I eat 1, 2, 3, 4 burritos
pretty soon I can't fit in my Speedos
well I hope they feed us lots of chicken fajitas
and a pitcher margaritas

I have tomorrow off where nobody's going to particularly mind if I cry copiously, maybe I should rewatch The Dark Crystal

REPEATED RANT

be careful with needing violence to protect ourselves.

Because yes, we probably need it. But ethics and years of terrible fallout aside, the people who wind up on top in violent environments will stick around later. Let's be careful about handing the Mao Zedongs and Ariel Sharons of the world any control.

Power breeds parasites. Long live anarchy.

Five years ago was my first full day in Seattle (spent most of the 13th on the road obviously). I guess that makes sense as close to the halfway point between how it feels like it's been 3 years or 8.

oh man

so I found Damnation Alley and might watch it all the way through, but you have to understand a portrayal of nuclear war is real offputting to someone my age.

The charming watch sergeant who's an artist in his free time is Paul Winfield. That's a familiar name so I looked him up and wow, if you know the dude from STII and Terminator it doesn't touch the huge list of stuff he did.

Turns out he was also Gay, his husband went two years before he did and he went in 2004, alav ha shalom.

one or both my parents has a cold, so no seeing my folks and getting baked to help soak the psychological damage this evening

I am pondering spending the evening getting baked and listening to Tinariwen while wearing nothing but a fursuit head

hmmm

A Dracula movie in which all the titular character says is “bets!” “Blahd!” And “Transylvania!”

… oh and plays the Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor cause Toccata and Fugue is overused

Okay checking the military history section of the used bookstore, a complete book of curassier officers of the First Empire, and a book about Prussian curassiers in the lead up to horrifyingly realizing that didn’t work. SOMEONE had a niche interest, which I hadn’t considered books existed for.

anyway the thing I wanted to talk about yesterday

that iado duel at the end of Sanjuro? When I look closely Mifune steps *in* and to the side of Nakadai's attack, so even if the blow lands it won't be as bad. That's why his arm's extended, to help brace his sword when striking way closer than normal. Everything else is so dramatic I missed all this earlier.

"jazz hands" implies "bebop hands" during which your hands suddenly stop moving for several beats and possibly "ragtime" or "stride hands" in which your fingers move at furious speeds

It's wild how The Shadow (1994) didn't become some sort of cult classic movie. I mean it's gorgeous, there's random weird scenes which don't really do much for the plot, there's weird tension between the hero and villain which suggests they're gonna smooch...

wow, so I didn't *intend* to watch all of The Shadow (from 1994) tonight but that's what happened. Okay movie which, if there'd been some different story choices and editing, could have been great.

oooh YouTube has both Sinbad's Golden Voyage and The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad for free

Anyway have two #drawings from today and two of the things I inked this evening.

The Muppet Dune in which Paul is the only person who isn't a muppet (the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam does say he's a human after all)

I figure Sam the Eagle is the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, Statler and Waldorf as Gurney Halleck and Thufir Hawat, Miss Piggy as Vladimir Harkonen

crap it's the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam and let me guess, she brought one of her famous boxes of PAIN again

just once it'd be a nice surprise if there was something like Danish Butter Cookies in the box or something

hidden away in the rocks and crevices of this planet are a people known as the Fremen who have long held a prophecy that a man would come, a messiah, who would lead them to true freedom. The planet is Arrakis also known as... Dune

DUNE DUNE DA-DUNE
DUNE DUNE DA-DUNE
DUNE DUNE DA-DUNE
DUNE DUNE DA-DUNE

what, those are the lyrics

hey wow so that's what Talespin was like, I'd never seen an episode before, cultural knowledge from e621 led me to expect there was a lot more Gay sex

not sure why I expect that from pretty much everything I learn about on e621

*Ricardo Montalban voice*

On earth, three hundred years ago, I was a prince. And I was funky. I was a prince, the one and only. I did not come to fuck around, did I, ensign Chekhov, isn’t it?

hot take;

something I do not think [x people] get is that violence is necessary sometimes. This doesn't make it good, it's NEVER good. And I don't just mean hey, you did something which is at least ethically dubious.

I don't think [y people] get that when you use violence to solve problems, not only have you created fallout later among those you can't negotiate with, but the people who dominate YOUR group are now people good at violence with an interest in keeping things violent.

okay that's enough Gay furry art for now, and by Gay I mean "getting flogged by a leatherman next to the garlic fries at Folsom isn't that Gay"

though it merits the Cockworship Theme Tune
