“Toss me a cigarette, I think there’s one in my raincoat”
“We smoked the last one an hour ago”
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
“Kathy, I’m lost,” I said, though I knew she was sleeping “I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why” Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike They’ve all come to look for America

“Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand”

“Starry, starry night Portraits hung in empty halls Frameless heads on nameless walls With eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they're not listening still Perhaps they never will”

Song reminds me of being stuck in a desolate bumblefuck town longing to go back home - kinda like where I went to college. While I sit and look at the dull old signs and the tumbleweeds in abundance, and also coming to terms with my unrelenting, fidgeting boredom, I start to appreciate the charm and beauty of my surroundings and a whole new world opens up to me that I didn’t see before. God Bless ya, Cindy Lee. And God Bless America 🇺🇸

Free full seasons of the British comedy/game show I force everyone to watch if they’re in my home!
It’s clever! It’s silly! It forces you to think things like “how would I catch a single pea in my mouth from a catapult?” It’s introduced me to so many great comedians (e.g. Sophie Duker, Sam Campbell, Fatiha El-Ghorri)
Plus there’s something so funny to me about the creator of the show (Alex Horne) getting absolutely dunked on by the host (Greg Davies) in every episode. I just love it. I recommend Season 16 to start—the cast is so chaotic.
