"KANGA ROO, SKIPPY ROO"
It snowed here finally, was waiting for it because we haven't had any so far and it's become a yearly thing recently. It never used to be. Before the last 3 years I'd seen snow probably about 3 times in my whole life and then about 3 years ago it started to snow 3 times a year...and now I'm a bit confused when there isn't snow.
Clearly the weather system for the UK is tipping into apocolypse mode.
I just hate the snow. I mean I like it as an abstract thing, as an thing that just lays glittering on the ground but in all reality it doesn't exist long in that form because the moment day comes and there is the requirement to actually do something it just causes fucking chaos.
The slightest excuse to take the buses off entirely or just to reduce and cut the service and the bus company will do that and I still have to get to work 3 miles away, which means walking part of the way there.
I tell you if there's one thing I hate more than walking to and from work for 3 miles so that I can stand on my feet for 7 hours at a time, it's walking over snow and ice which make me slip and slide all over the fucking place in sub zero temperatures whilst teenage boys hurl massive, frozen, brick like packs of compacted snow at my face, whilst fucking doing it.
I HATE THE SNOW seriously IT NEEDS TO FUCK OFF.
It's only a matter of time before I seriously hurt myself coming up and down that long steep fucking hill that I have to take to get out of this estate (because it's raised on a hill)and there will only be more of it and well its probably all ice out there so extra specially treacherous.
Gonna have to walk it again today because no one has the initiative to fucking grit the bus route so the buses can get through and they aren't coming up here so.
:(
Do I not hate work enough without making me walk there.
I love Severed Heads (the music of) as I'm sure some of you know. Sometimes I seriously wonder how I existed before Severed Heads/Tom Ellard's beautifully disquieting music.
Mainly I like it because it terrifies me.
I feel like the marrow in my bones has all turned to ice when I'm listening to it because there is nothing more intune with my inner terrors over existence and its haunting impermanence than the sounds he's been responsible for. I can hear the end of time in their/his songs, can see the rush of a tsunami over the earth, the blotting of the sun by sulphur clouds.
SEVERED HEADS MAKES ME AFRAID and as is the case with things that make me afraid I feel it WOULD BE STUPID TO NOT WATCH IT STEADILY TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HURT ME.
Well apart from this song song by them, this just makes my heart full. I cannot watch this video on my iPhone for some reason? How sad am I about that.
Click to viewI think it's about the rejection of religious faith maybe for the worship of a human beean? The lyrics would suggest so.
"I am willing to believe, wishing to be strong, fighting on your side."
The video is awesomesauce too if lol dated what with its Eighties tech - (some v nice use of the video synth there Mr Ellard -- I jizz when the massive superimposed hand switches before him and behind at 04:30-05:00 it's a smooth move from clearly quite primitive technology). The big building man and the projection of a building against his face in the video also brilliantly showcases Ellard's documented love of architects dressing up as their buildings.
Cos apparently architects used to do that back in the day.
link to video footage of them doing it
??
lolrite?
inorite?
I'll think of them when I'm trudging through the snow to get to that shithole and I'll :D
