Got walloped by a cold yesterday. Feel a bit better this morning but not sure if it's the supplements I tried or just an ok night's sleep and I might fade later.

Found this song:


I wish I could say it would all be all right
I wish I could tell you it would all be fine
But a stone only rolls downhill
And these things
They'll be what they will
What they will

Definitely a song for our times - and so kind of fittingly, not as good as some of their previous works.

(I mean the video for "The One Moment" is just an all timer, the most amazing slow motion thing I've seen, syncronizing bullet time with real time music. Also one of the weird side effects of colds for me is I become incredibly emotionally fraught - like prone to weep for barely any reason. I guess it's like an enormously strange physiological interoception feedback loop - part of the mind notices the body feels like its already been crying, and then thinks of something to cry about. So anyway, I saw The One Moment and listened to the lyrics - about the transience of everything, and a romantic call to be with the singer here in that moment, and it gave me a crying jag for a minute or two. Like, colds are weird, man.)

In theory I could get a flashlight that I could see on a low cloud. In practice, I really shouldn't.
