oh NO

my introduction to Ethiopian funk/jazz was through restaurants

so now I'm listening to this completely masterful stuff and all I can think about is how much I want to stuff dulet in my face

another day, another same old feelings that there's just no chance to salvage any of this and I should probably drive out into the mountains and stick a knife in my throat. Let's have some tea and put on some music.

primitive as it may seem, yelling "hejsan! Aeothwere's gonna sing about Beowulf again!" was once the primary way of enticing people to see movies

I'd wondered whether Ursula from Little Mermaid had extra little nerve clusters at the root of her tentacles and maybe that's why she was really good at magic or something like that.

Just as ev'ry autumn leaves fall from the tree
tumble to the ground and diiiiiiieeeee
so in the springtime like sweet memory
they will return as will I

I woke up with my feet nailed down
and my head movin' the speed of sound
had a dream I was caught in a maze
and I couldn't find a way back out
some were born to move mountains around
and some to rot away in jail
I get an itch, and when I am scratching
ev'rything can go to hell

and how far is halfway there?
I didn't see you on the trail
I've almost become good enough
should the good life be so hard won?
is that what our dreams have become?

sometimes, if you shoot an arrow
it can fly across the sky so proud
I would go all the way to the sun
if I didn't have to come back down

and how far is halfway there?
I didn't see you on the trail
I've almost become good enough
should the good life be so hard won?
is that what our dreams have become?

if you've got a car and somewhere to sleep
someone who loves you
something to eat
I would say you're doin' better than most
but maybe not as good as some

and how far is halfway there?
I didn't see you on the trail
I've almost become good enough
should the good life be so hard won?
is that what our dreams have become?
awoooooo

I really wish we weren't in the era of unavoidable-ads-because-selling-ad-free-YT-is-the-hustle. I don't want to buy ad free YT, but these really do a great job of convincing me that humanity as a whole is grasping, vacant and deserves extinction, which are not thoughts I generally like.

ADHD Awareness month ends late in the year long after it's stopped being at all interesting or useful but for whatever fucking reason other people need it to be an entire month.

I think it's great that Autism Awareness Month starts basically with Trans Day of Visibility though I'm curious now whether ADHD Awareness Month is the first two weeks of January, three days in April, an entire extra week sometime in late May when we really get back into it, and then finally four more days in August to try and push through it.

(yes, I know it's officially October)

dear Amica, you can cut it out with this WE'RE SO COMPASSIONATE bullshit, I know damn well that as insurers, you're slightly more compassionate and about as profit motivated as fucking Exxon.

"checkitout I'm a liar too"
"shut up Beavis, you're not HALF as good a liar as this guy"
"yeah yeah yeah lies, LIES!"

skin the sun
fall asleep
wish away
soul is cheap
listen well
wish me luck
soothe the burn
wake me up

I'm not like them but I can pretend
the sun is gone but I have a light

I'm worried I fucked up

but then, everything makes me worry I fucked up

creatures kissing in the rain
shapeless in the dark again
in the hanging garden change the past
in the hanging garden wearing furs and masks

fall fall fall fall into the walls
jump jump out of time

fall fall fall fall out of the sky
cover my face as the animals die.

Thinking of drawing D&D characters inspired by old “three stage” minis from the 80s.

Possibles are;

* elf fighter-mage
* halfling or gnome wizard
* lycanthrope blooded barbarian
* dwarf druid
* halfling or kobold wizard-thief
* half ghoul
* gnoll ranger
* human spellcaster

Which sound most fun?

HEY MISTER TAMBOURINE MAN PLAY A SONG FOR ME
I’M NOT SLEEPY YET THERE AIN’T NO PLACE I’M GOING TO
AND THIS ESPRESSO MAKER IS AWESOME

okay, so I have not received a link or anything for an interview I'm supposed to have at 1. This was (I'm pretty sure) an offshore recruiter and I usually assume THEY're trying to make some metric about contact rather than actually following through with anything about actually GETTING a job though.

job hunting or;

1) focus on something completely uninteresting with a largely uncompelling payoff,

2) present yourself confidently at a time when your confidence is shot, and

3) dismiss as simply routine collateral your feelings of self-doubt, hopelessness and foreshortened future that set off straight up suicidal thoughts.
