The kind of rain that a hardboiled detective would comment on.

Also Janice-from-Friends and Admiral Jarok from TNG show up! Harder to see a continuity through-line there…

6:26 pm —

I didn’t realise how many Twin Peaks reunions there were in the X-Files until this rewatch. Michael Horse and Don Davis already in the first season. Both playing suspiciously similar roles.

Turns out I may actually be able to predict a General Election.

Headaches before thunder may be the least impressive of all party tricks.

All of human endeavour as tinnitus.

Early morning heat-baked air above and the water–at this depth?–may as well be cool. Early morning white above and the water–at this depth?–may as well be night. A continuity of life, swarming things, and the background hum of men.

Clearly as apt as anything else.

We must be incomprehensibly slow to all the tiny garden things. Weirdly mobile bits of invasive house.

Reset the counter.

Made the rookie mistake of deciding to organise my hobby space, getting distracted with something else, and now having the psychological weight of ‘oh no, I need to finish all of that first’ preventing me from ever using it again…

11:41 am —

Some of the golfers may have been cows.

5:32 pm —

A day of misty train journeys. Only the closest trees, largest hills and occasional clumps of confused, wandering golfers are visible. All the things are light grey and all the light grey things are now the sea and also now the sky.

2:18 pm —

The sound of early-morning bin lorries on a day off work giving me childhood summer holiday vibes.
