What Do You Hanker For?

Some good old-fashioned music.

 

Like this Candy darlin' ???

 

I like art. Monkeys (which I am naturally inclined to try and spell out m-o-n-k-i-e-s instead of the well-known and common 'monkeys' ...) and angels are also cool.

And sometimes I hanker for ... soda-water.

It's like soda, sweet and flavored - syrupy even... But unlike soda, it has no calories and no sugar. The only problem is it has a bunch of potassium, which is only problematic if you have a kidney issue. Well my mom has a kidney issue, which is how I know that, however I do not...

And so I enjoy my soda water, and if I hanker for something it is usually that; though earlier in life (a couple months ago...) I can remember hankering for a nice restaurant-meal.

 

besides getting the buses running again (without the union having to knuckle under to the management contractor) so i can get to affordable real grocery stores.
my pension to increase faster then my rent so i can get a g.p.u. so i can upgrade blender to its newer itterations, and a new 3d printer so i can start making stuff with one again.

i love buffette style resteraunts, or even the food court and the one mall we have in town,
or any place i can sit down inside and eat a meal that has the diversity of neutrients i need to stay healthy.

there's several other things i need to be able to leave the 'house' to be able to do, including getting my shots,
but until its really safe from this plague, and before the next one comes along,
and you can pretty much bank another one will, and another and another, because population, combustion, environment,
i still only go anywhere to get groceries. no one's telling me i can't where i live, i'm just super cautious by nature, and know even that doesn't guarantee anything,
and still always mask when i go out, because buses and stores and the state still requires it, and i have no argument with its doing so. glad it does.

but i do look forward to the day, when no more people are dying from it then from other things. even if that's only briefly before the next one comes along.

there's a cultural shift i hanker for, and believe entirely possible, but not to count upon as soon as its needed, which is retroactively by about 40 years, if not several hundred.

 

Summer back

 

It's warm, wet and smells and tastes real good: I love hot chocolate.

 

The site to stop glitching!

A back massage to my sore back - the one I had booked for this afternoon got cancelled because the masseuse is not well.

 

Sleep lol

 

strangeness that pleases me aesthetically.

also what the relative cost of books was in the 70s and 80s, even adjusted for inflation, couldn't be more then half of what it is now.

and stories like the kind of real science fiction that was written in the 60s, 70s and 80s (and some was still being written in the 90s and early 2000s, probably some still is,
but i'm talking about the real fiction about science, the way l.o.c.u.s. defined the term,
the kind that just don't really lend themselves to visual media and have seldom been translated into it, though some of them probably would.

many that have been totally missed what was the whole point of the story.

i'd love to see mission of gravity done in totally realistic 3d. no wars, no dynasties, just challanges of nature on alien worlds, as one kind of example,
not played for scarry bullshit either, but for the fun of interesting strangness.
and not missing the points of the virtue of responsibility and logic.)

 

I hanker for Frixday

 

It was for beef stew the other day so I brazed some cubed roast meat, oven roasted an onion, an acorn squash and some garlic then chopped up about 1/2 head of cabbage and tossed it all in a crock pot with a cup of wild rice mix from Sprouts.
Yum.
Tomorrow will be homemade chicken soup

 

Chicken Pot Pie and Salad which is what's on the menu later tonight.

 

i am not pregnant!!!!

 

i made the week's menu yesterday-- Chicken pot pie was suggested--- didn't make the cut! (but soon)

 

Errrmmmm where's the potatoes, carrots, parsnips, swede, celeriac, lentils, leeks, Black pudding, chorizo sausage and home-made suet dumplings matey ???

 

The potatoes, carrots and celery are headed for the chicken soup, I like my lentils on the side and chorizo in other things though dumplings might show up tomorrow.
And if the pudding isn't being hawked by Bill Cosby I'm not too enthralled, but each to their own

 

I hanker for the HIP party later.

 

the ability to teleport would be useful and quite gratifying.
i live in one of those places it is easier to get a train or a bus to, then from.
at the time of most of my earlier life there was a well understood reason for this.
a reason that does not seem to me to in any way still apply, yet the condition persists.

i also hanker for a no building code zone, where anyone could build anything within a reasonable volume and a safe distance apart.
where people have less demand for each other to have the same things in their mind.

there are places i hanker to live, some of which i have at other times, some of which i have visited many time but have yet ever to live.
but all places i hanker to be a little bit different then they are, in more creative ways.
