    lost in the trees knitting

    dare you to try and resist this stuff

    all alone in an empty house

    i spent my whole life on you
    and i built you a gorgeous house
    to put up with your bitched mouth
    and i’ve thrown all my dreams right out

    and i’m so selfless here
    i’m so selfless here
    theres a cloud in my head
    i’m so selfless here

    and what do u want from me
    i’ve burried my own babies
    and i live all lone in an empty house
    i’ve thrown all my dreams right out

    and i’m so lonely here
    i’m so lonely here
    theres a cloud in my head
    i’m so lonely here

    so i tend the garden
    tend the garden
    tend the garden
    tend the garden
    tend the garden
    tend the garden
    tend the garden
    build the stone wall
    what are you hiding
    what are you hiding
    what are you hiding
    is something dirty
    something dirty
    what are you hiding
    what are you hiding
    something dirty
    where’s the baby
    where’s the baby
    where’s the baby
    go the baby
    you touched the baby
    you must be crazy
    i must be crazy
    i touched the baby
    hide in the tower
    hide in the tower
    hide in the tower
    right in the tower
    right in the tower
    right in the tower
    right in the tower
    for all i care ’cause i hear your soul
    and how i hate your soul
    will the church protect me
    how i hate your soul
    are we leaving
    are we ever leaving
    we’ve got black spots in our eyes
    are we ever leaving
    no where
    never meant to hurt anyone
    never meant to hurt anyone
    no plunge holes into the wall
    but never hurt anyone
    no, no one is perfect
    and, no one is perfect
    we’ve got holes in our heart
    no one is perfect

    walk around the lake (a proper video!)

    & as a bonus, their tiny desk concert at npr. two of the three above again, but different versions + you get to see them!

    this must qualify siggimuses colleagues & team mates in team eris as bona fide nerds

    next to these guys, siggimus is a veritable blob of normalcy

    (first line says problem of the day. they do not change this every day, but they have been known to have heated, nerdy, discussions on the solution)

    update (of sorts!): is this math?

  • brand “new” tv, part ii

    “new” tv is kinda working now

    sorta kinda

    there was no functioning remote, so there was no way to search for channels

    a flick through revealed four or five channels, two of them with actual proper sound and not just white noise

    those two are sky sports 2 & itv 2. so this weekend was x-factor weekend. probably last week’s stuff on repeat, not that it makes much difference if you didn’t watch it the first time

    managed to get some actual tv by recommissioning an ancient vcr that has spent the past 6 years or so taking up space & showing incorrect time

    no remote for that thing either, but you can (with difficulty) search for channels and such without one

    yay!

    unfortunately, a long long time ago, the makers of the vcr decided it would be real clever to include a feature that kills the thing if you don’t use it for 5 mins. you know, puts it to sleep, to save electricity and whatnot

    not insurmountable in itself when you have a fancy remote & can remotely poke it back to life, from the relative comfort of your greenish, if aging, couch

    but … well, at least we’re getting more exercise

    (part i of “new” tv saga)

  • out with the old

    & slightly broken

    the old and slightly broken - turning off when it thinks we´ve watched enough - one
    the old and slightly broken – turning off when it thinks we´ve watched enough – one

    in with the … erm … older & slightly less(?!?) broken

    the new and slightly less(?) broken - no remote to search for channels - one
    the new and slightly less(?) broken – no remote to search for channels – one

    so the old, humongous & broken tv that had taken to going off with a highly dramatic poof! when it deemed enough tv had been watched, has been replaced with a new(?!?) one that’s way petiter & fits snugly in the cabinet (a biiig plus)

    now, if only we could find a remote that works with this new one so we could search for channels other than sky sports 1, itv2 (pictured, in the middle of x-factor), the state tv channel with no sound & omega (local christian abhorrance)

  • loveless

    Seriously enjoying a long overdue reunion with my bloody valentine’s loveless

    (has it really been 19 years?!?)

    my bloody valentine – loveless

    on tree

  • our tv set is now possessed; if we watch too much tv, there is a highly melodramatic poof! and all goes blank

    then it refuses to come back on until we sacrifice a small pretend goat. or wait a bit
