the toy was marketed in the USA as Kill Me Now Smurf

Clackamas, named after where miners would go to amass clack. Or more accurately KLAX, because this was back in the 90s, when there was time for Klax.

the realization that my mother's birthday is next weekend and I therefore have to lose another half-weekend being a Good Kid. This really drives home the need to take a day off for mental health next week as I literally can't do so this week.

when you think about Harry Potter it's weird how it's such a thing now; it's equivalent to if Lloyd Alexander's Prydain series were still being really hyped up in the 2000s, and also Alexander had decided to be a raging bigot.

translating Kojo no Tsuki into Yiddish and trying to pass it off as an old folksong "Sheint der Mesyets"

similarly translating "Beltz" to Japanese so it's a story about how the wind now blows through the torn shoji and broken walls of the narrator's minka where as a child he was so very happy

with around 90 minutes, I unpacked groceries, put beef into two different marinades, made sigumchi namul, breaded baked pork chops, and a lot of pad si ew with tofu for lunch

oh NOOOOO it's the part of Labyrinth where she eats a poisoned peach and hallucinates so badly she thinks she's in the music video for Anne Lennox's "Walking on Broken Glass"

Labyrinth/Dune fanfic in which young Alia Atreides, tired of caring for her baby brother Paul, travels deep into the labyrinth to face the evil Feyd-Rautha Harkonen, but she has only 13 hours before he gets his heartplug inserted and becomes a Harkonen *forever*.

current bathroom reading are Osprey books about Operation Dragoon and Allison engine Mustangs and the latter is so completely incandescent in its praise I suspect the author is dating a P-51a/P-51b

the Denis Villeneuve version of “Up in Smoke,” so much truer to the source material than the 1978 version

Posting tonight’s #drawing now, to feel better.
