Being outside all day as a cure for sour mood.
Being outside all day as an agent for forgetting.
Very bizarre dreams; recognition and realization; working harder.

This is the last post about Smashing Pumpkins, alright?
But really, guys, that 1-2-3 Mayonnaise-Spaceboy-Silverfuck near the end of Siamese Dream, I mean, why does anyone even bother anymore?
Thanks, I wanted to go, but this sends a weird message, and I think you know what message that is.

Am I losing focus as a form of self-sabotage, Dr. B?
I mean, we could work on it or we could not, but I’d like to.

This thing is alright for the time being, I guess.
Not much we could do about it, so I guess we’ll just go with it, I guess.
Billy Corgan in 1993 really understood how I feel in 2012.
Wish I were less of an adult baby and that I hadn’t missed the supermoon.

Where is my tax return?
I really need my tax return right now.
I guess maybe I’d like to go here before it drifts into the ocean.

“Here is how it kills: the parasite enters the blood through the slicing mouthparts and saliva of the Anopheles mosquito. It finds its way to the liver, where for a week or a month it divides asexually. Eventually, the swarm of parasites empties into the bloodstream, where they colonize red blood cells and burst them from within. Then come waves of fever followed by ebb tides of chills. The infected blood cells clump together and stick to vessel walls to avoid being drawn into the blood’s filters. Capillaries clog and hemorrhage; the whites of the eyes turn yellow, the fingernails white, the blood itself pale orange. Anemia, vomiting, and cramps follow. The spleen fills with destroyed blood cells and nearly doubles in size. In the great majority of cases, symptoms clear with treatment, or the victim recovers on his own, the disease little worse than a bad case of the flu. But in severe cases, especially in pregnant women and young children, the parasite overwhelms the host. The blood-brain barrier is breached, and cerebral malaria ensues: coma, organ failure, and death can occur within hours. The death of the host is of little evolutionary cost to the parasite. In the fever-wrack, or the weeks of dormancy, a single Anopheles mosquito lands, gorges itself on parasite-laden blood, and then flies away. A week later it feeds again, the falciparum in its gut is transferred to a new host, and the cycle begins anew.”

“The contact avoidance that he observes nevertheless makes him think only of compulsion and its rituals, while the ambivalent hostility it harbors suggests to him paranoid projection.”
