somehow I went from "everyone grabs their practice sword and strikes three times, during the appropriate part of the Samurai Jack soundtrack" to listening to the track from THE BEST SAMURAI JACK EPISODE EVER.

BETWEEN THE TIME WHEN THE OCEANS DRANK ATLANTIS
AND THE RISE OF THE SONS OF ARIUS
I AKU THE SHAPECHANGING MASTER OF DARKNESS
UNLEASHED AN UNSPEAKABLE EVIL
AND UNTO THIS, A FOOLISH SAMURAI WARRIOR, WIELDING A MAGIC SWORD, STEPPED FORTH TO OPPOSE ME
IT IS I HIS CHRONICLER WHO ALONE CAN TELL THEE OF HIS SAGA

JP. The best one, tbh. Features great effects work, cinematography, characters actually develop and change. Add a then-new take on dinosaurs and it's groundbreaking.

Lost World. A mix of brilliance (the long grass scene, actually having herbivores as a credible threat) with profoundly DUMB (the end in San Diego and suddenly everything being just great). Features main characters who have exactly no clue about surviving anything.

JPIII. Sexually dimorphic 'raptors, then excitingly brand new Spinosaurus, and an Apocalypse Now styled trip down the river are the best things about this one. But it starts out actively BORING, and the feel good send-in-the-troops ending loses me. The worst one of the series imho.

Jurassic World. Works great as a silly, dinos escape and start killing people movie. I liked it. The best part was honestly how it winds up being a semi-scientific-monster movie take on Blackfish, don't do this to captive animals.

Fallen Kingdom. Even goofier fun, further and further removed from "getting to see dinosaurs." The chase through stately Wayne Manor aspect was particularly dumb and fun.

oh you're fucking kidding me

you're fucking kidding me

they had a workman just SHOW UP to replace the CO2 detectors

I am really lucky I wasn't trying to fucking sleep quite yet

They didn't fucking leave any notice this was planned

Fucking landlords

The noble lady Jessica Rabbit! She alone could have bourne a Rabbit heir who would seal the breach. But she thought only of the Duke’s desire for a son and now both more detailed cartoons and zany UPA style bloodlines may be lost.

Yep here it is, the first suicidal thought of the day. I know exactly how my situation reminds me of childhood and is making me think this, but it still sucks.

I really REALLY want to skip out today.

the whole Dall-E thing, and so on

I swear I didn't used to be so much of a luddite basically, but now a new technology comes out like this and I don't think "hey, this is going to really change things for the better" or even "cool toy," I just see it as another thing that rich people are going to use to get richer. I don't see "making cool stuff," I see increased rents and more equivalents to superhero films I just can't be excited about, and more dreams not coming true.

A culture of fear cut through me
I felt my heart contract
To my mind I brought the image of light
And I expanded outward
My fear was just a shadow
And a voice spoke in my head.
She said, "darkness is not the opposite of light,
It's the absence of light."

there was a young girl whose smile was a frown
'cause she was crippled for life, and she couldn't speak a sound
and she wished and prayed she could stop livin'. So she decided to die.
Drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore, and to her legs she smiled, "You won't hurt me no more."
But then a sight she never seen made her jump and say,
"Look a golden winged ship is passin' my way."
And it didn't really have to stop.
It just kept on goin'.
And some castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually.

#drawings today, trying to deal with the anger and the depression. A couple of werewolves and trying out new pencils; blue pencil of a group of wizards (some of the "Pride wizards" mentioned Sunday, but I'm not really sure how to integrate the flag colors).

called my house rep and asked her to refuse the Senate's security for SCOTUS bill. Not that it'll do anything, but frankly I feel like we should refuse to shell out taxpayer money to protect fucking Nazis until the fucking enemy accepts measures to protect folks like grade schoolers.

My politics have moved back towards “screaming ‘I hate you I hate you I hate you’ until I lose coherency and scream wordlessly.”

Imagine if I hadn’t been working quite as hard and instead worked on my portfolio or fenced or ran Dungeon World or slept all night long consistently because I didn’t feel cheated out of my day and was hoping to get time back. Will I see a bonus for this? A pay raise?

We had record sales in May, we surpassed May sales for other NA offices, the CEO of the company emailed my boss to congratulate him.

I really miss some specific people from online, and from RL. I also keep wanting to be petite and wanted and pretty, stuff like that.

I can't skip tomorrow as it's assumed I'm going to be there. The assumption I'll always show is part of how I hate the job.

I think I keep staying up in the middle of the night because I'm trying to cheat life right back, because of my life being stolen by this job. I should PLAN a day off, or just take one, at this point.

Really want to skip out tomorrow.

Honestly? I think the last few months I’ve been having problems with depression. I dropped my D&D game, I haven’t colored anything since January, I’m not really posting even to Instagram anymore.
