Hey, @richards7370.bsky.social --

Well, that keeps me from having to decide amongst all these "shooting an arrow" songs I selected.
#SoundtrackThis Day 20 Train

"Nowhere Fast" / The Smiths
And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean
And when a train goes by, it's such a sad sound

This right here. I recommend Questionable Content to people frequently and always have to go "uh..., well..." when asked what it is about. I have settled on literally reading the about page to them out loud.

No no, "tripmphe" works just fine as a portmanteau of a verb and the sound you make when doing it. It becomes onomatopoeic halfway through.

Just no, autocorrect.

Hey, if it wasn't for Apple's capricious redesigns seemingly untethered from users wants then I wouldn't even know the word "skeuomorphism." So there's that.
When I saw Killer Klowns from Outer Space, the entire row behind me was literally all clowns from Ringling Brothers. The circus train wintered in my city and I knew one of them. Each had a very distinctive laugh and the rest of the crowd would laugh at their laughs. Couldn't have been better.

"Write About Love" / Belle and Sebastian
The seconds move on (If you watch the clock)
And the sky grows dull (If youβre looking up)
But the girls move from thrill to thrill on the tightrope walk
