Apparently it's being the sort of time period that a real specific part of the Jaws soundtrack prompts a tiny crying jag. Seriously I can explain.

every time I think "what if I tried went to seminary and got ordained" I get some sort of reminder that I would NOT be good at it and that's one of those professions like nuclear reactor technician or grade/high school teacher you do NOT want to do badly.

time to pause the Jaws soundtrack to listen to "Eggman" again

saw a convertible drivin' by
loaded up a slingshot, let one fly!

... oh crap, it's time for High Plains Drifter again, isn't it?

oh yeah John Williams' stirring "March of the Thyreophorans"!

so let's see furries really go for fantasies about animal people from D&D. Kobolds do the draconic-cat-submissive fantasy thing. Gnolls do the himbo AND potentially trans icon thing. Now if only I could figure out the next D&D monster to get big as a slutty art icon, I could *really* clean up.

I know! It's locathah, isn't it?

Honestly rate yourself!

@jupitersigh Not board game per se but I really like https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/760/battle-line

Everyone in this movie has fake Bela Lugosi accents like an Eastern European version of everyone learning their Australian accents secondhandby watching Outback Steakhouse ads.

Today’s #drawings

Chips and salsa and mead. Pork rinds and mead, just to be ultra ghetto.

@Kusimanse I think it’s my parents so the world is X and therefore even Y and Z is a stretch, plus it’s up against ME trying to say anything to them.

@frost on the other hand this is a little less emotional tangle than started yesterday off and way better than Friday, so.

really, I don't think you should be following me, I'm obviously a bad person.

Finally finished The Cult Places of the Aegean. My big criticisms are it's basically The Cult Places of Crete and Maybe a Little Greece as a Treat and there's a time scale referenced but not given anywhere, which doesn't quite match the "Helladic chronology" I can find. (It's very much assumed you research Mycenaeans for a living.) That said it's basically everything you might possibly wondered about this topic, the wildest speculation is pretty plausible (Mycenaeans remained basically an agrarian civilization with shrines out there in farmland long after they became urbanized and therefore obvious temples in towns are slow to crop up). The last interesting part in the book was a (believable but I wish better substantiated) contention that the eruption at Santorini really screwed with these dudes' take on the world because suddenly there's lots of activity at cave sites and less activity at official shrines.

@Kusimanse We did.

My Dad's former employee, a family friend *way* more extroverted than I am, somehow convinced them to get a phone on her plan for emergency use, which they promptly leave at home. She's been trying to convince them that it has a camera if they need one, no luck.

Nothing I've said to them gets through, which isn't particularly surprising. The real irony is "look up what might be interesting nearby when we're out" is SUCH my Dad's thing.

Really hate hypervigilance. My day was full of sunlight, walking, friends, and reading, but all it takes is running into some stuff online that presses buttons and it all gets forgotten for a few minutes to hours. If stuff hits bad enough, I wind up being back at the point I was before I did all of the therapy and reading etc for hours, *days*.

finished The Life and Death of a Druid Prince today. They start from the pretty feasible (last meal was a burned fairly good quality cake, so this probably wasn't a sacrifice due to a crummy harvest; a guy in good shape with a full beard, carefully manicured fingers and no obvious signs of having ever been in a battle was probably a druid of some sort; maybe the only item of clothing was a suggestion for his name, because there *are* fairly well off Celts recorded as having had fox-inspired names) move through bit of a stretch innit (he willingly ate the burned cake, 60 CE was a shitty enough year for Britain that it may have occasioned the sacrifice) to just throwing out conjecture (he was from Ireland originally, and the reason he doesn't have a torc is it's probably at Llyn Cerrig Bach not far away).

@kurgarru just a mix of what's going on musically in more popular music, being horny, and the certain knowledge that you and everything you knew was considered an easy sacrifice to a war you'd never live to hear formally declared.
