I don’t necessarily endorse all of what’s written here. Some of it may be personal, neurotic, or inscrutable to the point of being useless to others, not very well-written or well-thought out, fail to fully elaborate on a point which seems important (and might actually be), randomly end in the middle of a thought, etc.

I don’t expect these to have a lot of use to others, but in case anyone with my particular brand of neurosis finds them useful, here they are. Likewise, if someone happens to read them and thinks they have the key to my existence, let me know.

Nosebleeds

I realized that nosebleeds are a relatively unusual thing for most people, and so they basically don’t have any idea how to deal with them or how concerned to be about them. I’ve had somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 of them in my life, and so have some degree of practical wisdom/familiarity about them.

The most important observation is that nosebleeds are basically just wounds in your nose.

It follows that most of the advice about wound treatment and prevention applies to those (modulo the ways in which the inside of a nose is slightly but not entirely different from other skin).

Underrated Radiohead Songs/Renditions

Not in any order, but all above a certain threshold of underratedness. No attempt to justify my taste or assertion that the songs are underrated.

  1. Supercollider (from the Basement)
  2. Little By Little (from the Basement) (incredibly better than the album version)
  3. Feral (from the Basement) (same as above)
  4. Videotape (Bonnaroo 2006)
  5. I Might Be Wrong (Coachella 2017)
  6. Bodysnatchers (Coachella 2017)
  7. Lotus Flower (Coachella 2017)
  8. Nude (OKNOTOK version)
  9. Motion Picture Soundtrack (OKNOTOK version)
  10. Jigsaw Falling Into Place (just the ordinary version)
  11. Meeting in the Aisle (here particularly because it’s obscure. Good ambiance for specific mindsets.)
