I filed my taxes. It was horrible.

Hope he doesn't win everything this year. Domination is boring.

I missed it :(

Fella across town said he's looking for a man
To move some old cars around
Maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out van
And do a little settling down

Born on this day in 1944: the great Townes Van Zandt

I'm looking forward to that crazy cobble race.

Excited for new season, I see :)

What idiot put a psychopath in charge of the US military.

Old gods rampaging across the globe. The chill of a dead man’s breath on your neck. The end of the world & the survivors facing something worse. The light at the end of the tunnel if only you can keep crawling towards it.

Whatever dark fiction you like, I hope you find it here.

And now I must listen to the Teen Titans theme:

Teen titan clash in Australia! That's my evening planned.

An intriguing door in a very posh but non-smug non-judgemental old wall.

A door in an old wall leading to a garden where you can bet there is a fucking crazy party happening

An old door in an old wall which is so arrogantly great, it’s almost disgusting.

Some dickhead had better not try to paint this great messed up old door in an even older wall or I am going over there with some people I know, and I am not kidding.

This might well become a thread.

I am calling it 'Bloody Hell, Aren't Doors On Old Walls Fucking Brilliant?'

Bloody hell, but toothache makes me cranky :(

If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now?

Just checking what the standards are these days.

Me: got vinyl, cassettes, CDs, but won't get a Spotify account :)
