back from ireland (sideways into august)

horsemouth is back amongst you (though he still hasn’t as yet unpacked). he must plan for august - he needs to get a musicians of bremen duo gig in before howard goes back to school (and then some solo gigs to give him an opportunity to sell the musicians of bremen volume three CD to the masses). he’s listening to the CD now - it sounds good.

there’s a nice diagram online - a juxtaposition of two diagrams it has
A) the plan - a nice straight line moving directly to the goal and it has
B) what actually happened - a meandering route with many doglegs and loops leading to an outcome roughly 50% lower than the direct route.

life is of course way more B than it is A (horsemouth should know this as a derridean). but it doesn’t suit him - he’s way more an A type person than a B type person - he just wishes he could relax and enjoy the meandering more. the journey as he believes it’s called. sadly horsemouth is an anxious person, he is not someone who swims confidently out, he is someone who inches round the swimming pool of life holding onto the side (hence all the planning and theorising - attempting to make all that flux and mutability bearable).

today a quick run up the supermarket (aldiidllidl aldilidllidl) in pursuit of more erstwhile bargains before it gets too hot. yesterday horsemouth researched various versions of katy cruel - he has a version of it he can play but he’d like to extend it out with more lyrical and musical material.
