trying to find a specific march "which shows up during the Trooping of the Colour" turns out to be difficult and also this has been a little too much nationalism for me

ah much better

everyone please stand for England's national anthem.

you see someone might have been at the Asian Family Food Center on Monday, and they might have thought to themselves "oh wow there's lotus leaf sticky rice, and I love lotus leaf sticky rice!" and "there's oyster mushroom, and I love making mushroom gravy!" without entirely thinking through how lotus leaf sticky rice and oyster mushrooms can go off with time. So dinner tonight is a *lot* of rice, all told.

*listening to “The Sea Hawk” score*

Ah, here’s the point in the movie where Basil Rathbone falls off the stairs to lie in the surf with the incoming waves rolling over his chiseled features.

* ruins the Korngold music by cheering “soft focus! SOFT FOCUS!” during the romantic passages *

Okay next up is the “Elizabeth and Essex” score. And again I can see Williams being influenced; but he deserves credit for being able to pull on this stuff without really falling into Korngold’s patterns, which FEEL somehow very dated to the 30s-40s.

I have exactly no idea what happens in “King’s Row,” but Korngold’s music is so stirring I can only assume this is the part where they run out the guns and prepare to repel boarders. (Also wow; Williams REALLY was influenced by this score.)

Another night of falling asleep where I could snooze through the battle of Kursk next door, and then I woke up thanks to weird nightmares and was AWAKE.

Wet no joyfuw voice be heawud! Wet no foxxo wook to the sky wif hope! And wet dis day be cuwsed by we who pwepawe to wake... THE KWAKEN!

uWu!

Today’s #drawing, went with the stealthy scenario.

When I get off shift I should draw; adventurers vs wereshark, samurai duel, or scout eavesdropping on a sinister meeting?

in my dreams it snowed (another "wake up in bedroom not the one I have IRL") and now I don't want to drive in to work

so I wind up feeling okay about the evening, and going to sleep and soon I'm off dreaming about closing venetian blinds in a room not my own when suddenly the upstairs neighbor kid is having some sort of crying screaming meltdown, and THEN suddenly there are adults stomping around yelling and my other upstairs neighbor stomping around. A little into taking melatonin I realize I'm actively triggered and hypervigilent and yeah, no, it's not happening. One half edible later, and there's still occasional stomping.

#drawing today, starting a new sketch pad and largely ignoring my careful thumbnails.

see my idea for a Schwarzenegger vehicle has him working in a Chinese restaurant, so that the entire movie is a setup for him pointing at a rack of cleavers and yelling GET TO THE CHOPPER

"many apologies master, but I feel Ed Gruberman is not fully wrong."
"what do you mean?"
"I, too, wish to boot some head."

TEST YOUR MIGHT

POWER BREEDS PARASITES
LONG LIVE ANARCHY!

(Look, if Dima can write the thing about being upset about Hungary, I can pick the wrong revolution too)

#subpost Shoot for the moon, if you miss you'll wind up among the stars

an immense dark shape drifting in the space between spaces, defying any sane geometry, slit-pupiled eyes closed as tentacles twitch in no-longer-human dreams

awaiting the hour that you are summoned back once more

"before Rockwell a Gay artist defined the perfect American male"

yeah well 1) I knew that 2) most artists know that 3) Rockwell completely idolized Leyendecker 4) and was cool with Leyendecker being Gay 5) there's exactly one book on Leyendecker and it's out of print, could someone please fix that?

the upstairs neighbor kids are racing around and screaming again. Hopefully this is happy screaming, but.
