I can't be the only one who reads "That's the Way" as being about homophobia.

I’ve decided that even if I can fight this thing successfully that I just can’t risk getting any dental procedures done.

Okay it turns out surprise dental bill is surprise insurance denies claim 5 months after the procedure. I would like to find THEM and shatter THEIR molars so months later THEY can have half THEIR paychecks go to American bullshit.

Even the racism maps (the enemy armies contain Okinawan pirates and southern elephant riders)! It’s wuxia! I was so caught up in Europe I hadn’t figured it out.

It took looking at fanart with East Asian features for me to realize that LotR is a Chinese story! Okay SO there are Taoist immortals aiding the people of the Middle Kingdom; one of them turns evil, destroying a delicate balance of power; a rough and tumble rural warrior, wielding a reforged ancestral blade, joins forces with a Confucian scholar, his cousins and manservant; they rescue the greatest city with an army of despised northern horse-archers and honor-bound dead men.

I went back to [three syllable] but my [two syllable] was gone.

when I think about how the last few hours played out, I'm very grateful I had some time just drawing and having that feel good.

Combination of things meant I unexpectedly did a batch of driving to help someone out this evening. aha you must feel pretty good! you're thinking. Kinda. I managed to fuck up cortisols and activity schedule and now I am awake in a way I surely won't be tomorrow afternoon.

do NOT leave Telegram groups that you might want to be in later

Some “my boss/coworkers/customers are stressing me out/hit really sore nerves” days are probably inevitable even if I worked on storyboards for Disney or something. But I really hope tomorrow works out better.

Having listened to the Pulp Fiction soundtrack so much in the 90s that I reflexively imitate Samuel L Jackson’s version of Ezekiel 10:17 after a surf track finishes, gets weird with things like surf covers of The Munsters theme.

inspired by the YouTube comment about "well music [from the 60s] used to tell stories"

nowwwwww
here's a little story I'd like to tell
about three bad brothers y'know so well
it started way back in history
with me, MCA, and me (Mike D!)
I had a little horsie named Paul Revere
me and my horsie and a quart of beer
ridin' cross the land, kickin' up sand
sherriff's posse on my tail 'cause I'm in demand
one lone beast-i-ee I be
all by myself without nobody
the sun is beatin' down on my baseball hat
the air is hot and still. the beer is gettin' flat
lookin' for a girl, I ran into a guy
his name is MCA, I say "howdy" he says "hi!"

Oh fuck yeah The Spud is back in Greenlake again! Closed Monday but they’re open till 2100 most of the week!

Guess who again regrets they took Russian and German, which don’t come into play that often, instead of Spanish, which would be profoundly helpful for working with recent immigrants?

Photos from this weekend. Old railroad station in Anacortes; vintage graffiti in the baggage room of that station; old apartments in Cap Hill; bookstore cat does a stretchy, also in Cap Hill.

Not just using Spanish pronunciation for the clade “opilliones,” but saying it in your best Unavision announcer voice. #sabado #sabado #sabado

I brought even more soup, and have a fair amount here, but am thinking of getting spicy vegetable glop from the nearest Japanese place to make leftovers and have veggie stuff.

A one page TTRPG set during the grimmest days of the Battle of Britain. Can your pilot come up with the most completely incomprehensible slang in the ready room before everyone has to scramble to face Me 109s and Fw 190s in the grey skies?

Between having only half a weekend, lack of sleep and transition to DST (not bad yesterday, but bad today when I needed to get up in wintry dark and wet!) I really want to skip work and nap instead!

convoluted quasi-horror movie dream combined with acid reflux from eating late in the evening wasn't a great combination, and I think I might go back to sleep soon, but honestly would like another day off.
