"I want you should tell me, from hash bars."
"*I* should tell you from hash bars?"
"*You* tell me from hash bars."
"What's there to say from hash bars?"
"Hash is legal there nebbech?"
"It's legal an' 100% legal, but they don't want you should go to a coffeeshop, order a coffee and a nice danish, and start puffing away. They want that you should smoke in y'home or certain designated places."

"I love you, pumpkin."
"I love you, honey-bunny."
"Everybody be cool, this is a robbery!"
"ANY OF YOU FUCKIN' PRICKS MOVE AND I'LL BLOW YOUR MOTHERFUCKIN' HEADS OFF!"

... sorry, Misirlou came on the speakers.

Then I thought as long as I can't sleep, I'll scan art and prep it for later. This *did* help with some of that chunk of technique, and I feel pretty good about moving that much closer to actually really working up stuff more. Though it was still involved enough that I kinda want to walk away for a while and come back and work on those pictures more later.

Went to Blick, mostly got more paper; went to Target, got new boxer shorts and jeans for the first time in a bit. Did a lot of laundry, but also refined/inked drawings. Stepped back from outrage, trying to remind myself that others value and care about me, as my thoughts before bed.

G'night, Mastodon.

this new pair of jeans is supposedly "Relaxed Straight" and I'm neither.

John Wayne's teeth! John Wayne's teeth!
Aaaaare they plastic, are they steel?

THERE WUZ A TINY TAOWN NAMED ROCK RIDGE
WHERE PEOPLE LIVED IN HAR MO NEE
THEY NEVER HAD NO KIND OF TROUBLES
THERE WAS NO HINT OF MISERY
TH' TAOWN SALOON WUZ ALWAYS LIVELY
BUT NEVER NASTY OR OBSCENE
BEHIND THE BAR STOOD ANAL JOHNSON
HE ALWAYS KEPT THINGS NICE AND CLEAN
*braaaap*

again, as a latrans-American I take strong exception to the phrase "keeps the varmints on the run."

SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE
WAITING FOR THE VAN TO COME!
STUPID BLOODY TUESDAY
GREASY FINGERS SMEARING SHABBY CLOTHES,
HEY AQUALUNG!

who's gonna take you home tonight,
who's gonna take you home?

I haven’t heard this song since the 80s, and uh... there’s a reason for that, it’s not that good...

And we say we’re in love with all of it,
And we say we’re in love with everything,
And we lie, love to lie.

* gets off at Pioneer Square, runs around *

What happened to us,
What happened to us,
What happened to something that never was?
I’m not a... trash panda!

The real catch is that if winning competitions justify your worth (rather than your win condition being playing), it will eat the joy out of your "game." Everyone loses sooner or later when someone is more experienced/skilled or simply luckier. Goes for anything; fencing, D&D, getting laid, surviving in late capitalism.

But our society is TERRIBLE about winning competitions determining value and uh, when that gets applied to sex it wrecks or ends lives.

After reading an article about Incels, I'm thinking that a lot of people - probably including some pickup artists - wanted to think of the whole PUA deal as practically innocent.

"Hey, let's try and get laid, no consequences" theoretically encompasses "and if it doesn't work, that's okay too; you can't always 'win.'" But when you throw sort of callous dismissal of others as mere goals, into competitive culture (see gamers) and misogyny it gets ugly fast.

Paranoia probably; PayPal sent a nastygram saying PLEASE CHECK YOUR SECURITY SETTINGS ARE UP TO DATE BEFORE JUNE 30 OR WE DISCONTINUE YOUR SERVICE, which I thought might be spearphishing, but it's legit afaik. I used their test page and got the official "no, it's cool, PayPal works" message, which means I'm still worried that they're gonna dick me over in 16 days.

Me; “I’m gonna do some warm up pencils and then tighten up/revamp/ink stuff I pencilled in the last 2 sketchpads.”

Also me; “gonna loosely pencil 4-6 pages worth of random gunk while feeling completely zombified and not finish anything at all.”

Also I like dinosaurs, figure drawing, Vikings, and the movie Solo.”

as part of last week being running like crazy then this week being jobless yet not exactly unemployed, I think I want to slow down and be self indulgent a little more. As part of that I was thinking of getting either good ramen or really junky dim sum, later.
