@ziphi I swear they seemed really ehh about the whole deal, like they nearly get missed by cars all the time. Maybe that happens? I was more visibly shook up. I'm *really glad* other people seem to think this was scary AF and I'm not making up/exaggerating my reaction.

that just really rubbed me the wrong way and my nerves are shot anyway

@Chiaroscuro thank you!

@GoodNewsGreyShoes Thanks! I was thinking of capoeira a little (like the way she has her arm up to guard her head while sweeping low) and this Tsimshian blanket with seabird beaks attached so it'd rattle when the wearer moved

@sphakos Thanks!

so on the way home there was a pedestrian in dark clothes crossing Aurora not at a crosswalk, so my headlights were why I saw them in time. I swerved, slammed on the brakes and as soon as I stopped, put on blinkers and ran out to look for them in case I'd hit them and they needed aid. They were walking across the other side of the street so I yelled "are you okay? Sir, are you okay?" at them, and they said they were fine, so I kept going, but this really shook me up.

Friends tell me that was the right thing to do, but I still feel like shit anyway.

anyway as long as I'm here trying very hard not to feel like complete shit, y'all want to see recent drawings?

okay, so after starting with the day off, I actually cleared my inbox and put in for some jobs. Deffo deserve to have a bagel with (non-dairy) cream cheese and maybe lox.

Okay, "Mack the Knife" is a lot less happy and bouncy as the original Moritatensong, which introduces Macheath/Mackie Messer as a generally unpleasant character, at the start of The Threepenny Opera.

But the really wild story is; Threepenny Opera was originally going to open with the beggar king's song. The actor playing Macheath wanted it to start with a song about *his*... cravat, of all things. Starting the opera with a song about Macheath's *character* is actually a compromise.

she held out hope for a couple of months
that he was still livin' somewhere
he'd put up the strongest kind of fight
he'd dig himself out with the dynamite
he'd finally be free on the fifth of July
- but Jesse got trapped in the coal mine,
never did marry his girl

down down under West Virginia
down down in the pitch black earth
down down, underneath she cried
down down deep below the surface
down down by the Mason-Dixon line
down down, underneath she cried
"my love is somewhere in that mountain."

@ziphi by sheer chance I swapped out soundtracks just now to the one which I think has AWESOMER villain music.

when I actually worked for Amazon as an accounting clerk, it was such a compelling experience that I never wanted to go back there again. In the years since they've gotten even bigger and crueler, so why would I ever want to work for them as a delivery driver or warehouse worker?

@ziphi Everyone wants awesome evil villains with either relatable motivations, *or* awesome outfits, or preferably both.

@ziphi I don't think you need to work on such a thing. Back when I worked for a company that was doing ML stuff (and trying to be ethical about it) I got the impression that ML might start a nuclear exchange thanks to associating troop movements with particular pizzas and a spike in people ordering that kind, or something like that.

@frost I got bagels! And a giant sandwich which I ate, and a used book about long dead Brits. Heading south again!
