going to able to play violin like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwHvfEc1KfE
OFFICIAL STATEMENT: Following further amendments today, and debate on my bill (requiring @potusOfficial to trigger the Intergalactic Council's Bill of Interplanetary Rights: Article X, Clause 9, and challenge Doc Scratch's presumed leadership of The Felt, in the view of deciding on a leader best suited to defend the rights of Earth C citizens), I can announce that the bill has passed by a majority of 3 votes. Final vote in the Great Hall's voting chamber was 387-384.
Sensational news. Excellent reporting as always.
Congratulations to the 118 new members (broken down into 26 for each of the four kingdoms of Earth C, and 14 who were elected as cross-kingdom members) taking their seats in Earth C's Grand Hall voting chamber after yesterday's snap elections, and following ten months of renovations, which included relocating the cafeteria, gift shop, and bathrooms to behind the live music and comedy lounge.
My music tastes are so all over the place, especially in the realm of Jazz & Blues, that I could make the statement that Ron Aspery is an underrated musician, and it's very likely you wouldn't know who I'm talking about.
How much Jazz are you looking for here? I could go for a while. I need limits.
no limits i love music i could go on and on and share cool music legit all day
Parchman Farm by Mose Allison? Rough Treatment by Ron Aspery? Take Five by Dave Bruebeck? A Wink and a Smile by Harry Connick Jr.? Blue Country Blues by Back Door? In The Mood by Glenn Miller? Feeling Good by Michael Buble? Funky Sunrise by Duncan Lamont? I've given you too much, haven't I.
doing my research and i will get back to you on this asap starting from the first now
This sounds incredibly exciting.
parchman farm (he killed his fucking wife???) rough treatment (cool guitars) take five (really twin peaks 10/10, good percussion) a wink and a smile (cozy, warm, good vocals) blue country blues (good vibe, felt like a gameshow track) in the mood (ive heard this one before, really good energy) feeling good (i like the composing and master on this) funky sunrise (ohhh hell yeah the flutes on this rule) good suggestions no misses i think wink and a smile, funky sunrise and take five are my favorites
wait shit i replied to myself heres my thoughts below
Wow, you actually listened to them! Parchman Farm is an old Earth prison, which is what makes the song so interesting. Also, the instrument on Funky Sunrise is surprisingly not a flute, but a recorder.
its really good, i liked it. most stuff from the kpm is really good
im always down to suggest or listen to music and i will listen unlike most people, feel free to DM me any suggestions you have in the future ill peep em for sure
With no voting or debate happening in Earth C's Grand Hall today due to laws and regulations surrounding snap elections, we've decided to open the live music and comedy lounge to the public. First and second drinks will be free, but there will be no entertainment unless a band or wannabe comedian decides to show up.
I will be present, for those wondering. However, I will not be partaking in any alcohol.
You've made a huge mistake here, Scratch. The debate and voting for that bill is Friday, not Wednesday. The Grand Hall will be open for that, we've even had some members of The Felt present themselves as possible candidates Post-Scratch. (See what I did? I think it's clever!).
As previously stated, I do not plan to partake in any alcohol consumption. However, if my fellow constituents would find it helpful or at all clarifying, I may be willing to partake in a shot of alcohol as long as it is after 5:00.
if by drinks y0u mean alc0h0l then i might maybe c0nsider p0ssibly c0ming.
It's a live music and comedy lounge, there's definitely alcohol, and those are part of the free drinks. Constituents who show proof of having voted in today's snap elections also get an option of a third drink free or a snack.
h0w d0 i get pr00f 0f v0ting.
Vote at one of the many signposted voting stations, and you'll be given a receipt for having voted. Just bring that.
0k but what if i d0n't have a g0vernment id 0r a legal identity can i still v0te 0r is that illegal.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT: This is a friendly reminder for all residents of Earth C to cast their votes today in their own kingdom's snap elections. A total of 118 seats for newly elected leaders are now open, following ten months of renovations to the Grand Hall's voting chamber, which included relocating the cafeteria, gift shop, and bathrooms to behind the live music and comedy lounge.
I thought I'd try one of these "health shakes" that everyone is talking about on social media. Apparently wellness now means willingly drinking something that tastes like lemon, moss, and freshly mowed existential despair. I can only assume the appeal lies in the aesthetic of suffering, as if punishing your taste buds hard enough will ascend your soul to some higher plane of curated self-optimization.
It is so fascinating to read about a cosmic instance of myself with a tea-retardant tongue. Not in the least bit your fault, but it breaks the immersion that would be inherent to accepting piety of personage.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT: The Four Kingdoms Party tonight decided to vote with the ruling party of @potusOfficial in more than fifteen amendments to my bill, which is due to be debated and voted on Friday. It now reads as: "That the Great Hall requires the President of Earth C to trigger the Intergalactic Council's Bill of Interplanetary Rights: Article X, Clause 9; in wishing to block Doc Scratch's presumed leadership of The Felt. This challenge, in wishing to protect Earth C's best interests on the interplanetary stage, will instil a leader, chosen by the people of Earth C at a later date."
Of course. Earth C has always held a democratic process.
Excellent reporting as always, Miss Lalonde. Once again, thank you for keeping Alternians informed.
It depends on the context. In regards to Earth C, it will strengthen the stock market significantly. If you hold stocks in The Felt, it is decidedly less predictable.
The shower remains, as ever, a sanctum for the mind's most dubious revelations. It is there, mid-lather, mid-existential drift, that I arrived at a truly questionable epiphany: The sudden, unshakable urge to cook ramen not in water, but in carbonara sauce. I cannot yet determine whether this is culinary innovation, or a cry for help.
every hot bitch ive ever known loves to bring a whole can of soda into the shower and drink it
also unrelated but sitting in the shower > standing
ur in luck..... my sources say this is a certified #thing
carbonara styled ramen is a thing i think! sounds really tasty!
Oh, what a profound and stabilizing revelation! Truly, I can rest easy knowing this dubious culinary impulse has been formally recognized as "a certified thing".
This sounds like something that only exists in Diet Coke commercials of the 80s and 90s.
Maybe I should go through with it, so we can all gather around and marvel at my unmatched talent for being awful at cooking. Yes, let us revel together in the miraculous moment I somehow manage to char it beyond all comprehension!
i could help you learn if you want!
OFFICIAL STATEMENT: Earth C's Great Hall has today voted to support local community radio stations by covering their operating costs, including music licensing (where applicable), wages (to a reasonable amount), and studio / equipment rentals. The criteria for applying is that stations must broadcast for a minimum of 12 hours per day, and broadcast across the entirety of no more than one the four kingdoms.
Excellent post, Miss Lalonde. Thank you for keeping the community informed!
It is. I'd like to thank you for your impassioned speech in the Great Hall on why we should support local radio stations, it was helpful in winning around some of the critics.
Yes. It is my duty to inform the residents of the Carapace Kingdom of policy changes, as one of their Administrative Leaders.
In a previous chittr, I noted, perhaps with more restraint than the situation deserved, that the charming residents of our delightful maximum-security penitentiary, "The Condescension Chamber", were to be granted the dubious and undeserved luxury of mediated internet access. And now, as if the cosmos feared it hadn't quite twisted the knife with sufficient enthusiasm, I learn that Jack Noir will be among the beneficiaries! Ah, splendid. Truly, the universe continues to outdo itself in tasteful decisions. There's nothing quite like knowing that the monster who murdered my mother will soon be afforded the opportunity to browse, post, and presumably inflict his particular brand of hate upon a wider audience. But by all means, let's continue. It's clearly going so well.
Could a Violin Solo exist within a Jazz Song, in place of a saxophone? Asking for a friend.
Seems I've finally found a moment to actually update my bio.
I can announce that I'm starting to write my first novel; A work of fiction loosely based on real events. "Stabbed" (preliminary title, subject to change) — An epic murder mystery about a girl whose mother is senselessly stabbed to death.
hit me up when you want a beta reader!!
Oh, totally. I can even get you in the Special Thanks section!
i would be honored!!!
I'm still feeling Jimmy Buffett's Cheeseburger in Paradise... "Cheeseburger in Paradise! Medium-rare, with mustard'd be nice: Heaven on Earth, with an onion slice! I'm just a Cheeseburger in Paradise! I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and French-fried potato! Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer, Well, good God almighty which way do I steer!"
So true. Say it loud and say it proud.
You Have Such Rare Tastes My Darling If Not For Your Sharing I Would Have Never Known About This Morsel Of Esoterica
You haven't even heard, "Margheritaville" or "Pencil Thin Mustache". They're even better Jimmy Buffett songs!
When somebody opens up chittr, and sees all the new chits that have been written since they've last been online, do they say, "Oh chit!"?
yes.
I've just heard word through proper channels that prisoners in our maximum security penitentiary on Earth C, "The Condescension Chamber", are getting mediated Internet Access from tonight. Hopefully this means I'll still be able to avoid being in contact with the monster that ended my mother's life!
"= even the padded cells? ="
I don't know exactly. I hope not, that's why I shrugged off Jack Noir being able to contact me!
I challenge you to listen to the unbridled lyricism of Jimmy Buffett's Cheeseburger in Paradise, and not come to the conclusion the song is a thing of beauty that has remained underrated for way too long.
"Cheeseburger in Paradise! Heaven on Earth, with an onion slice. Not too particular, not too precise: I'm just a Cheeseburger in Paradise!"
