I suppose the silver lining is that it’s now so difficult to become an artist professionally, one can’t feel at fault when it doesn’t and can’t happen.

I’m not sure what prompted this Feb 2021 doodle of the need for proper PPE on site but I found it this morning anyway.

*surf version of Secret Agent Man concludes*
The path of the righteous is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.

forgetting the lyrics to “Seal Whales” and just bellowing YEEHAW instead

yep more insomnia

OST Alien Resurrection (1997): 06. Docking The Betty https://youtu.be/h61ILNOkJ7Y via @YouTube

apparently it's time to listen to the music from *the* best part of the entire movie (and I really liked this movie, it's the TTRPG movie in the series)

man, King Animal is a great album and I probably should listen to it while baked sometime

I'm not frightened of dying. Any time will do, if you don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've got to go sometime.

(I always imagined the speaker being a hobbit.)

so you run and you run to catch up to the sun but it's sinking
and racing around to come up behind you again
the sun is the same, in a relative way, but you're older
and shorter of breath
and one day closer to death
every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
the time is gone
the song is over
I thought I'd so much more to say

home
home again
I like to be here when I can
when I come home cold and tired
it's good to warm my bones besides the fire
far away, across the fields,
the tolling of the iron bells
calls the faithful to their knees
to hear the softly spoken magic spells

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.
