i might just stop wanting you
Apparently I'd already figured out in 2009 that Strangers When We Meet is my favourite Bowie song*. I'm thinking Outside might be my favourite album. (I wish I didn't figure out things and then forget them, but I know mid-2009 to early 2011 is full of holes re: my memory so yaaaaaaaaaaay).
I streamed some stuff through Spotify (I can get it to work on my phone but not the internet, wtf?) and it played me around half of The Next Day on shuffle, and I honestly don't know why I ever put off listening to it because I liked what I heard (I'm lukewarm on Where Are We Now? but eh. I don't like everything he's ever done anyway. But everything else on that album that I heard is OK!)
I had forgotten at some point in the past that I liked A Better Future (which is on Heathen). I am glad to have rediscovered it.

Addendum to my In Memoriam: I completely forgot that the entire reason I own Low on vinyl is because my ex-housemate bought it for me one day. She came home from town and was all, "I saw this, thought you'd like it, I hope you don't have it already." The weird part about this is I don't think I even listened to much Bowie while in the same house as her**. I remember watching Labyrinth with her because the DVD went missing, only to turn up again when I moved out. But really that's it.
(What I mostly remember is arguing about how to play a Tracy Chapman song on the guitar. And arguing in general).
(And even if I had had it already, I would snatched it from her hands because vinyl. I think the only other vinyl I have is Let's Dance. I may have to check this out).

Pictures under the cut! Linked from twitter :) Two of me, two of a minotaur.
Hair was annoying me, so I cut it all off.
Hobo status: confirmed.
A minotaur, though lacking horns, because I couldn't figure out how to make them (or at least make them in a way I found satisfactory). I made him to see if I could. And I can :D I'm thinking about making another one and selling it.

*The amount of people I've seen in the past week call it "an under-rated gem" amuses the crap out of me, because I always assume that if I like a thing, then pretty much everyone knows about it. Like that time I was surprised nobody on University Challenge knew Play Dead (Bjork). I know it so why doesn't everyone else?
**What I mean is, I'm always surprised when other people realise that I like him, and thus buy me related things.
