okay, it's National Crow Quoting Month! The month of being COMPLETELY OBNOXIOUS quoting a movie which, to be fair, wasn't quite as good as we make it out to be!

"Whatcha all painted up for, crackhead? Halloween ain't till manana!"

oh YEAH it's my favorite pagan group! To connect better with our pre-Christian roots they usually sing in Gothic, which *they* don't speak either! Lately they've branched out into Tatar Tele!

rent and bills paid, called landlords to check in about a note they left on my door. I think any plans for tonight's dinner have now become pelmenii and whatever pickles I have in the 'fridge.

what I want to say is not a fitting sentiment for the Days of Awe, so let's not send it out into the void right now, even if it's understandable. A far more appropriate sentiment is "I feel my ability to survive or even thrive has been really compromised, and I would like those people who have compromised it to honor me more as a person sharing their world.

Today’s just sucked on toast. Gonna get a really froo froo latte and draw some. Maybe post lewds later too. Do y’all like (properly CWed/restricted) dick pics?

Guess what, I didn’t get to be done with phones, today.

Within 30 seconds on the phone with this customer I’d successfully established myself as the Antichrist. I think I was on the phone with them for 7 minutes. The last person I dealt with so sure I was intentionally trying to fuck up was my mother.

This morning was the sort of customer who complains bitterly to the natural history museum that THEY extincted the dinosaurs and need to fix it. And complains at the gift shop.

So done with phones today.

Recently reacquired Dragon issue 122 from my parents’ house. Biiig central foldout ad of Citadel miniatures! That thing was completely magic to kid me… who am I kidding? It’s magical *now*.

At least 3 times Dune got reinterpreted;
* George Lucas saw a desert where harvesting water was all important and went, hey this is basically Modesto.
* Games Workshop designers saw elite soldiers putting spiritual faith in their Emperor and weird mutant navigators in a place where it rains constantly.
* Alejandro Jodorowski went “space emperors, nuns and warrior codes are cool, but this is kind of bland and there’s not enough sex or blood.”

telling myself that it's okay to want a vacation of some sort just because I've been working pretty continuously for a while - or just because it's okay to want time off and travel. Just because it's not practicable doesn't mean it's not okay.

It's pretty easy to run into my issues, but they exist to distract/explain/predict on top of stuff which by itself is no fun.

At my last job, an expectation of constant overwork, low pay, and occasionally being yelled at for not perfectly interpreting things I hadn't been told by folks in the next state over were crap. They would've been crap if I'd come out of a supportive background.

The bad news today is that while my current job is far easier, it's still work, and I honestly just think I need a break of some sort (I was between jobs for only three weeks of really active job hunting, so there was little no down time there).

ruining Sting's "Don't Stand So Close to Me" by bellowing IF YE DON'T EAT YOUR MEAT YE CAN'T HAVE ANY PUDDING! HOW CAN YE HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YE DON'T EAT YOUR MEAT? YOU THERE, LADDIE!

Just can't hear it with a straight face. "7 major changes to skills, great miners and blacksmiths. 3 new ancestry options, eldest and fairest. And 9 completely new feats for mortal men who above all else desire power. Yet they were all of them deceived. In the land of Renton, the Wizards of the Coast forged in secret a last ruleset. #onednd to rule them all."

Okay blasting Cherry Bomb and singing along makes up for AC/DC (no offense if they’re your thing but they’re very “stuff you as a good cis straight boy MUST love” to me).

New Warhammer 40K Mister Potato Head! Add YOUR choice of Khornate fanged jaw horns, Nurglings and boils, Tzeenchian bird motifs, or tits!

It’s apparently one of THOSE days

Customer; “I’ll be in and out all day.”
My brain; In and Out. I haven’t had burgers in months. Burgerrrrrrr.

Apparently having one of those “not everyone grew up around/expected to join/still kinda idealizes the military” moments. Whoa.

Actually generation stuff wise, I’m currently feeling a lot more accepting of Gen X being rebranded as “elder Millenials” or w/e.

Thinking of Boomers and how the 45-50 set are oldest kids, school systems scrambling to figure out how to handle extra kids, guys who landed at Da Nang sure they were fighting for something important etc. Very different from the 55-70 set.

And if that’s true why not lump GenX - kinda the test case for college debt, PCs and blame throwing - in with a larger group?

strangely a few more hours of blissful sleep did not actually make me excited and eager to go into my day job
