Listening to the Ep IV soundtrack this morning. Something that got me even as a kid is the sequence where the stormtroopers know they’re searching for droids thanks to one soldier finding this substantial looking chunk of C-3PO.

Ironically the lyrics to “Alech Taadi” match the idea of Dallas being completely smitten by Leeloo, and YET thanks to that scene/movie, I associate the song with bad driving.

If you had a tacosona, would you post your tortilla suit for BOTH Taco Tuesday and Fursuit Friday?

I hate how this EATS spoons. And it always fucking happens because invariably I make mistakes though I’m unsure how much is unclear direction vs my inability to focus on tasks (which might be different from being a stupid inept moron who invariably fucks up)

It would really be useful if my reaction to any adult questioning my past actions wasn’t heart in my mouth bracing to get some huge harangue about how I’m stupid, not detail oriented or how I fuck everything up. Possibly with getting kicked out, thanks to prior employers.

a nostalgic playlist of stuff that got tons of airplay in the 90s, like “Mary on the Toilet” by Stone Temple of the Dog, or “Incoherent Grief” by Nirvana, except somehow I don’t remember any of these songs

I would like to draw, waste time online and take a nap, without losing my job. Similarly, I would like to get breakfast/lunch at Hattie’s Hat rather than eat my delicious Trader Joe vegan sandwich. C’mon, I can fucking WALK to Hattie’s Hat from here! And they have really good jam!

A D&D thing I think would be interesting; goblins are actually fey creatures in the same way gnomes are, where setting fires, overeating, cruelty, and other stereotypical extravagances are what keep goblins tied to the other world. Hobgoblins and bugbears are stable hybrids of goblins with more mortal orcs or humans, more worldly and stable and less innately magical.

and more insomnia?

my upstairs neighbors are apparently having another one of their parties to celebrate how it's nearly Thursday. I expect this to end up in vaguely on key sing along at 0200-0400. Hopefully I'm wrong about that.

uh oh the sing along just started

hot take; although Conan the Barbarian is a better movie than Conan the Destroyer, Conan the Destroyer is WAY more of a D&D movie.

#drawing today. I figured it was the supermoon, so you get more werewolves; the faces yesterday felt like they worked okay so I wanted to push that a little further.

Food photo. Such a big tzimmis to make my own deli food.

As opposed to a pumpkin SPACE latte, which comes in a tube that you can suck through for ZeroG conditions

At the end of the movie Zulu (probably hugely problematic; has only a faint resemblance to the battle of Roarke’s Drift; was on tv a lot when I was a kid, I still love it) there’s this blurb about how 11 men in that action won the VC out of 1000+ VC Awards in the prior century (this in 1964ish).

So… averages out to 10+ VC winners annually. Even assuming some years (1914, 1940, etc) are going to be unusually heavy, that’s a LOT of wars Britain’s been in over that time period.

Since the most British media includes charming animals, the pastoral countryside, mysteries and the Blitz/finest hour we can logically conclude the most British show ever would be Watership Down in the 20s/30s but with locked-warren murders, and then RAF bunnies.

And then of course the daleks would show up.

Ahem.

A WOLF SHALL DEVOUR THE SUN AND THIS WILL BE CONSIDERED A GREAT MISFORTUNE! A SECOND WOLF SHALL DEVOUR THE MOON AND THIS TOO SHALL DO GREAT MISCHIEF! A SWORD DAY, A RED DAY, ERE THE SUN’S RISING!

that was a nasty little mood spike of "the 90s are long gone and I am old and somehow here"

I'm gettin' even more famous by the hour
I'm stuffed with pastries and I'm drunk with power
now they're puttin' up my statue by the Eiffel Tower
