I don't know what to make of it. Avril has only started wearing high heels recently. I always thought because maybe she had big feet or something or didn't look good in heels but that isn't the case. I think Avril can pretty much pull off any look she wants because of her petit figure but this sitting position looks awkward in my opinion. Like she hasn't got an arse or a waist. Maybe she has a fat arse which looks flat because of her age but her breasts look good. I don't like it. It's not a very complimentary look for Avril. I don't know who's idea this album cover was but I think Avril has maybe been misled by Modsun's bad taste again like the idea of pulling someone's teeth out in the "bite me" acoustic video.
I mean I kind of get the symbolism that Avril is the party in a very dark way.

It's always so different at certain jobs. At my work it's so busy it's crazy, no one can take time off, you can't work from home, at work I have no clue we're in a pandemic. We always wore masks and safety glasses and such before the pandemic and we can't keep 1,5 meter distance with certain things at work so I always have a feeling I need a break or a day off but it all doesn't help. My therapy started last week and I can tell it will be intense once my body start to let go of tension. It's been build up for like 15 years and don't ask me why or how I still kept going but it was a state of survival for so long. Family issues are the biggest part of my stress so I can only learn how to deal with it since I can't change people (and it's not my duty to change people). So it will be very intense and hard work to change my own patterns and it will not be without tears and making some tough decisions. And then work is very busy. It's good in a way to get some distraction but on the other hand it's also an escape to not think (and doing) something about my situation. I hope I get some empowerment out of AL7 since it's a love letter to woman and about self empowerment. Yeah, I think letting go of tension is key to you getting rid of your back pain. I don’t know the ins and outs of your family problems so I can’t comment. As someone who struggles to hold down a job and struggles to survive when unemployed I admire your determination and ability as a capable employee. I just feel helpless again and ever so slightly like I wish I wasn’t here, like in general. Just need another break so I can be earning again. Got my glasses back from the opticians today so at least I can see now which was holding me back. Went out on my bike today in the sun for a coffee and that really cheered me up just to not care for a few hours.

“First Man”- A story about Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Really good 9/10.

Still not needed at work yet. Hopefully they will need me soon. It’s strange because I have saved up so much money I could happily take a year off. Part of me loves the break and part of me is deeply worried I might be looking for another job. That’s agency work for you.

I think it sounds like it is in the style of an album number 7 song. It is similar to “bite me” with the same kind of instruments being played. It sounds good.

Charcoal and chalk drawing done during my part-time art foundation course at Bourneville art college 2001-2003. I am a failed art student at heart. I was probably hungover to shit when I drew this.

I have finally got some glasses 👓 that I can see clearly with. Have had poor eyesight for ages which has been holding me back at work and probably not making me safe to drive. Only problem is that I have to wait another two weeks before I get some contact lenses. How do you wear a mask at work and glasses without them steaming up? This is my dilemma.

Oh my god, I don’t feel too good. I feel a bit crappy. Not needed at work for another week and the weather is really cold and wet. It was snowing today so I’m just stuck at home waiting to go back to work. I have had a chance to sort a few things out but generally I’m just bored.

Really hoping single #2 is coming next friday. Wishful thinking but it might be Bois Lie (With MGK) since he's been wearing DTA merch lately. Yeah, I saw MGK has been collaborating with Travis Barker recently in the news.

I think Christina Aguilera is a weirdo. I have been following her on Twitter for a number of years now, maybe as long as Avril and she just comes across as being a bit of a freak. I much prefer Avril’s public image and her career generally even if she isn’t as famous. Get over yourself girl!!(at Christina)

More car trouble… 😢 Having trouble starting. All the local garages are shut because it is a public holiday. Hopefully it will get me to work and back tomorrow and I can get it repaired tomorrow afternoon. That sucks! Kinda weird they’re all closed even tho it’s a public holiday. In Holland they’re all open, even when all other stores are closed now due COVID except grocery stores and pharmacy’s etc. I hope your car will bring you safe to your work! Yeah, it has really upset me today. Something wrong with the starter motor I suspect. Everything is stressing me out at the moment. I have so much stuff to sort out.
