bright sunny morning

the front of the house gets the sunlight in the morning (where horsemouth’s bedroom is) - it takes a while to reach the backgarden - and the kitchen (horsemouth’s most used room).

yesterday horsemouth topped-up the bus card (garages) and then walked out to the ruins of carrigaline castle - sadly it’s not open to the public so he had to be content with the view from the road and peeking through the gate. he paused to eat his lunch on a small bridge - there were flowers like ox-eye daisies in the water.

in the afternoon he’s ashamed to say he snoozed, listened to music and wandered round the house. howard has done a new mix (emahoy, fleetwood mac(!), and desert sun- two escapees from the manson family).



horsemouth listened to it and then watched a number of documentaries on the manson family in the evening. manson’s followers (and former followers) are left worryingly disininhibited and the media comes and invited them into notoriety.the media does more to solve the crime than the cops. manson had enough talent to attract attention as a songwriter (brian wilson stealing one of his songs for the beach boys, neil young praising him) but he was too much of liability to close the deal - or perhaps not, perhaps if he’d been just a bit luckier the family would have been written up as some utopian commune. thereafter he was on a death trip, moving out to the desert, to death valley even. 

horsemouth always avoided this kind of material (patty hearst, jonestown) - the temple ov psychik youth, vague etc. were always interested in it. he just thinks it’s bad behaviour, a monument in skulls to the failure of love, how is that interesting?
