Boab Prison Tree, Derby, Western Australia: The Baobab Prison Tree, Derby is a 1,500-year-old, large hollow Adansonia gregorii (Baobab) tree 6 kilometres south of Derby, Western Australia with a girth of 14.7 metres. It had been reputed to have been used in the 1890s as a lockup for indigenous Australian prisoners on their way to Derby for sentencing, but there is no evidence that it was ever used to house prisoners.

Desperately hungover, what a sad-sack, what a mess. His coffee table was seemingly split in half, TV torn off the wall-mount, hadn't removed his head from his hands long enough to really inspect the damage.

"The fuck did I do last night?" Croaked out, could barely hear himself over the ringing in his ears.

Song of the Day #17:

'Tokyo Á Go Go' by the Magnetic Fields (released 1992).

Tokyo Á go-go

Tokyo Á go-go

The dancing spies

With evil eyes

That walk the night

Tokyo Á go-go

Tokyo Á go-go

In colored scenes

The dancing queens

With laser beams

Track 5 on 'The Wayward Bus/Distant Plastic Trees' (and isn't that just a fantastic album name?).

Fun fact: One of Stephin Merritt's most prolific albums, '69 Love Songs' (a fantastic album, highly recommend for a road trip or housecleaning day) is where the song 'The Book of Love' (covered by many including my favourite version, by Peter Gabriel) came from. Merritt's favourite version is: 'is a seven-year-old girl singing it on Holland’s Got Talent. The instrumental accompaniment was cheesy, of course, but she really inhabited it in a way that you couldn’t imagine a seven-year-old girl doing. Particularly the line ‘We’re all too young to know’'. (Which he thought was particularly funny coming from a seven year old.)*

Personal blurb: *Sigh.* Okay okay. I know I said I was going to try not to do multiple songs from the same artist but I've been driving from one side of the country to the other quite a bit lately and this whole album has been keeping me such company. I can't get over how fun this song is. I mean, it is a crappy romantic spy film (you know the ones) in song form, and the beat is just so goofy and fun. It feels like it could be the theme music for Mr. and Mrs. Smith or the Pink Panther if they just fully embraced their cartoonish side (well, I guess the Pink Panther has already done that, quite literally). I just love how fun and ridiculous it is.

This whole album is so much fun. My top songs from it are:

(As you might know already) '100,000 Fireflies' for it's melancholy and strangely transporting message.

'Railroad Boy' which I LOVE. You know how you listen to an album multiple times and sometimes certain songs only reach you after you've listened to them on the 7th round? It's like reading a book or watching a movie and noticing something you've never appreciated before. It's why I can never listen to an album only once; I discover something new every time. This song in particular reminds me of this song from the movie 'Australia'. The movie was not bad, and I love the message of this song:

'By the Boab Tree' by Ophelia of the Spirits (which is an amazing name):

Both songs feel so magical to me.

I also really love 'When You Were My Baby', 'Candy', 'The Saddest Story Ever Told', 'Candy', 'Tar-Heel Boy', 'Living in an Abandoned Firehouse With You', and 'Josephine' is super fun because it's told from Napoleon's perspective (their love story was quite a cursed and interesting one; in the movie he says to her- though I doubt he said this to her in real life- when they have to face the public after a series of events: ‘All our harsh words are behind us. I need you to be my most tender friend’. I love that line).

My bonus is 'Jeremy' (and let's face it, I'd probably just list every song on the album if you gave me enough time). This one always amuses me because of Pearl Jam's 'Jeremy' and I always think this in my head whenever I hear it:

It's a great song. Trigger warning for school shooting references:

I remember the video for this being intense and good, although it's been years since I've watched it.

Anyway, enough ranting about the Magnetic Fields. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. Ralph Rant, if you will (that's my actual name).

The answer to yesterday's puzzle, after these fabulous guesses from my sister:

'So he didn’t cut of his wrong hand?

So he could get hooked easier?

So he could fish better? or zip line without anything?'

😆 The answer issssss:

*Drumroll.*

'Because after he cut off his left, he was hooked!'

*Ahem.*

Anyway.

What creature in the animal kingdom regards you as very attractive, Smalls?

Congrats to the PWHL, I think!

I wasn't the only one who saw this and got confused. Tsk, [dramatic sigh] just another grievance in a long list of grievances towards Ottawa. We should get the war room on this immediately.

World Watercolour Month 3: Turn

obligatory stampede themed art for the month, enjoy :) trying to use up these gritty paints so i can reuse the palette for something else but it's taking a while...

[sound-cake]

sorry to drop all my feelings on your post but YEAH I AGREE

The only difference between Jax and Ragatha is that Jax says it out loud.

Something I noticed is how quick to anger she actually is. When something doesn't go her way, she complains, only following up the nice behavior to try and mask it. She yells at Jax under the guise of making him behave but her initial reaction is almost never to do the nice thing first. Like w Gangle's mask, Ragatha immediately jumps into being angry mode before she even checks on Gangle at all. ALSO she's so condescending to her when she's teaching her how to throw. Her thought process isn't thing happens > are they okay > let's handle this it's thing happens > negative reaction > check in on person which is so interesting to me.

Anyway I love her so much ahhhh

Sorry i have more thoughts on Ragatha. She's so bby girl.

I think Ragatha is far more like Jax than she would ever admit. In this episode we see them both saying they prefer Gangle when she's sad and I don't think that's coincidental. The version of Ragatha we see when she's drunk is annoyed, brutally honest, and sassy.

AND AND I have to specify this, she quotes Raggedy Andy in this episode! Not Raggedy Anne, she quotes Andy. Anne is the sweet accommodating one. Andy is the tough guy who hates being a play thing and pretends to be brave when he's afraid. If I remember correctly, Gooseworx has actually compared Andy and Jax before.

Ragatha is a people pleaser. She wants people to like her, she wants to give them as many chances as possible, she wants to be a good person. There's nothing wrong with that at all, but in an episode about masks we see her mask fall away. Ragatha underneath it all is hypocritical, judgemental, and sad. And she's perfect and I love her. She has emotions underneath that she is hiding, that doesn't mean the good she tries to do is undone.
