I was house-sitting for Hozier, and I hung out in his reading nook (which you had to climb to get to) and we shared some tea after he got back from the woods. He let me pet his dog, and reassured me about my parents separation.

House sitting four cats.
Three of them have to share the guest room bed while the oldest (and smallest) gets the king sized bed to herself.

An empty house,
a dog that's not mine accessorizing $100.
All I get of Christmas
is a mug of wine
a hot tub, a king sized mattress,
framed photos of a beautiful family I barely know,
and another cup because I'm tipsy.
The first real tree of my life under strange ornaments,
open books- eight of them- not a thing retained
and another because I'm drunk.
Cover your ears,
I'm a motherfucking rock opera prodigy
and close your eyes,
when I got the feeling for strawberries and honey and ice-cream
I only opened the shower curtain and then the fridge.
Yes, matter of fact, go the fuck away,
Don't you have somewhere to be? Its nearly Christmas.

House sitting for a couple weeks and this cat desperately wants to be outside. Any time I go near the backyard door he runs to it and yells. I ignored him the first day cuz I wasn’t left any rules about this, and I’m not just gonna let a cat outside without a leash or guard.
I asked his owner if he’s an escape artist - should I be worried he’ll run away when I go outside to water the garden? Maybe lock him in the bathroom before I open an outside door? The answer was no. He loves being outside to roll in the dirt for approximately two minutes then screams to go back inside. He’s scared of the birds and won’t go farther than three feet from the house.
Sure enough, halfway through watering the plants he starts howling at me, looking expectantly at the door. Goes back inside no problem. What a good kitty.

British Columbia Road Trip
We have had an absolutely fantastic time during our 10 week swing through beautiful British Columbia. Through Karen’s organizational skills we ended up doing five house sits in five different locations around southern BC. We ran the gambit of animal personalities from dogs that were deaf, to obsessed with squirrels, to chickens that were just a little too curious at times. To blind Truffle who…

I find it very interesting to house sit cause I'm an incredibly judgemental person but I also hate upsetting/offending people and so when I'm alone in a house I get to just be openly horrified about the state of someone's microwave or the fact that they have absolutely no fruits or vegetables

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"
just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible
#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order#at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers#90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent#like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries#but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate#and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something#cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare#and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity#and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media#and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons#and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators#instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period#anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives#so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world#(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin#oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value#and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the#important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

And then Cedric fell asleep in my shoe, so I guess I’ll have to stay here another hour instead of going home.
