The cliff and the strawberry

I am pleased to report that I am in a better and calmer mood today. I believe I may have achieved a satisfying night of sleep, even though it was mostly experienced in short bursts. I was going to stay in bed a little longer, but an initial sense of sleep deprivation soon wore off.

I’m never sure whether or not to hyphenate “sleep deprivation”. What do you think?

I’m now watching Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, which is as wonderful as all his movies. I loved the bit where the narrator, Bryan Cranston, accidentally interrupts a scene, subsequently apologising and exiting. I think Tom Hanks had to replace Bill Murray for some reason, although I don’t know the circumstances for this. I do hope Mr Murray is well.

I’ve played some electric guitar, which was fun. It’s nice feeling a little more active and inspired. I played that new Nashville Telecaster through a Vox emulation pedal then out my Fender Vibro Champ amplifier.

I’m pressing pause on Asteroid City a lot, which is what I tend to do whilst watching a film. I have a very short attention span and always feel like I should be doing something else, whatever task I find myself undertaking. My love making has been described as “sporadic but thorough”.

It’s a shame Wes Anderson hasn’t used Jared Gilman since Moonrise Kingdom. Sam and Suzy always remind me of me and my ex - social outcasts who eventually found each other. That’s why her passing away hurts so much. She was my soulmate.

Why did she have to go.

My old school friend has finally broken his usual weekend silence, albeit a day late. Sometimes it does take an extra day. Our conversation is as bawdy as usual. He’s not much for small talk. Neither am I.

One must discuss great matters, or none at all!

Anyway, I think I’ll have ham and egg on toast for lunch. I’ve taken a homemade dish out of the freezer for diner. I’m not sure what the dish is exactly, but I assume it’ll go well with rice or couscous. They usually do.

The weather has improved, at least visually. It’s been dark and wet these last few days, which I believe has been affecting my mood significantly.

No new debit card has arrived yet, although I am browsing for some new musical equipment to help keep my balance down.

I have money, just no means in which to use it. How can one start off the year with too many debit cards, then find themself with none?! Only this could happen to me. I best not dwell on it. Where’s my mental totem?!

Right, back to Asteroid City…

Burp.
