my upstairs neighbors are having another sing along party this evening. Because really what I need to propel me out of being sad is being pissed the fuck off. At least THIS time I don't have work tomorrow, but I still hope they're done before 1200 let alone 0200.

there must be something else
there must be something good
far away
far away from here
far away
far away from here
far away
far away from here
far away
far away from here,
and I'll be here for good.

@Bwee no, cause it's a subway sandwich, which implies the existence of a Chicago/NY based elevated sandwich

not me having a crying jag to Tom Waits

not me following that up by listening to Two Coffins by Against Me

all the things I have yet to lose will someday be gone too
back into annihilation
all things must change maybe it's better off that way
I wish that you'd never change.

Sure, since I'm drinking;

She's my only true love
She's all that I think of
look here, in my wallet, that's her
she grew up on a farm, there's
a place on my arm
where I've written her name next to mine
See, I just can't live without her
and I'm her only boy
She grew up outside McHenry
in Johnsburg, Illinois

here's where my mind is at rn;

I grab various stuff from my library to read on the toilet, so spotting an old Dragon magazine in my bathroom with the article "The Magic of Kyuss" set off singing "Lick Doo" while making dinner

@frost in all seriousness, thank you for reminding me to listen to the Green Tara Mantra.

@frost so's samsara

@frost I have transcended the duality of the floating world and become a pretzel in the clear light of Buddha.

@frost *instinctively responds by folding legs and chanting*

OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA

at 1:50 swivels in chair frantically making NYAO DAKKA DAKKA noises

"AI apps on your phone will be able to tell if you're depressed"

me in 3 years "well this thing's broken, it's sending me alerts daily"

my original plan was "these beans and rice are going to be pretty good, or I'll try to salvage them by dumping kochujang all over them," and they're pretty good, but I'm still pondering dumping kochujang all over them

what if I used today as an excuse to visit a bakery?

the combination of watching other people get a dream come true, with everything that comes out of job hunting (including holding off on weed in case there's a drug test), definitely doesn't feel great.

I don't need to spend money on congee, do I?

#drawings today

well my scanner (from 2015 or so?) finally bit the dust. I realize a GOOD artist draws directly using the wonderful tools in the graphics program, but what if I'm not a good artist and want to draw on the bus or something?

@frost like... maybe if we had UBI and/or being an artist or writer wasn't MADE to be starvation wages, people would care less about a plagarism machine to enrich tech bros. Maybe if we didn't have a looming environmental crisis, using enormous amounts of water to power plagarism machines wouldn't matter as much. Maybe if we didn't have a hostile system that required the constant APPEARANCE of expanding profits, nobody would need to shove plagarism machines down everyone's craw.

@frost I'm usually really skeptical about Marxist rhetoric, but AI definitely makes me want to quote the whole "communism or barbarism" thing
