tired; "Reptiles and Samurai" is about the conflict between the reptilian, primal id and the conscious, civilized ego

wired; "Reptiles and Samurai" is the theme tune for an imaginary 80s cartoon intended mostly to sell toys (different types of dinosaur people vs samurai distinguished by weapons)

I finally came up with a good description of having to stick around my parents' place for dinner with them;

"as fun as a 4 hour documentary about Stalingrad on a good day and about as fun as actual Stalingrad on a bad day"

Even if they are on sale and I desperately WANT to I shouldn’t spend $10 on a sparkly toy unicorn. Unrelated, I’ve decided I don’t need a half edible quite yet; I managed to get through Sunday evening without. But if Thursday’s as bad as I anticipate I might need that then.

Read through 4e’s Undermountain book as a break from the usual art etc (brain is real fried by interviewing and job hunt) and my hot take unsurprisingly is 4e was SO GOOD, especially for getting a game going really immediately. I really hope a second party gets the rights and rereleases it.

*listening to the Ep VI soundtrack *

“And now I ssssssense that you wisssssh to continue the ssssearch for young Ssssskywalker.”
*dabs at black armored chest* “Yes, my master. That just came out really juicy.”

the legendary Gnoll Scroll, only it turns out to be a cookbook for sentient dungeon creatures rather than magical at all

ah, this position REQUIRES you to have a LinkedIn and REQUIRES you to include the link in order to apply. this, along with the scam artists and really being upset about some recent events has convinced me that's enough job hunt for today, it's time for a nap.

the trolley problem, but it doesn't hurt anyone and it's for people with a hyperfixation on trains; you could pull the trolley and make the trolley go left, but then you wouldn't get to see the trolley go right.

Actually I revised a cartoon to include a couple more low poly options for your Cybertruck™️

and so we took from out on bail
a convict from the county jail
whose head was next
on some pretext
comdemned to be mowed off
and made HIM headsman, for we said
who's next to be decapited
cannot cut off another's head
until he's cut his own off!
His own off!
His owwwwwwwwwwn off!
(Until he's cut his own off)
and we were RIGHT, I think you'll say
to argue in this kind of way
and I am right and YOU are right
and EVERYTHING is quite correct!

Harry potter and the 20 year old franchise which for some unknown reason just would not die

Okay I did a Teams interview, I did an in person interview and voted. I probably SHOULD do important adult things and what I would now like to do is pay too much money for eating out and to spend the rest of today looking at little metal or resin people.

I had no idea Verdi wrote a requiem *click*

wow, this sounds EXACTLY what I'd expect a Verdi requiem to sound like. There are more melodramatic composers and most of them are Prokofiev.

I occasionally feel like the old way of doing things is obviously not working, that we're on the edge of a new and differently fucked up era, and a lot of people are trying to grab the last millions to be had before things change.

and when at last I've murdered
the man in the moon to a powder
his staff I'll break and his dog I'll shake
and there'll 'owl no demon louder!

Most recent bathroom reading is an Osprey book about the Mongol invasion of Russia in the 1220s. As part of explaining what went into the campaign/battle, there's a discussion on Mongol and Russian/Polovsian equipment, which includes a LOT of Mongolian words. Another cool thing is that there's actual use of yurts, tents rather than gir.

Please don't dress in black
When you're at his wake
Don't go there to mourn
But to celebrate

I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be me
I don't wanna be
Me anymore

IN DEINE AERME BIN ICH GLUECKLICH UND FROH
DA GIBTS DEN FUEHLUNG DASS MEIN' LIEBE
EINMAL SO
EINMAL SO
EINMAL SOOOOOO
JA KOMM KOMM ZU MIR
UND SOLL ICH BIN DEIN MANN
WANN ICH SAGE DICH
KOMM GIB MIR DEINE HAAAAAAAND

the urge to comment "AAAAAA GEORGE! *runs*" on all early Beatles songs
