#i can't get no satisfaction

[howifeltabouthim]

That's what desire is, isn't it? The lack of something.

Siri Hustvedt, from The Blindfold

What if Satisfaction by Devo was a Spyro song?

When I’m driving in my car, And a man comes on the radio; He’s tellin’ me more and more About some useless information, Supposed to fire my imagination.

The Rolling Stones "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" hits #1 in America. It stays for four weeks, becoming the biggest hit of 1965.

Satisfaction - The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain - from 1988?

A million years after I’ve stopped hearing about Waifu Labs, got inspired to draw something based on a fucked-up result I got. There’s still flaws in the piece, but frankly I’m tired of working on it. Putting under a read more/keep reading for body horror, because it looks like I made the next “Made in Abyss.”

Is that bone? A fungus? Some third thing? You decide.

On this day in 1965...Keith Richards composes the opening riff for Satisfaction in his sleep. #history #keithrichards #rollingstones #therollingstones #satisfaction #icantgetnosatisfaction

louis, lestat, and their single bed as a motif louis puts into his own story, but refuses to explore, is literally one of the sexiest parts of the show. it speaks volumes about a level of fulfillment and freedom that louis feels by being with lestat that he rarely explicitly comments on when he's relaying his story to daniel, which feels extremely relevant to his overall reluctance to examine the parts of his relationship with lestat that he really enjoyed.

because louis is a character who's hyper aware of how he presents himself. he's lived his entire life projecting a certain masculine, heteronormative image, and he's aware of how deviating from that presentation has implications that impact how people view him - from enjoying the opera, to the presentation of his nails. the fact that he moves in with lestat and neither of them ever put a second bed into any room in the house as a level of plausible deniability is so huge and oversight by so cautious a character, it can only be read as deliberate - especially when the conspicuous lack of a second bed is pointed out to them by both antoinette and a literal police officer. in an existence where you don't sleep in a bed, the bed becomes a symbolic object more so than a practical one. it's louis choosing to deliberately transgress against the societal expectations he lives out when he leaves his house, a bit of presentation that actually amplifies his truth as a gay man living with his partner, rather than masking or hiding himself, like he does for the outside world.

Of course, nothing ever does the trick. Nobody's really satisfied for long.

She wished the Rush would rise and wash the whole city away, Flea Bottom and the Red Keep and the Great Sept and everything, and everyone too, especially Prince Joffrey and his mother. But she knew it wouldn't, and anyhow Sansa was still in the city and would wash away too. When she remembered that, Arya decided to wish for Winterfell instead. (ACOK I, Arya)

Isn't it funny that in the very first book Arya thinks about something bad happening to the people she hates, realizes that someone she cares about could get hurt in the process, and instead decides to focus on wishing for home? I just think that's a neat character moment for her 😁

At a hotel in Clearwater, Florida, Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones can't sleep because there's a guitar riff running through his head. He rolls a tape, falls asleep and wakes up the next morning to find he's recorded the riff to "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."

5 April 2024 - Friday Field Notes

I spend an inordinate amount of time putting unfinished puzzles together.

Mud mess from last week when we were installing some rabbit fencing. I really should oil my boots.

No clue who this flower is but she's very pretty.

Anyone do those "bean in a bag" experiments as a kid? You put a bean seed in a plastic bag with a wet paper towel, leave it in a sunny spot, and watch it sprout in about a week. Yeah, the native plant version is doing the same thing except you have to stick it in the fridge, wait 1-2 months, plant it, and hope it germinates. Maybe. Cold moist stratification. Not for the impatient.

Been getting a lot of practice learning scientific and common names though.

Tipi streamer I decorated. We haven't put them on the past few years because... I'm not sure why. But they're fun, supposed to help wick precipitation off the poles, and maybe it'll keep the birds from shitting all over the covers. Some tiny Pronghorn, Bison (we don't have bison, I wish we did), a Meadowlark, and a Rocky Mountain Bee Plant.

I somehow wound up being unofficially in charge of putting up the tipis lol. Third time around and I finally got around to reading the instruction manual this time. Ignore the extra long pole, it's just special. Adds character.

Planting party. We'll see what grows.

I am excited the rabbitbrush at my house sprouted.
