crap this album's like if The Hobbit was actually about hanging out at Beorn's place, which makes plot-driven sense for JRRT to sort of downplay, but still that must've been awesome. I actually think Beorn's farm must've been more comfortable than Rivendell.

"Am I always this funny?" unfortunately followed by "uh oh, am I always that much of a self centered egomaniac - oh no, I'm probably having terrible boundaries and really harming people, I SUCK!"

you know, that's funny because depressive self-loathing is funny eh? Maybe I should rethink that one.

"and now that the barbarians are at the gates and the world's afire, you expect me to come to your aid"

WHAM!

"NO. I EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHILE YOU WERE STUDYING THE BLADE I WAS STUDYING THE TETSUBO"

there ya go, mute the sound on the second video

now I am imagining that for organ bits in this Yes track, they had THE ABOMINABLE DOCTOR PHIBES rise from the floor while playing

really, you can make any track with organ way better by imagining the abominable Dr. Phibes riding an organ up from the floor. Try it next time you listen to The Doors.

crap, I forgot the "giggle about it" component.

This has been a spectacularly long five minutes or so, but to be fair I'm listening to "Yes." Very heavy dose of Yes edible, it's got like 20 mg of Roger Dean

tired: I'm going to have a half-edible and listen to "Yes"

wired: I'm going to have a half-edible, listen to "Yes," and wave my hands in the air to "Close to the Edge" wooo

inspired: half-edible, "Yes," wave, "Close to the Edge," wooo, *and* the entire Internet needs to know about this.

oh RIGHT I ran into this and it was too cute for words

check this out, "Harlequin rabbits" are actual animals and not from an awesome furry take on 40K

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlequin_rabbit

look at these guys, they look so SOFT! I really hope they're good natured, I know exactly nothing about pet rabbits but it'd be a shame if they weren't gentle and nice.

If 'disco' places time squarely in the 70s, then the 'inferno' is presumably for lighting cigarettes. They're actually singing about chainsmoking.

holy shit this is a surprisingly listenable instrumental

it's wild how zweihander looks like polearm more than sword use. Wonder if that was sword technique diverging as some evolution of longsword?

naginata/nagimasa might wind up equivalent to zweihander, a long blade for big sweeping circular movements that you can shorten through your grip in a pinch - something in between halberd/yari and sword (especially because katana are shorter weapons). Now I'm wondering if no-dachi were way more swordsmith bragging rights to show up as often.

Woke up with acid reflux and slightly anxious and thought; you know, it's been a while and I'd been thinking about it for a while, might it be worthwhile to have a half edible as a way of tackling consistent but low anxiety? That seems to have been around a lot the last week or so.

So waiting for that to kick in.

so I already had the blinds open to watch the rain and lightning, and I'd just turned the lights off when I realized this was PERFECT to sit in my chair and play

oh yeaaaaaaaah

Whoa, this rainstorm skipped straight from "Bladerunner" to "Das Boot."

Song lyrics similar to “I need you like the desert needs rain”…

But a desert only needs occasional rain! Everything living there has adapted to the aridity! Rains are destructive, causing flooding that takes out the topsoil!

The latest bathroom reading is October '84's Dragon Magazine, in which the PCs can go visit Gladsheim, home of the Norse gods (and a few others apparently PCs don't want to visit like uh... Bast?), so here's a list of spells which won't work and penalized class abilities (also, you probably can't get anywhere by climbing Yggdrassil).

Old AD&D was full of stuff this offputting like class requirements and I'm having a "how did this get off the ground without being heavily house ruled?" moment.

aww man there actually WAS a Vincent Price episode of The Muppet Show and I never saw it? I would have been so completely in love with that as a kid.

doughnuts would work too because as toroids they are a cross section of cylinder, but you'd really need to eat several of them for it to truly count as "cylindrical food"

I could really go for a huge gyro or a big falafel sandwich preferably with babaganouj, or a burrito. some form of cylindrical food.

apparently tonight's being a broken/weird sleep night but it's actually on a weekend and when I haven't committed to doing anything, for a changev
