Van Helsing: If ever Abraham Van Helsing can do anything for you or yours, I trust you will let me know

Mina: Fix my blorbo.

Van Helsing: What?

Mina, dragging Jonathan out from under the bed - blubbering and mumbling about lizard fashion: My blorbo's got the morbs. Help pls.

Me: I need to lock in, this assignment is due so soon

Also me: actively ignoring my homework to research and buy instrumental Ethiopian CDs from the 70s

impatience

1.

The third time he saw him, Harry sat down right in the empty, too-small seat to his left. Two previous attempts at avoidance hadn't successfully kept him away, so he figured, why not.

He yawned. It was late enough to be nearly early. "All that magic and it's just the same as waiting around at an airfield."

Draco barely looked up, mouth a firm, perfectly level line. Just before moving a whole row of chairs away, he said, "We're indoors, you knob."

-

He didn't really loosen up about the chat. Harry ran into him at a crunchy four in the morning, before the rusted hose nozzle that snapped him to Yellowknife, and then during the delay to the town in New Caledonia he couldn't remember the name of, and again before Fitz Roy. Every time Draco calmly assembled his little fleet of newspapers, self-important briefcase (he obviously could have shrunk it if he wanted to), and moved to the opposite side of the room as soon as Harry sat down.

And it wasn't fair. They'd made up - sort of.

At least there'd been enough smoothing over that a crowded pub night with Draco also in attendance didn't become a whole thing. Harry shook his stupid, freezing cold hand when he gave him back his wand, for Merlin's sake.

The group pubs outings themselves may have been a rarer thing recently, with Harry's job (and apparently Draco's) plucking him out of Britain often, but that didn't make it okay for Draco to have backslid into rude git territory so completely.

He told him so, and Draco said, "What's there to bother about with you?"

Which, no.

-

The backsliding may have inspired more backsliding. Harry didn't think of it as taunting exactly, though there were a few particularly uncomplimentary things that slipped out - it was unavoidable. Draco had a slimy job working for some sort of big finance company, something posh and soulless and perfect for him. He was always in a very expensive looking suit, the sort of fabric that looked wet.

Once, Harry made some comment about his tie, touched it in the sallow overhead light, just passing time before he's be handed over the little plastic koala figurine that was supposed to take him to the volcano in Mongolia. He reached out as he did, going for a light gestural grasp around the pale silk but Draco grabbed Harry's wrist before he could, yanked it away from himself, twisting a little.

"Don't touch me unless you want what comes after."

Which, yes.

-

A little too easily, Draco managed Harry's jacket off, dropping it on the floor before sinking down on top of it. It'd been about seven minutes, patience a smudge abandoned on the tile under the jacket under Draco. Kneeling. They'd both roughed each other up nicely by then with hands and grazed teeth, beard-burn, and Draco looked so pinked and wild-eyed with that neat slide of his laden tongue - it was all pulling something frantic and a little feral out of some low, poorly-lit place in Harry.

He couldn't get a grip on the sleek stall wall, barely kept himself up right and ended up missing the Port to Harere or outside of Helsinki or wherever it was supposed to have been. All the minutes spent idle and outside of himself, waiting to go somewhere were overly ripe, it turned out. Fresh, wet fruit just inside the peeled back skin.

Draco's neatly done up knot stayed in tact the whole time. He knocked Harry's hand away when he tried to touch it - the tie, and then every other part of him.

Oh awesome!!!

My personal favourite jazz albums to recommend (in no particular order) are

Mint Jams (1982) - Casiopea

Time Out (1959) - The Dave Brubeck Quartet

Journey in Satchidananda (1970) - Alice Coltrane

Windflower (1977) - Herb Ellis and Remo Palmier

Wede Harer Guzo (1978) - Hailu Mergia & Dahlak Band (I'm actually not sure if this one is jazz?? I've heard from some that it's jazz and from others that it's funk or soul. Either way it's really good so I'm including just in case. more folks should listen to it either way imo)

I also recommend these two mixes; 1970s Japanese jazz and Ethiopian jazz - this account has a lot of very good jazz mixes (as well as other genres) so if you enjoy one or both of these you can have a dig around in their archive and find some more really great music 😊

hi hello you like jazz could you recommend me some jazz songs/singers? I joke that I'm cursed by having a good voice for it but zero knowledge of the genre

OKAY SO i do love jazz but i massively prefer non vocal jazz I pretty much exclusively listen to just instrumental jazz im sorryyyyy I do wish I could be more help here

if you're open to listening to just instrumental jazz im more than happy to rec you my favourite albums but if it's songs you're after i am not the person to ask unfortunately otl

2025 has been a very, very hard year so far for me, and is looking like it's going to continue to get even harder. given this momentary pocket of joy i've found myself in, here are some things --some large, but mostly small-- i've been into lately that are making life worth living:

now that tax season is over, i have gone back to largely working from home on wednesdays. i didn't this week, but if the workload for the day allows, i've been having some of my other remote working friends over to do like a kitchen coffee shop co-work in the afternoon. one of my friends will bring his espresso machine, i'll usually bake something, and we'll trade off "barista" duties as we all work around my kitchen table. it's usually been about 4ish-5 people, and i've found that it's not only like ~good for the soul~, but that it often makes me more productive to have the body double, and we are all more in touch with each other than we were before. last weds i baked a carrot cake, [redacted] made a lavender syrup, loverman stopped and noodled on his guitar for a bit before heading to a rehearsal, and roommate bought stroopwafels from a bakery near her bf's apartment. a goal for the summer is to try and make it as regular as i can.

pulled my silk scarves out of storage and have been wearing them in my button-up collars tied in a classic four-in-hand knot like a necktie, esp when i'm wearing a trouser or suit set. something abt the hyperfeminine print and fluttery silk against a menswear silhouette where a tie should be tickles me, feels both throwback and a bit playful at the same time, which is nice considering how corp dress codes are so stifling sometimes.

the project to listen to whole albums or human-curated playlists as much as possible instead of spotify's ai genre slop continues. recent highlights include: tennis' new (and final) album, face down in the garden, which sounds like spring and nostalgia to me. archival record label numero group's extensive list of curated spotify playlists, full of curios and underheard gems, but especially eccentric boogie, if it's sunday morning, and L80's: ladies + 80s . and then ethiopian jazz! naturally have started at the many volumes of ethiopiques series (vol 14 of getatchew mekurya's sax has my heart) and then have tried to branch out and explore from there. currently have had hailu mergia & dahlak band's wede harer guzo on repeat.

daily nyt crossword. loverman's christmas gift, and still even months later an integral part of my day. i think of him every time i open the app.

my office has a kettle in the breakroom, and instead of buying afternoon coffee out, i've made a little travel matcha kit and have been bringing it to work in a stasher bag. something about breaking to do the physical ritual of water-whisk-water-whisk is nice. with the weather turning, i can now take the time i would rush over to la colombe for coffee and just walk a little around the block to get some sun and decompress.

the naked & famous cocktail, which is so good that even i, famously a mezcal hater, can't stop drinking them.

just finished david lynch's catching the big fish: meditation, consciousness, and creativity, which is kind of a slight, warm, nothing of a book (affectionate), but when listened to by audiobook, becomes like getting a really long voicemail from your favorite uncle as he talks you through his artistic process. no main narrative, just a collection of asides and digressions delivered gently by a person who was clearly in love with the art life, and seemed genuinely thoughtful and kind.

finally: the films of christopher guest in chronological order. began as an offshoot of the parker posey filmography completionist escapism project (almost done, btw), but which has taken on a life of its own that is-- thankfully-- mellower and less despair-driven. as a person w misanthropic tendencies, i need to be reminded occasionally that sometimes things are popular and widely beloved because they are just that good, and his comedies are a perfect example.

ethiopian music recs, please!!!

Oddly enough, I have a few Ethiopian music recs!! (Although I am nowhere near an expert on the genre)

The CD I just bought was Wede Harer Guzo by Hailu Mergia, and even though I haven’t heard much more of his music, I think going through his discography is a good starting point! (I plan to do the same soon haha)

Here’s my favorite song by him:

Moving on, I would recommend Tsehaye Yohannes!! (I have not fully listened to his discography, but everything I’ve heard on Sakilgne so far is so good!) Apparently Blen by him is the first song I played when I got my wisdom teeth removed, which makes sense because it makes me so happy.

Here’s my favorite song by him:

The last of the recommendations I have right now is Emahoy Tsega Mariam Gebru!! Her compilation album Ethiopiques, vol. 21: Emahoy (Piano Solo) is stellar, but I’m starting to get into her Souvenirs album which has some vocalization on it as opposed to being instrumental!

Here’s my favorite song by her:

If anyone else has any more recs, I’d love to hear them!! I love Ethiopian music and am always looking for more artists to listen to :)
