the alternate universe in which Cap'n Crunch, made bitter by the loss of his leg and his breakfast, becomes yet another cereal mascot bent on stopping those kids from taking his cereal

aye, aye, and I'll chase them round Good Hope and round the Horn and round the Norway Maelstrom and round perdition's flames before I give them up! ARRRR!

somehow I got from "Choose Your Own CRUNCHVENTURE™️" through discussing that Horatio Crunch must've been breveted for a few years to singing along with "Hanging Johnny"

arrrr

ARRRR

ad: choose your own Crunchventure!

me: Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no stoner look to the pantry with hope! Let this day be cursed by we who prepare to wake... THE CRUNCHBERRIES!

* Hans Zimmer music goes nuts *

at least I've checked on a Zoomer I truly care about, so I can maybe feel *a little less* like I'd be a total failure as a parent. I'd fallen out of touch during the latest iteration of my life exploding, but was thinking about them all yesterday thanks to the holiday. They're good kids.

“This would kill a Victorian child”

MEANWHILE
IN BLACKFRIARS
IN 1879

“Try a steak and kidney pie, guv’nor? This’d kill a Georgian or Regency child, it would!”
*sniffles*
*wipes nose on sleeve*

Take a little walk to the edge of town you go across the track
Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom as it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
You’ll never know you aren’t coming back
You put de lime in de coconut and mix them both together
You put de lime in de coconut then you feel better

one two three fo
Spider-Man, Spider-Man,
Does whatever a spider can
Calls the doctor, what’s he take?
To relieve this bellyache
Look out here, here comes the Spider-Man!

Brother brought a coconut he bought it for a dime
Sister brought another one she paid for de lime
Help me, I broke apart my insides
Help me I’ve got no soul to sell
Help me you make me perfect
Help me think I’m somebody else
You put de lime in de coconut and drink them all up

The realization you can easily filk “The 59th St. Bridge Song” to be about “send a dick pic”

To be fair, I probably didn’t realize this earlier because you can also filk the song to be about “shift to Crinos.”

#drawings from Friday through today. It’s been a hectic distracted sort of weekend.

HOT TAKE (again): The Doors' song which is most appropriate for Santa Cruz is actually NOT "People are Strange" but "Waiting for the Sun"

do NOT cry during the theme song do NOT cry during the theme song do NOT

and done with that bit of cleaning, this would have been easier if someone - and they might be someones probably about to not refund my security deposit because of cleaning costs - had installed something nicer than the cheapest ass grade of broken levelor blinds.

tune in when we ask the question; will the Jurassic Park The Lost World soundtrack help Jon do some cleaning and possibly more packing for the move? OR will it just make them sad about how the late 90s felt like there was a lot of hope and potential which now seems well beyond the horizon?

Today my mood seems to alternate between “feeling good that I’ve made progress on moving, on art, and on personal issues” versus “I am overwhelmed and am going to collapse in a pile of old White Wolf books sobbing I MISS THE 90S.”

okay, I packed a blender and took down the blackout curtains so I can clean the blinds/around the windows. Hopefully I will still be able to sleep tonight.

I also ate leftovers from cooking Wednesday instead of spending money eating out, woo responsible.

"celebrating the fourth edition of Age of Ligma!"
"you mean Age of Sigmar?"

seriously, outside of the obvious complaints, "make art more widely accessible" is a GREAT goal from a non profit, and coming from anyone selling a product, for any reason, it's suspect.

How did I just know the Microsoft article about "art should be accessible to all" was going to be about AI rather than say, anything that would get poor and especially Black kids access to museums or art instruction?
