What's The Big Red Box?

henry! important question for you now you're here! thoughts on wolves and/or dogs 🐺?

i had two of them out there. more my dad's dogs than mine but i liked going hiking with them and stuff like that. good company.

can't speak on wolves though. saw one once. family trip out to yellowstone. they're bigger than you think. sort of thing you look into its eyes and know it won't kill you but only 'cause it would be too easy. never liked wolves much

Log #7

Today, Henry asked me about my favorite song. His reasoning is as proceeds: what, with me speaking to him from them airwaves and such, ergo I should be knowing a lot of music. I don’t know nearly as many tunes as he does. Practically lives off of them. I know my songs, what I sang — rags and the like — I know swing, jazz, and the blues — I know rock and roll. Sure, I’ve heard songs after that, but they don’t really live in me the same way, you know? Henry’s showing me all these songs from his home, and I can hear it and tap my toe to it in the moment — though they ain’t really toe-tappers — but after it kinda just slips from my mind. Oh, the lad got a good chuckle outta that one. Guess I’ll just have to keep singing them, he said.

i have no idea who you are, nor do i know how and where you found me, but you seem like a rly cool person!! :)) /gen

Nice to make your acquaintance! You seem like a swell person as well!

he's got his ways. lots of little strands of colors and shapes as far as i can tell

thoughts on chainsaw man??!!

Taking a gander…this title you say to me evokes an image, and I’m not disappointed! Glad to see he is not just a man with a chainsaw but a man who is kinda a chainsaw as well! Doin’ any delicate-like handiwork must be awful inconvenient!

hi will! back with another song recommendation!!! im not sure how familiar you are with the blues but this is a delta blues song so it's in a style that should've originated somewhere around your time (20s? 30s? which is it anyway) and the lyrics reminded me a lot of you!

Wow! Love this tune — real catchy! Some of us are born to lose!

hi will! my friends have asked me to send you some more classic country/blues songs so here are some of my favourites! tried not to put too much carter family in this one lol

blue yodel - jimmie rodgers - (1928)

phonograph blues - robert johnson (1936)

see that my grave is kept clean - blind lemon jefferson (1928)

evil devil woman blues - memphis minnie (1941)

hello stranger - the carter family (1937)

lovesick blues - elsie clark (1939)

conversation with a gun - tex ritter (1930)

i could go on forever but you get the gist!

Wahoo! Thanks for all your help, kid. I love these! Gets me in a walkin' kinda mood. I'll try to put these together somehow!

talking about thomas, do you think it’s be possible for him (or any of the others) to, um, put themselves together (not sure how else to phrase it…)?

Ain't ever tried it before, but I assume if he's been scraped all over the place, he's like a big puzzle, ain't he? Maybe so!

happy anniversary! are you doing anything in particular to celebrate? (also nice to meet you :)

Nice to meet you, too! Not doin' anything special -- startin' to organize a year's worth of junk. Honest, I oughtta be further along at this point. Well!

h e l l o? why is your blog so o l d

Woah! Howdy, Tati! Here to check out our new decor?

n o

the vibes in here are a w f u l btw 🤎

haha, p roba b ly. i d id m y be s t!

i  n e e d to talk to you i've been w a i t i n g for a while 🤍 you guys really take your t i m e in that garden of yours huh 🤭

Oh, ab-so-lute-ly!

um . . . may b e.

ew. forget i said anything anyway my angels are telling me your m o n s t e r is looking for us ‼️

Yikes!

sh ould we hide? we could go back to my pl ac e.

I mean, I figure it ain’t benefitting any of us if we split up. S’pose the thing would simply come for Tati here again. 

y e s  i don’t want to be HERE a l o n e ‼️ and if i was in your w e i r d old screensaver i’d be as uncomfortable as grandpa radio is over here

h e y!

i’m not asking for h e l p like i think you shouldn’t be a l o n e either ❌

that’d just be s t u p i d

and didn't they already find you there o n c e.

your place isn't s a f e. 🔓

i don' t t h ink i can st ay here muc h lon ge r, though.

And this ain’t the most secure place to hide anyway. As much as I like the folks here, it ain’t exactly private. We’d hafta find somewhere you all solidly have feet on the ground, somewhere just for the three of us.

why n ot the pl a ce we u sed to ha ng out? 

your boyfriend d e s t r o y e d it. lmao

Technically, Mal did! Or maybe those folks we’re lookin’ to avoid! Who can say?

oh. wha t if we ma ke a new on e?

what about m a l 💓

shouldn’t we all be t o g e t h e r

Someone let us know she could be stoppin’ by a while back, but I ain’t heard a peep from her yet. S’pose we could wait for her, though time is of the essence!

and…i don’t kno w. hiding out’s only temp orary. and the kind of p la ce we need sounds pretty s m all. d a r k. lone l y. we can’t stay ther e forev er

maybe we'll have time to come up with a permanent s o l u t i o n

Henry and I have been working on some thin’ like that! Couple of the folks out there seem to think I’m responsible for the sticky situation those kids are in. 

w e al l ar e.

Well, figure a fella ought to be able to admit when it ain’t turning out like he hoped. And start hopin’ for somethin’ new! 

like pick in g them ap ar t, if we ca n .

aren’t they like the closest thing to d e a t h HERE 💒

how are you even gonna do that

Erm. Well. We ain’t rightly sure!

but with a little more t ime ma yb e we ca n figure it ou t

And I’d sure appreciate your brains on the matter, kid!

t h a n k s.

i guess if we had a s a f e p l a c e we could think about it more. or come up with more of a p l a n at least

and may be o n e of our buddie s wh o it isn ' t so dang erous to will g et to it bef ore w e ca n

… spea king of which, how a re we gonna make a new place? …

...

What’re ya lookin at me for? 

i mean. you’re the only one who can m o v e around comfortably. have you s e e n anywhere that could work

We ain’t tryin to make anythin’ so big as a whole “Site!” All we need’s a li’l pocket. Somewhere that thing can’t access! 

i don’t think we can do it. even all t o g e t h e r.

but mayb e they could.

i don’t t r u s t them 💔

Ya got any better ideas, kid?

💬 💬 💬

fine. let's ask mal once she gets here.

if sh e get s here. should i g o ch eck on he r?

Sweetheart, you ain't in much condition to go hoppin' around! If I knew where she'd got off to, I'd do it, but nobody's found occasion to say.

yeah, i dunno eith e r.

well. let's s e e.
