Breakup

OK, OK, I'm going to go home and break up with her. But what do I tell her? "I deserve better." Jesus, no, definitely not that. Even if that's true, only women say that. "You deserve more." Now, that's pretty good. But she's gonna start to get all unintelligent and tell me I'm good just the way I am. That's the way it is. Haha. "I want to live." That'll take the edge off. I might as well say I want to fuck half of Europe. Let's see. "I think we should be apart now so we can be together later." That's not bad, but I don't want to be together later. I'd spare you the hysterics, but I'd be constantly harassed about when that later was. "I'm in love with someone." That seems pretty definitive, but she'd want to know who the bitch was, and it would start a never-ending interrogation about where I met her, when we met, was the sex good, do I regret it, did I think about her, why I didn't tell her, blah blah blah blah... "I cheated on you." Same thing. Oh God, the easiest thing would be to just disappear without a word, never pick up the phone, never answer her texts again. Okay, it's a little bit of a chick thing. "I don't want kids yet." And then she says, "Neither did she. "I want a baby now." She'll end up saying she does too. "I need to focus on my career now." I'm sure her mothering side would come out and assure me that she'll be supportive, patient, that I can build my career, that she's there for me and won't abandon me in the hardest times. Too bad. Wait a minute! I should make her want to break up. Then how much unnecessary crying and screaming would be saved. I'd pretend a little bit, "Oh, no." and then that's it, hat, coat, goodbye. But it would be too long a process to wait. "Something's wrong, this isn't working." I can hear her saying, "But what, tell me what's wrong, I'll change, just tell me what I can do differently! I know you love me, it's just a moment of desperation, believe me, we can work it out!" No, we can't, I don't want to. Okay, I've got a big mouth now, but I actually loved her and I still love her. Just not the way it should be. Like she did me. But I don't want to hurt her. She's a sweet girl. If I said, "I'm sorry, but I don't love you the way I should and the way you deserve. I'm sorry.", you know what? She'd start to tear herself up, eat her insides out, cry for weeks and look for reasons why she'd gone wrong. I don't want to hurt you. That feeling either comes or it doesn't. Or it comes and then it goes. I'm gone, what do I do?

If you break up with a woman, why does she always, at all costs, try to convince you that you're stupid and don't feel what you feel? I can just decide if I want to be with someone or not. Women, I swear, think that we men are so mentally retarded that we don't recognize when we really love someone. God, how many times have I listened to break ups and say "I know you love me. Deep down, you love me so much, you just don't realize it. You're really going to regret this." It's simply impossible to break up cleanly, without scandal. What do you have to say to that? Fuck, is it that late? Look, she's calling again, asking where I am, what I'm doing, when I'll be home. I'm gonna have to talk to her and break up with her. I'm gonna go. I'll call you later.

- Hey, girl, I'm home. What's all this stuff, you going on a trip?

- No. I'm moving.

- You're moving? Where are you going? Why are you going away?

- Out. You know why. I can't do this. Listen, I think we should cut this short. I don't know about you, but I haven't been happy in this relationship for a long time, and I don't think you have either. I think the best thing we can do is just quietly accept that this is the way it is and break up. We have no reason to be angry with each other, so we can separate from each other peacefully. I've got some stuff left here, and I'll pick it up sometime.

- But hey, wait a minute. Just like that? Are you seeing anyone? What's the matter? You want to talk about it or work it out? You're just gonna throw everything away? I don't get it. Is it me? But I love you. Let's talk about it. Let’s fix it!

- Forgive me, but I don't love you the way I should and the way you deserve. I'm sorry..

Then she walked out of the apartment. And I've never felt more in love with any woman in my life than I did with her, staring at the closed door.

…this has to be the weirdest genshin related rabbit hole i’ve climbed down

And no, it’s not nsfw.

A while back, I made a post about the Commedia Dell’arte, which inspired the genshin’s fatui. Well, I just went down an even more niche and nerdy rabbit hole today, russian music.

I found a piece of semi-classical russian music called Shostakovich’s second waltz. If you listen to it, it VERY OBVIOUSLY is what inspired the music for fontaine. But here’s the thing: Shostakovich didn’t even make it. His friend Atovmyan did. But Atovmyan’s legacy is so eclipsed by Shostakovich, that Shostakovich got the credit. I can’t even find anything about the life of Atovmyan.

But HERE’S where things get crazy. Shostakovich was a movie composer that liked to work with Atovmyan. So, this waltz was written for a movie called “The First Echelon.” And The First Echelon was directed by a guy named MIKHAIL.

Coincidence? Probably, Mikhail a common russian name. But MAN is it weird.

Also, funny side note: This piece of music is so freaking confusing to find. It was not only a miscredited work, it is also mislabeled a lot as “Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 2.” It’s actually the “Suite for Variety Orchestra No. 1.”

༻`` 12 Feb 24 — Monday

100 days of productivity 43/100

Woke up late enough but I didn't let that put my mood down (especially that a longer sleep was probably needed) and got a lot done today! All the housework for tomorrow is finished, my dogs and I enjoyed a walk, I didn't make any physics notes but I thought about them if that counts 😅. I rewatched another episode of The Falcon And The Winter Soldier today with lunch and started making a notebook from spare pages I had! Never done it before and I am encountering issues as expected, but it's going well so far! (we don't talk about that 1 needle I kind of bent...). And also I worked on The Sci Journal website a bit! The 'about me' for everyone who submitted one so far is alsmot finished and I'm making progress with organising the subjects and tags.

Have a good day/night <3

🎧 - Soviet Russia (accordion)

[slavic-roots-western-mind]

Call me biased but 1970s-2000s was the peak of russian music. Not that there aren't any good songs now, but there's just something about music from time period that really gets me.

[sovietpostcards]

I was wondering who your favorite Russian-language artists are? I’ve been listening to a lot of pop and rap, everyone like Lesha Svik, Klava Koka, and Morgenshtern. I also like Dima Bilan and Sergey Lazarev. But I need to branch out and listen to stuff that’s not so pop-y I think. I don’t know.

Im trying to immerse myself in as much of the Russian language as possible.

Favourite artists would probably be Kino and Yuri Antonov LOL. Here, let me recommend some songs to you that I like, in no particular order.

Most of these are oldies. I occasionally belt up and venture into daily charts trying to find something of interest, and sometimes it provides interesting specimen. (But mostly I just can't take it and leave.)

Anyway, here you go!

Земфира* — Интересно

Би-2* — Шамбала

Аквариум* — Поезд в огне

Louna^ — Моя оборона

Сплин^ — Орбит без сахара
