man, King Animal is a great album and I probably should listen to it while baked sometime

I'm not frightened of dying. Any time will do, if you don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've got to go sometime.

(I always imagined the speaker being a hobbit.)

so you run and you run to catch up to the sun but it's sinking
and racing around to come up behind you again
the sun is the same, in a relative way, but you're older
and shorter of breath
and one day closer to death
every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
the time is gone
the song is over
I thought I'd so much more to say

home
home again
I like to be here when I can
when I come home cold and tired
it's good to warm my bones besides the fire
far away, across the fields,
the tolling of the iron bells
calls the faithful to their knees
to hear the softly spoken magic spells

I can't be the only one who reads "That's the Way" as being about homophobia.

I’ve decided that even if I can fight this thing successfully that I just can’t risk getting any dental procedures done.

Okay it turns out surprise dental bill is surprise insurance denies claim 5 months after the procedure. I would like to find THEM and shatter THEIR molars so months later THEY can have half THEIR paychecks go to American bullshit.

Even the racism maps (the enemy armies contain Okinawan pirates and southern elephant riders)! It’s wuxia! I was so caught up in Europe I hadn’t figured it out.

It took looking at fanart with East Asian features for me to realize that LotR is a Chinese story! Okay SO there are Taoist immortals aiding the people of the Middle Kingdom; one of them turns evil, destroying a delicate balance of power; a rough and tumble rural warrior, wielding a reforged ancestral blade, joins forces with a Confucian scholar, his cousins and manservant; they rescue the greatest city with an army of despised northern horse-archers and honor-bound dead men.

I went back to [three syllable] but my [two syllable] was gone.

when I think about how the last few hours played out, I'm very grateful I had some time just drawing and having that feel good.

Combination of things meant I unexpectedly did a batch of driving to help someone out this evening. aha you must feel pretty good! you're thinking. Kinda. I managed to fuck up cortisols and activity schedule and now I am awake in a way I surely won't be tomorrow afternoon.

@eredien @frostwolf Oh! Earlier this evening I was in one of my periodic "I just don't fit in with these people, I'm not really wanted here" moods.

do NOT leave Telegram groups that you might want to be in later

Some “my boss/coworkers/customers are stressing me out/hit really sore nerves” days are probably inevitable even if I worked on storyboards for Disney or something. But I really hope tomorrow works out better.

@fairydoctor420 the movie’s version is something like “great vengeance and furious anger on those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.” It’s been a while.

@fairydoctor420 shit it’s 25:17!

@fairydoctor420 I vaguely remember the movie’s version mixes the actual quote with something else. The soundtrack had that clip right at the end after Surf Rider.

Having listened to the Pulp Fiction soundtrack so much in the 90s that I reflexively imitate Samuel L Jackson’s version of Ezekiel 10:17 after a surf track finishes, gets weird with things like surf covers of The Munsters theme.

inspired by the YouTube comment about "well music [from the 60s] used to tell stories"

nowwwwww
here's a little story I'd like to tell
about three bad brothers y'know so well
it started way back in history
with me, MCA, and me (Mike D!)
I had a little horsie named Paul Revere
me and my horsie and a quart of beer
ridin' cross the land, kickin' up sand
sherriff's posse on my tail 'cause I'm in demand
one lone beast-i-ee I be
all by myself without nobody
the sun is beatin' down on my baseball hat
the air is hot and still. the beer is gettin' flat
lookin' for a girl, I ran into a guy
his name is MCA, I say "howdy" he says "hi!"
