me: I should practice

brain: but you don't really need to

me: no, I really should

brain: but it's cold

me: I'll wear a jacket

brain: aren't you a little tired?

me: not really . . .

brain: okay but your dog needs your attention

me: I don't have a dog

brain: then we should get a dog

me: I'm going to start getting my instrument out of its case

brain: BUT IT'S TOO FAR AWAY

me: I'm walking over to it right now

brain: OKAY BUT WAIT

brain: THE CURTAINS ARE BLUE

sheet music is just instructions on how to make noise

[droogscorner]

Organised noise. Slightly different from jazz noise.

Time to drop some acid I think.

This is actually a legitimate product, to which you can buy for a low, low price of £215 (and £10 shipping) . At such a bargain, you’ll be able to convey your perversion for small colourful equines visually.

I’m all for fashion, but seriously. The fuck?!

BAD THINGS ARE GOING ON IN POLAND AGAIN, HELP

Please, help me spread this. Tomorrow in Warsaw, Poland there will be a demonstration against NEW ABORTION LAW. Abortion is going to be criminalized. If the new law comes into force, abortion won’t be proceeded even if MOTHER’S LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. Women can go to jail if they MISCARRIAGE and the doctor will assume it was woman’s fault. We thought we lived in a civilized country. We thought we were safe. Spread awareness. Show that you know about it, show that you care about Polish rape victims and Polish underaged girls. Let people know what is going on in Poland. In the heart of Europe. Help us. Help me. I am desperate. 

[eveningspirit]

THIS IS LEGIT. I live in Poland and this is what our (extreme right) parliament will vote. This will be law. I don’t even hope otherwise anymore.

Earlier this year our parliament delegalized Constitutional Tribunal – the only body that could hold the govenment and the parliament responsible for their actions. European Comitee declared the delegalization of CT an unlawful act, but this is only their opinion, it has no binding force. Our government ignored the opinion of European Comitee.

Now our parliament will only “answer before God”. Middle Europe. XXIst century.

Once again, religion is taking the piss. No problems with is personally, but ones faith shouldn't be used to dictate how a country should be run.

Cancer: "why is the conductor talking about amphibians?"--a flutist in reference to the conductor asking the strings to play at the frog

Leo: "all right, now let's play it in tune"--the conductor

Virgo: *the basses quietly munching on chips, thinking that no one sees them*

Libra: "yeah I'm not playing that I'll just fake it"--a cellist

Scorpio: "my dog ate my sheet music and my talent"--an oboist

Sagittarius: "bro are you team A double sharp or C flat?"--a violinist

Got round to digitising one of my doodles. I can probably change the background colour to something else if someone prefers.
