      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve got the tasteof raspberries in my facial cavities still like a phantom scent or taste, like what happened last year with the smoked ham.</p>

<p>Sometimes I can sense one smell vividly and that’s what happened to the pie</p>

<p>The taste was intense and I have never tasted anything like it, it’s like the best taste I can remember ever having tasted, red</p>

<p>So I think what is happening is in the general absence of smell, to get one isolated like that is like lightning a candle in the blackened darkness.</p>

<p>the taste of course of red.</p>

It brings me back in time to when I was in Barrens and we were having tacos and I was a raptor riding troll shaman and life was simple.&#xA;&#xA;Today we went with some raspberry pie to the neighbours and we sat on the veranda under the sun and the clouds looked like an AI rendering or something, there wasn’t much to say about them except that they looked like they were zoomed out and too many of them &#xA;&#xA;Hey maybe we’re in a simulation after all&#xA;&#xA;And what if the clouds was just a glitch in the matrix.]]&gt;</description>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello hello</p>

<p>Please to meet you!</p>

<p>I yesterday I smelt the ground coffee! It is one of the best ones, don’t you agree?</p>

<p>Might bake some rhubarb pie if it’s still in me this smell</p>

<p>With vanilla sauce</p>

<p>And hey, did you see that after this rain, there was a warm sun.</p>

<p>The Apple trees looked as if they really were having a great summer, I picture these roots they’ve got like giant straw hands grabbing for the sustenance down below and sucking it up towards the sky! Relishing both the sun and the rain</p>

<p>I cooked yesterday, just lit the grill up and took whatever I found in the freezer</p>

<p>Some vegetarian food pre processed taste really like bark</p>

<p>I’m trying to be positive, it’s my mortar after all</p>

<p>Great great time for some more work</p>

<p>Hey do you use vim a lot for your daily work?</p>

<p>I see people do</p>

<p><code>:wq</code></p>

<p>To quit of course</p>

<p>Or even</p>

<p><code>:x</code></p>

<p>But I just go <code>shift+ZZ</code></p>

      <title>A remarkable diary ”scrawl” on… time!!!! </title>
      <link>https://blegh.hopeisaprison.eu/a-remarkable-diary-scrawl-on-time?pk_campaign=rss-feed</link>
      <description>&lt;![CDATA[I’m in a car with two dogs strapped to myself in the special dog buckle safety seat thing even though we are at the parking lot in this cool evening, when it’s not clear whether the sun or the moon is shining behind the gray clouds.&#xA;&#xA;Indeed.&#xA;&#xA;The low sound of traffic is the only thing to be heard when the black dog is barking at things he sees.&#xA;&#xA;I went to a pizzeria I’ve not been to for seven years today. It was the same man behind the counter; a fit looking handsome fellow whose thin waistline I think is remarkable for someone in his line of work. He looked exactly the same except now he wore glasses.&#xA;&#xA;Then at the park we met a friend from before, from when we lived here. She looked exactly the same except this time the toddler she was with was a new one, the fifth and not the fourth.&#xA;&#xA;I think if we would’ve lived here still, we would’ve been close friends, but it’s all chance, it’s so random, you know? Who I would’ve been then, because&#xA;&#xA;I feel it clearly that us moving and beginning this new life clearly marks one of these branches which changes the life sufficiently.&#xA;&#xA;I’m still myself inside, but I am not so fit, i don’t even train four to five times a week anymore, I have skills now, can build and fix things&#xA;&#xA;And I’ve not even got the same interests&#xA;&#xA;And I’ve been opening up some of these parts of myself I’m not proud of, and have taken a good look. That’s one of the reasons I think I’ve grown a bit more fat and melancholic. even so, I’m better off.&#xA;&#xA;And there are still too much stuff in mother In law’s apartment, only this time I found it very charming. Almost.&#xA;&#xA;Finally, finally, on seeing me, these people probably think, and would say, that I look the same&#xA;&#xA;But I’ve got glasses now.]]&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;![CDATA[Today I have been consistently sweat drenched and I have felt warm and a little bit disgusting in a way like definitely unattractive with messed up hair and these paint speckled crocs, and the point is that I didn’t give a single fuck as I was walking among all of these people with hair looking the way rich people do their hairs and white clothes of silken quality without a single spot I did feel out of place like a bumpkin, but somehow the only emotion in me was something like a mild amusement&#xA;&#xA;Such is the freedom which comes with age, maybe.]]&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;![CDATA[Today as I was walking along the waterfront, by the heavily trafficked intersecting street where there is a tram crossing, two men in their thirties dressed in chinos were riding a rental e-bike; the one who wasn’t steering clutched a giant chocolate bar — which he no doubt won at the tivoli — in his armpit as they just crossed the street, ignoring the red lights and the obvious danger as they made it safely against all odds to the other side.&#xA;&#xA;Something about these smartly dressed gentlemen was inspiring in a way,&#xA;&#xA;Of course they weren’t wearing helmets]]&gt;</description>
