Candy is Bad for You
It’s Christmas time and people are consuming even more candy than usual. I contributed to the problem today by spending way too much money on candies for some of the sugarmongers in my life: chocolate-covered espresso beans, chocolate-covered almonds, chocolate-covered macadamia nuts, chocolate-covered chocolate… chocolate-covered everything!
But let’s be straight: candy is bad for you, and this perhaps becomes more obvious to people when it comes served in a toilet bowl.
It would be nice if I could give these as gifts instead of the chocolates, but this really wouldn’t go over well with most. Eating lots of Christmas-themed candy and chocolates is just a part of the holiday season, and one surefire way to put a damper on any yuletide celebration is to hand somebody a sucker shaped like a plunger.
It’s worth pointing out that these candy-toilets have two holsters on each side, which is an interesting touch. It’s always good to have a spare, I suppose. What will they think of next? Candy cane plungers and chocolate… oh nevermind.
Long Until the Dark Comes to Bruise the Sky
Routine (track 05 from the Hand. Cannot. Erase. LP by Steven Wilson )
What do I do with all the children’s clothes
Such tiny things that still smell of them
And the footprints in the hallway
Onto my knees, scrub them away
And how to be of use
Make the tea and the soup
All of their favorites, throw them away
And all the schoolbooks
And their running shoes
Washing them clean in a dirty steel sink
Routine keeps me in line
Helps me pass the time
Concentrate my mind
Helps me to sleep
And keep making beds
And keep the cat fed
Open the windows, let the air in
And keep the house clean
And keep the routine
Paintings they made still stuck to the fridge
Keep cleaning
Keep ironing
Cooking their meals on the stainless steel hob
Keep washing
Keep scrubbing
Long until the dark comes to bruise the sky
Deep in debt to the night
Routine keeps me in line
Helps me pass the time
Helps me to sleep
The most beautiful morning, forever
Like the ones from far off away
With the hum of the bees in the jasmine sway
Don’t ever let go
Try to let go
