So, in a couple hours I'm going in for my first tattoo consolation! I'm So Nervous, folks. Like, also excited, and I know nothing is going to happen, but still. I have pictures of both work the artist has done in the past that i like/makes me think of what I want, as well as other images for reference of the things I'm actually looking to get done, but still. Vrrrr.

After that, I'm headed to S's house for the weekend/some of next week for house-sitting. I'll be all alone for the weekend that's going to be great. I'm going to try and get some writing done, but also I have some beta work I need to get through for a friend.

Oh, speaking of writing, I did get through all those stories I mentioned last weekend. I already got a rejection on one, but that's fine. I wasn't entirely sure on it, even though I really did like what I'd come up with. I wasn't sure it hit what they were looking for as well as I'd hoped it would.

I need to do some more zine work soon too. I have all the text worked out, but I want to go through some public domain image sites and get a few to mix into the zine itself. My plan is to go through the text I have, then make a list of things that I can search for and see what I can find/maybe do minor edits on. If I were a better artist, I'd try and draw stuff myself, but I'm a much better writier than I am anything else.

Hello, Dear Readers. While our main focus today will be a lovely opera, here are some short classical pieces for you.

Thoughts on Gounod: Marche funèbre d'une marionnette, and Vaughan Williams: 'March Past of the Kitchen Utensils', and 'The Wasps' Overture )

Now that we've dispenced with that silliness, and in some cases, lack of real musicality, here is something beautiful. Consider it a treat for Valentine's Day, especially to my fellow fans of Tito Schipa.

📝 Оригинальный текст записи
Никогда не считал 14-е число этого месяца чем-то особенным. Праздничным — тем более. Вспомнилась одна история, случившаяся как раз в этот день.
Прежде хочу сказать о том, что ни смотря ни на что, важно оставаться человеком. Вчера в моей машине снова были люди, оставившие ужасный след, по собственной воле мог им добраться до дома. Словно знак, спустя время события повторяются по спирали.
Самой истории очень много лет, это было еще в мирное время:
Ожидая приятеля в центре города — кофе, разговоры, обычный будний вечер. Стоял напротив нескольких кафе, одно из них — «Кальянная №1». Мороз около −5, без снега — нормальная одесская зима.
Дверь кафе открывается. Оттуда выходит парочка. Девушка буквально висит на шее у парня. А вход — на высоте примерно полутора метров: минус первый этаж, длинная лестница вниз. Я замер. Просто смотрел. Почти раздетые — осенние куртки, тонкая одежда — они начали свой спуск. Не прошли и трёх ступенек, как парень уронил девушку. Она не скатилась — просто осталась лежать.
Вокруг центр города, но будто никого нет. Пара прохожих смотрят и идут дальше. Таксист наблюдает из машины. Выбежал официант, что-то сказал им — и исчез обратно за дверью.
Я вышел из машины. Поднял девушку, аккуратно спустил вниз, передал её парню. Он трезвый — с лёгким перегаром, но в сознании. Она — в полуобморочном состоянии. Запах — не цветочный, мягко говоря.
Через минуту она снова упала — уже на асфальт. Парень начал бить её по лицу, что-то говорить. Я снова подошёл, предложил вызвать скорую. Она резко оживилась: «Нет, нет, никакой скорой». И её тут же вывернуло. Почти синхронно — его тоже.
Такси? Один водитель отказался: «Кто салон потом мыть будет?»
Сотрудники кафе продолжали наблюдать из окна.
Подошёл полицейский. Показал удостоверение, сказал мне: «Разбирайся» — и ушёл.
Стояли они легко одетые, замёрзшие, беспомощные. Я понимал, что просто уйти — значит оставить их на льду. В прямом смысле.
Поднял девушку на руки, понёс к машине. Тогда и увидел, в каком она состоянии — под джинсами всё было плохо. Пришлось просить у других водителей тряпки. Кто-то дал.
Кое-как усадил их в машину, выставив её голову в окно — всю дорогу её выворачивало после их «романтического ужина».
Оказалось, им чуть больше двадцати. Подарок на 14 февраля — кальян на абсенте и молоке. Немного алкоголя сверху. И плюс — начало цикла, о котором, похоже, никто не подумал. Организм просто не выдержал.
Я спросил его — думал ли он вообще, как собирается везти её домой в такую погоду? Туда, где нет прямого транспорта.
Довёз до типичного одесского дворика. Там меня встретили родители. И отругали. За то, что «плохо вёз». Вместо спасибо.
Машина — с «реактивной полосой» по борту и внутри Но это уже мелочи.
Парень подошёл и спросил: «Сколько я тебе должен?»
Я сказал, что не таксист. Тогда он достал из кармана горсть мелочи и протянул мне.
Это было даже не про деньги. Это было про меру понимания происходящего.
Я уехал. Меня ждали.
Администратор «Кальянной» позже предложил мне чашку кофе — за то, что я помог «избавиться от проблемы». Но благодарность, от которой веет формальностью, иногда ощущается хуже молчания.
Иногда кажется, что в такие даты особенно остро видно разницу между тем, что принято считать любовью, и тем, что ею не является.
Между вниманием — и бездумностью.
Между жестом — и ответственностью.
Мы часто хотим красивых историй.
Но жизнь почти никогда не снимается крупным планом с фильтрами.
В тот вечер я просто оказался рядом.
Не героем, не судьёй — просто человеком, которому почему-то не всё равно.
Иногда самый важный праздник — это просто остаться человеком
Для меня человечность важнее законом, формальностей, внешнего вида. А Вы знаете о том ,что в международном своде законов , вопреки правилу что человеческая жизнь самое важное и цнное в мире, можно получить криминальную ответственность за спасение людей в средиземном море, которые пытаются попасть в Европу? Я сталкивался с этим неоднократно, и было много случаев, когда спасили людей торговые суда/яхты, а их экипажи сажали в тюрьму власти стран, к берегам которых они причаливали. В частности я знаю это о Греции, и эта ситуация никуда не исчезла. Время не изменило этого, как и события минувших лет.
Мне бы хотелось сейчас одного, понимания, и просто молчаливых объятий, по крайней мере здесь я могу признаться в этом. Без слов, просто понимающих, читая все по глазам.


Note translated in assistance with AI.
I have never considered the 14th of this month to be anything special. Festive — even less so. Yet one story from that date came back to me.

First, I want to say that no matter what happens, it is important to remain human. Just yesterday, there were people in my car again who left an unpleasant trace behind them — and by my own choice, I helped them get home. As if time moves in spirals, repeating the same lessons.

The story itself happened many years ago, back in peaceful times.

I was waiting for a friend in the city center — coffee, conversation, an ordinary weekday evening. I stood across from several cafés, one of them called “Hookah Lounge No.1.” It was about −5°C, no snow — a normal Odessa winter.

The café door opened. A couple came out. The girl was literally hanging on the guy’s neck. The entrance was about one and a half meters above ground level — a basement floor with a long staircase leading down.

I froze and watched. Light autumn jackets, thin clothes — hardly winter-appropriate. They began their descent. After barely three steps, he dropped her. She didn’t tumble down. She just remained lying there.

It was the city center, yet somehow empty. A few passersby glanced and kept walking. A taxi driver observed from his car. A waiter ran out, said something to them — and disappeared back inside.

I stepped out of my car. Picked the girl up, carefully carried her down the stairs, handed her back to the guy. He was sober — a slight smell of alcohol, but conscious. She was barely responsive.

A minute later she fell again — this time onto the pavement. He started slapping her face, saying something. I approached once more and offered to call an ambulance. She suddenly came to life: “No, no, no ambulance.” Then she began vomiting. Almost in sync — he did too.

A taxi? One driver refused: “Who’s going to clean my car after that?”

The café staff continued watching from the windows.

A police officer came by, showed his badge, said to me, “Deal with it,” and left.

They were lightly dressed, freezing, helpless. I understood that walking away would mean leaving them on the ice — literally.

I carried her to my car. Only then did I see how bad her condition was. I had to ask other drivers for rags. Someone helped.

I managed to get them inside, keeping her head out the window — the entire ride she was sick from their “romantic dinner.”

They were barely over twenty. His gift for Valentine’s Day — hookah with absinthe and milk. A bit of alcohol on top. And the beginning of her cycle, which apparently no one had considered. Her body simply couldn’t handle it.

I asked him whether he had thought at all about how he planned to get her home in that weather, to a place without direct transport.

I drove them to a typical Odessa courtyard. Her parents met us there — and scolded me. For “driving poorly.” Instead of saying thank you.

The car was left with its own “jet trail” inside and out. But that was minor.

The guy approached me and asked, “How much do I owe you?”

I said I wasn’t a taxi driver. He pulled a handful of coins from his pocket and offered them to me.

It wasn’t about money. It was about the measure of understanding.

Later, the lounge administrator offered me a cup of coffee for helping them “get rid of the problem.” But gratitude that feels like formality sometimes feels worse than silence.

Sometimes on dates like these, the difference becomes painfully clear — between what is called love and what is not.
Between attention and carelessness.
Between a gesture and responsibility.

We often want beautiful stories.
But life is rarely filmed in close-up with filters.

That evening, I just happened to be there.
Not a hero. Not a judge. Just a person who, for some reason, couldn’t walk away.

Sometimes the most important celebration is simply remaining human.

And the rest…
The city is loud.
But inside, it feels very quiet.

Music and a Beauty Routine

Hello, Dear Readers. Today, we continue our theme of childhood which a lovely suite.

Thoughts on Bizet :Jeux d'Enfants op. 22 )

As you can imagine, being a masculine woman, I don't use personal products with feminine scents, though the definition of that has changed over time. I either use unisex or men's products when appropriate (obviously, I don't need beard oil, for example). So I was very pleasantly surprised when, a few days ago, Mom put a new bottle of three-in-one body wash in the shower. Normally, I use my own bars of soap, but I like to try hers out of curiosity, especially when they're for the body, face, and hair. As soon as I opened this one, I noticed the masculine scent. When I left the shower, the first thing I said was "I love the smell of the new body wash". Mom immediately said "it's for guys", which made me laugh, since I was just about to tell her that it had a masculine scent. I asked her if she bought it by mistake and she said yes. I found that it's actually osmething called Arm and Hammer Coolwater. Ironically, there is one that specifically says Men's and one that doesn't on Amazon, and I have no idea why. Mom's doesn't, so I will post the link to that one. I don't know if hers is the twelve or twenty-two ounce one, though. It feels large to me but not huge.

https://www.amazon.com/Arm-Hammer-Ultra-Shampoo-Conditioner/dp/B07Q78BXDP

The only thing I don't like about it is that, like most body washes, it's very thin and it's a squeeze bottle, not a pump. This is why I generally prefer shower gels. The problem with the washes is that I can't see the liquid coming out, and by the time I feel it on my shower glove, it could be a lot. This is especially true when the bottle is new, and it just takes a tiny squeeze to do this. It's really a shame, since I love the scent. Maybe I'll see if I can put it into a pump bottle. Mom bought six more for me, which I find to be ridiculous (why buy so much of something like that at once), but it was with her money, so I don't really mind. At least I'll be stocked for a long while now.

In other "beauty" news, as I may have said some time ago, I didn't have my hair cut for awhile, due to the horrible weather. It's really annoying me now. I normally have very short hair. I hate long (or in my case, longer than usual) hair. Compounding the issue, mine is very thick on top and I have cowlics. So of course, as it gets longer, it becomes more unruley and sticks up, which I obviously don't want. I will soon have it cut and the problem will go away, but I'm considering a pomatum. This was used during both the Regency and the Edwardian periods, and if I just apply a little, I may be able to keep it down where it belongs. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one for men, ubut I did find this one. I don't want to put all sorts of modern chemicals in my hair. I also love bergamot.

Natural Bergamot Hair Pomade: 18th Century Pomatum

https://www.etsy.com/listing/687201136/natural-bergamot-hair-pomade-18th

Ironically, while I have hyperhydrosis on my hands, underarms, and feet, my face gets very dry, particularly during the winter. I normally use this and love it.

But it can be a bit messy, and it's probably not safe for the oil to be going down the drain, given how old our plumbing is. So I decided on this. It's supposed to combine their two best creams. Again, this says for women, but even Captain Jesse mentioned that Brummell used cold cream (though he was probably being kind and said that instead of murcury), and I know he enjoyed Macouba snuff, which is rose-scented, so I'm in good company. I also like this shop in general.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1798557142/hudsons-cold-cream-lightweight

As a sidenote, I highly recommend both 2ndchancesanctuary and LitttleBits. Both are excellent shops with natural products and are good to animals. For those new to my journal, I am not vegan or vegitarian. I say that because many of their products are labelled as such.

Hello, Dear Readers. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to provide you with the next installment in our musical adventure, but this is when I responded to DB.

Thoughts on Arthur Sullivan: The Zoo )

The birth control saga finally came to an end yesterday. Yes, it really took that long. They said the insurance would only pay for it then, though to be honest, I could have done so out of my own pocket if it were truly necessary. But it wasn't, since my last pill was for Saturday. However, I felt bad, because last weekend was one of the worst we've had weatherwise since 2015, at least, according to the weatherman. That's actually why I came up to the middle floor. The windchill made it feel like twenty below zero at one point! When I checked Alexa to see what the temperature in my downstairs room was, she said forty-eight degrees! With my space heaters on, in the winter, it's usually fifty-five, which is still cold. However, now that normal temperatures are returning, I went back downstairs. I simply couldn't handle waking as early as my parents (six o'clock or seven, at the latest). It's not that they forced me to do so, but I am a light sleeper, so naturally, I heard them moving around, etc. Joanie would normally make breakfast at eight or so, and I did enjoy that, but again, it was too early. Now, I can put my heater on and wake at a more dandyish hour, like ten or eleven. That said, Brummell did have his levees at eight or so, at least while in England, so it depends on the dandy (or dandy lover) in question.

Speaking of birth control, I actually found a vitamin specifically for women on it! This company also sounds quite trustworthy, and from my own research, I discovered that these are, indeed, the nutrients, vitamins, etc. that I may be lacking while taking the pill. But I highly doubt that iron is among them, since I do eat a lot of meat. I actually thought that iron was something I wasn't supposed to take while on the pill, but it seems I was wrong. In any case, I am not one for salads, greens, etc. though I do love fruit, and since I'm obviously not in the sun this time of year, I could definitely use some Vitamin D3. I ordered them last week, and they arrived today, but I will start them tomorrow.

Hello, Dear Readers. I promised you some Sullivan without Gilbert, but it took me a little while to get to it. Still, it was well worth the wait. There is also a funny anecdote from DB in this one.
