Star Wars theory;

"Jizz" obviously has Big Band influences but we've only seen small live ensembles - Max Rebo Band, Figrin D'An and the Modal Nodes and two vocalists in Solo.

Based on how big bands gave way to smaller groups in the late 40s, and how the SWverse is less obviously prosperous after the Clone Wars, I'm assuming that before jizz popular music of the Old Republic drew on 30+ musicians.

The best thing about Dune ISN’T “Shakespearean feuding nobles mixed with Arab Revolt and future knife fights is kinda bland without having the key resource be Space LSD synthesized by giant mutant earthworms, plus Space Nuns, Shiite Gnomes, etc.”

The BEST part is how everyone adapting Dune went “this is kinda dull honestly, what it REALLY needs is the longest continuous shot ever/fetuses in a bong sneezing between dimensions/the galaxy’s elite soldiers throat singing during a rainstorm/etc.”

#drawing today. I started with the idea of illithids having veiny heads, and that grew into superscience with a hapless victim to contribute gray matter to the Elder Brain, and obviously my concept of “hapless victim” is a Mitch Byrd styled pretty heavier girl.

Where's George then?

What day is it?

Sitar-day.

Then George'll be 'ere.

and of course putting ON "Revolver" gets me to "Eleanor Rigby."

Woe. Is. Me?

Liverpool can be a lonely place on a Saturday night, and it's only Thursday morning.

went from “when it slows down today, I’ll draw illithids, maybe they have obviously brainy heads and head veins” to “octopus head people ruled by an Elder Brain definitely get theremin music” and I went though part of The Day the Earth Stood Still’s and Mars Attacks’ soundtracks while pencilling.

I actually… don’t dislike how Cybertrucks look, mostly BECAUSE they look like something from a mid 90s Battletech manual. I can easily imagine about 30 of them, with missile launchers, swarming an Atlas. Given what I know about Tesla, this would be 2/3 the normal amount of missiles and firing them would hit the brakes, EXACTLY what you want while attacking an Atlas. I hadn’t considered you’d have to launch the missiles using your phone app, though. NOBODY playing Battletech in the 90s would.

BUTTOCK BRETHREN, 1987, PG, 109 min. Arsch and Loch are twin brothers best known for their series of exercise videos promising glutes like theirs, starring in this fantasy thriller as twin brothers wielding improbably double bitted axes and of course their own tight rear ends to defeat evil sorcery.

One #drawing today!

“Frugal people” well maybe what I want to know about is how FUNGAL people save money?

The down side of finally taking a half edible to sleep; I think I wasn’t sleeping well the last few days and now I’m sober and also wish I could get 2 more hours of sleep!

oh yeah

I think the heat actually WAS getting to me more than I thought because it's NOT just emotional (proteins denature, body uses resources, etc) and because it's constant low-intensity stress, which is going to wear me out.

hence the insomnia and quasi panic attack

"Which did you like better, Jedi or Empire Strikes Back?"
"Empire."
"Blasphemy."
"Empire has a better ending! I mean Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note! That's what life is, a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a buncha muppets!"

I always thought “head honcho” came from a Spanish loanword, and it’s not; Japanese actually “han cho,” squad leader, apparently overheard during WWII to refer to lieutenants.

I really wish my gender and sexuality issues weren’t so completely tied up in all the other abuse issues. I feel like it’ll take 20 years of therapy even vaguely sort this thing out to the point where I decide on HRT and I don’t have that much time.

Today's thought; all abuse tells you the same thing - "you're unimportant and bad, and I can do as I please to you" - but psych abuse only is so subtle you're not even sure it's there, whereas physical abuse works almost opposite. It's so immediate you don't have space to consider there's nastier messages coded in it.

reported the Hillsdale College ads about "needing to say no we're not going to do this [to 'these woke revolutions']" as hate speech. Which won't go anywhere, but fuck rich white supremacists getting in the way of me listening to Donovan.
