Burner phones and erotic art go

Burner phones and erotic art go under the hammer in Banksy sale

Erection of phallic sculpture in Naples turns heads

Some random silly stuff from my diaries and journals

It'll be a huge thread!

I have started practising a lot. I hate practising.

Okay...just watched "Kiki's Delivery Service" for the first time since I was a child (yay Studio Ghibli Fest), and all I can say is it must have made a much stronger impression on young me than I thought.

10/26/2002, Saturday. Went to peace rally in Federal Plaza at noon. Took lots of pics. Could be historical.

Recent discovery: Celia Fiennes, who between 1684-1703 rode side-saddle through every county in England.

Quit my real estate training: I hate the occupational licensing process to begin with, I can't even bring myself to study the material on my own, the other students are dumb, and the teacher literally mocks and insults me. I don't need that in my life.

When I look at myself in the mirror or in my selfies, I don't even look like someone who'd have a normal job I look more like an expensive escort.

The two things I did in 2024 that feel worthwhile looking back on it were seeing Dune in the theater eight times and seeing that Dutch escort twice. Nothing else compares, really. All the rest feels so...superfluous.

Watched "Dune: Part Two" for the first time since the last showing of it I caught in theaters. Even on a small screen at home it feels so nostalgic already, like what I imagine reconnecting with a close friend must be like.

Today we visited both of my parents and my father-in-law. Having spent most of our lives, to some degree, being looked after by our parents, we are now at the stage where we are the ones who worry about them.

The mind is so powerful that it can make you a prisoner in your own home, cutting yourself off from family and friends. There are people I know of (friends of family/friends) who are currently going through this, and there are no easy solutions...

Support Independent Type, 2020

An entire book of type specimens.

2025

For the past few years I've had a BTS diary/ planner. Firstly we had a Dynamite calendar, then a Butter, then Proof diary. I'd expected 2025 to be fluffy sweaters, but it's a choice between two sets of very old photos: Dark & Wild or Love Yourself Answer.

I feel maybe it's a year for an Oxfam charity diary.

I have just bought a stack of red bubble BTS stuff for Christmas though. Like that doesn't count as Christmas shopping.

Friends! Why not dabble in a podcast on detailing my unusual life

Something to tickle the funny bone for a

Give it a try! & prod on the old button while you're at it!

Just finished by . Inspiring stuff but also heartbreaking. Made me angry! (even made me laugh at one point when an entry in his summed up the madness of by reporting in one sentence the happy news he had recieved some peppermint creams, then in the next sentence reporting the death of a comrade)

I have decided that keeping a will help me to declutter my mind. The fact that I've started this on an ordinary Wednesday in October rather than the 1st of January will be good for me I've always been obsessed with things fitting into neat little boxes, with ideal start and end dates, and with the goal of completing perfect collections. This is, of course, unhealthy behaviour that often results in fixating on the collection rather than enjoying the individual events or components.

Went to the mall, got some nice white shirts from Banana Republic, and I've got a whole bunch of supplies being delivered. Objective: DIY new wardrobe of striking metallics, the colors I'll be wearing from now on (if they suit me as much as the AI renditions make it appear...).

Stockholm, October 14, 2024, 19:44. Dear diary, I'm tired and freezing on the hill, at night. Where is my damn comet

Still on the ramp-up phase of my steroid cycle. As of today I'm up to 40 mg of dianabol, and experiencing no adverse side effects at all: I'm just toner, trimmer, and, yes, hornier. A better person, TBH I think I might regret having to cycle off of it, but it is a necessity.

Farmworkers come from all over to demand their rights, oftentimes losing sleep and sacrificing their limited time off of work.

face : , horrifically , conditions. But they are , and you can with them!

Started on my first-ever anabolic steroid cycle, and for once I'm actually impressed: just 20 mg of dianabol over the past few days makes me subtly but noticeably toner and trimmer, and I feel really good too. Basically no side effects either, so far.

Mise jour de mon projet 365, avec le mois de juillet complet.
a avance, a avance doucement, mais a avance, je pourrai bientt reprendre les publications quotidiennes.

Une anne, 365 jours, 365 photos, un appareil photo. Mais a commence en 2024, anne bissextile. Donc une anne, 366 jours, 366 photos, un appareil photo. ...

Pleased to announce I'm now a platinum blonde and not just any platinum blonde, a full Jean Harlow platinum blonde! My colorist didn't hold back, and neither did my stylist: I look so totally Hollywood now I can't take it in.

10/6/2004: Photographer Richard Avedon died. He was one of the first to admit that still photography is a sin of omission. Its a cropping of time and context. Something always gets excluded and sometimes its the part thats true.

10/6/2024: These diary revisitations are an interesting way to see how art has evolved. The collage he made of Audrey Hepburn in 1967 is not unlike something that would be generated by AI. AI is essentially a collage technique without scissors and glue.
