#drawings today. Future Seattle is full of big terminals with clicky analog keyboards.

hm. "wo shuohua yi diandian zhongguo, duibuqi. Qing shuo yingwen huozhe eyu?"

okay this is cool. Mandarin is kinda logical, so people from Deguo speak dewen, people from Faguo speak fawen,etc. Naturally I want to say which languages I *can* sorta understand so... people for Russia, EYUOSI, speak EYU. And similarly everyone in immediate contact with China (riben, hanguo, yuenan) has older forms. Equivalent to how the Russian for China and Chinese -kitai/kitaiskii - reflects an empire which hasn't existed for over a thousand years.

the Erowid review for taking a shit

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Okay so a 16’ tall dire hobbit, but he had hairy feet and had biscuits with tea, and that still counts. So it was a very large hole in the ground, but it was still a hobbit hole, and that means comfort.

it took me years to realize the name of the old 60s vintage song is "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye," because despite the very clear diction of the chorus I kept parsing it as "Sayonara, sayonara, hey hey, goodbye."

Managed to work on two #drawings today

Indiana Jones and the Egregious Ethnic Stereotyping

@ziphi well this is familiar

but who would be the best fit to direct the movie adaptation of the Silmarillion? since it's a pretty safe bet that David Lynch has effectively retired I'm pretty sure that leaves it a toss up between Peter Chung and Lloyd Kaufman

I was a good boy, girl or whatever the hell gender I actually am and I cooked a fuckton of noodles instead of spending more money. VEGAN even.

fine, ain't like I have tons of money to throw at getting people the hell out of this crap situation but here, maybe someone else does.

@finny yeah but they're about to get a Raising Cane's so they're cool

video interview 2 done, no thanks to fuckin' Teams deciding that now was a great time to choke up. Hopefully I can troubleshoot Teams later and after video interview 3 I can fill my day with nothing but thoughts about D&D, MAYBE picking up more Mandarin, MAYBE getting congee or a big froofy crepe.

Today's gonna be another three (thankfully remote) interview day, and more than one interview trashes me out completely, but given my luck with interviews, it's not like this hurts my chances. And anyway, I got a good cup of coffee, a tiny amount of drawing time and I got to pet a couple of dogs.

definitely a morning worth of noticing that, if there's something which supports beliefs that I'm innately flawed, different and isolated from my peers, and about to be rejected, my intrusive thoughts will grab it and REALLY run with it.

wow, my stomach really did NOT like using the remaining olive tapenade on those vegan ravioli.

oops, apparently in addition to the sing along upstairs neighbors and the screaming kids upstairs neighbors (suspect these are the same folks) my other upstairs neighbor's practicing aikido again or something.
