Anyway. This weekend was the Antiquarian Book Show, so I went early with my Dad. Not entirely selfless since I haven’t been since 2019 and I thought I’d find something fairly recent but affordable. A lot of valuable stuff was in cases; here’s some of what interested me.

hey it's fox weather!

Hallmark movie where a big city girl is called out to a routine excavation around Christmas and Otzi the Iceman melts her heart with the power of love and also h̶̖͎͒̈ͅa̵̢͔͝l̶̛̥͎̙̥̈́̐͘̕ľ̸͜ụ̶̲̈́̍̐c̵͎̤̽ȋ̴̬̃̂n̸̺̗̲̙̪̆̏̐̆͠o̸̟͇̿̇̌͆͠g̸̝̱̯̗̬͐͐̐̏̿ḙ̷̢̡̪̈́̍̌̔n̷͎͛ḯ̴̭͕̂̊͜c̶͖̬̃̆͆̋͛ ̶̲̎m̶̨̗͎̆̽̿̾u̵̥̲̓̂̇͊ͅs̷͉͓͕̘̎̆̃̒̅h̸̙̑̈́r̷̯̓̒͗̅̀o̵͕̹̓ö̵͔͎͇̪̇̊m̷̛̜̠͚̅s̶͔̝͍̤̑̏̆͌

(we've taken a few liberties with Otzi, hope his descendants aren't furious as that's about half of Europe)

Little cartoon partly done during a talk about collecting pulp magazines. I guess this is a little more 50s Men’s magazine than 30s pulp though.

thrown out of the Warhammer store for loudly declaring BANEBLADE LET IT RIP every time I put my tanks on the table

for the longest time I conflated Seth McFarlane with Todd McFarlane and I was very confused

Todd McFarlane’s “American Dad” *draws like a thousand little crosshatchy lines*

Plato’s allegory of the Man Cave in which the inhabitants perceive reality through the filter of a big screen tv watched with cold beer from a huge comfortable couch. In this analogy it is the philosopher who makes the necessary phone call and orders delivery.

SPICY SZECHUAN STORIES, four issues of sizzling woks and hot peppercorns! Though some folks will denigrate these pulps as just tripe.

Starting to feel that all negative emotions are justified in feeling, they’re just less useful to hang onto, and the big difficulty here is that I feel them because I feel threatened, and it’s a lot harder to accept that I’m not especially in conditions which seem so persistent as to seem permanent.

But today, Jen's pipe gives no comfort. For today, Jen's dealing with some really egregious personal crap, not including putting up with how the whole planet's being wrecked by the fucking Skeksis again, or still rather.

Tonight’s #drawing since unsure what posting will look like tomorrow.

so it takes like 45 minutes of servitors hooking you up and chanting while putti flutter overhead to get you INTO Space Marine Armor

is there like a quick release? Like "crap all activators are out down my left side and the place is crawling with elves who make a bloodplay party during Folsom look gentle, I need to get out of this rig NOW?"

necron technology, so ancient that they tap the button twice to activate their jump packs

this went straight through potential jokes about 8 bit tracks to the realization that the "Klingon Battle" in Star Trek the Motion Picture is basically about Klingons unsuccessfully avoiding saving to OneDrive

a right winger is someone who is deeply angry about imaginary problems and wants to turn them into horrifying real world actions, a leftist is someone who's deeply angry about very real problems and wants to turn them into more being deeply angry.

#drawings yesterday. Unsure how drawing might work out later today thanks to adjusting to new glasses plus fatigue.

status update to Project My Eyes and Cheek are Fuxx0red

my eyes, and cheek, are still fuxx0red

Well no ballot again today. I'm pretty certain they have the correct address. I'll call the county people and ask for a replacement ballot tomorrow.

Being an artist is wild because you see all sorts of styles from deceptively simple looking to intricately realistic, and all of them are REALLY good independent of style and reflect careful thought

and then you forget all this while looking at your own stuff and it doesn’t even compare.
