'this is our last dance. this is ourselves'

 trying this again

it actually rectifies a defect in the original

that you can't hear how amazingly good the words are...

'cause love's such an old fashioned word

and love dares you to care for

the people on the edge of the night

and love dares you to change our way of

caring about ourselves

this is our last dance

this is our last dance

this is ourselves

under pressure.'

so it's another lockdown (horsemouth believes). (notice the way the song returns to its start 'under pressure' - crafty that). that's the problem with queen, (and to some extent bowie too) too smart to be actually loveable.

it has been pointed out that boris has a distressing habit of delaying decisions until everybody is in agreement about what is to be done and then doing that. he is, in horsemouth's parlance a pencil sharpener - as soon as the work is set the pencil sharpener will slowly begin to retrieve their pencil case, extract a pencil, disgard it, choose another, look in the case for a pencil sharpener, make sure it is clean enough, look around for a bin into which to empty the sharpenings... when the pencil is nice and sharp the student is ready to work and then another student can be asked what answer they get or how to do it. the main aim is to take avoid the risk of being wrong. to make use of the general intellect. and affirm connections and friendships.

one of napoleon's generals had a way of shielding him from unwanted correspondence - any correspondence arriving was simply shoved into a desk unread and left (if it was significant then a messenger would be sent, otherwise it could wait).

last night profundo rosso (again). available in a history of horror series. also available (mixed up in a series of horror shorts is meshes in the afternoon). horsemouth finds the grisly murders not to his taste but he finds the set design, costumes, the way things are made to move, very much to his taste. apparently argento wanted pink floyd for the soundtrack (but he's lucky to have got goblin).

horsemouth is hiding out at his parents at some point he may/will have to return. today he works (twice), permissions and connections permitting.

yesterday breakfast, work (success), faff about, a walk on the common, dinner, a movie (and repeat).
