Underneath the chilly gray November sky,
We can make believe that Kennedy is still alive and
We’re shooting for the moon and smiling Jackie’s driving by and,
They say, good try,
Tomorrow Wendy’s going to die.

So when times get too tough
And your tail is dragging on the ground
And even down looks up
BAD LUCK!
We can show you a good time
And we don’t charge nothing
So shake your nasty stuff
Wiggle in the middle now

Okay, so the conversation wound up on crocodilian penis b/c furries. I had no clue what crocodilian penes are like and found;

Ducks have a similar structure! So I wondered, maybe all archosaur cocks including dinosaurs, work the same way?

I checked and both icthyosaurs and pleiosaurs retain a pelvis. Cetaceans have a similar muscular action/anchor thing going on, but otters and seals have erectile cocks so I don't think it's just an aquatic adaptation.

All the while listening to appropriately inspiring music like, uh... Green Day’s “Dookie” album?

What I hope to do with these angel illustrations for a customer is to go as full-on Kirby as my style cobbled together from Guiton/Wendling/Reynolds/Ploog/etc will possibly allow.

BIG MOOD in other news Ahmed Aldoori is a way better artist than me and I’m envious.

And while I was attempting to find The Goddamn Gallows’ song “Y’all Motherfuckers Need Jesus,” for Ellen, I checked to see if they’re ok (these days I’m paranoid that any group I like could be right wing shit, being a fan of Viking metal does not help with this)

AND ran into an anecdote about their washboard player stripping and miming sex with a raccoon plushie found in a New Orleans venue during a concert. So they’re probably not right wingers...

I’m seriously about to fall over at work, I need a nap. As soon as I get out of here I might be okay. Just leave and go home and fap furiously about my kinks

AND THAT REMINDS ME despite the vague resemblance to an anthro-orca for some reason Venom does exactly nothing for me.

It’s like driving around in a car with a broken oil light. Initially you’re freaked out all the time by how you’re haemorrhaging oil and the car’s about to break down disastrously. Later as your perspective widens, you can remember the oil light’s broken. And this is not easy but feasible to remember on a nice day driving in the suburbs, but how about when you’re in rural Oregon, at night, in near freezing weather?

So there’s cowgirl position and reverse cowgirl. Does that mean there’s a second cowgirl position which works better on hills?

The part I don’t get, if my background *is* similar, is the incel thing. I came out of Georgia thinking my failure to be some major stud getting laid all the time, was due to me being an utterly terrible piece of shit with nothing to offer.

Are these kids running around fronting for Queerness and/or really poor self esteem? Because even if so, how do you get from shitty indoctrination like mine, to a place where you’re murderously angry at an entire gender because they ain’t fucking you?

Okay; so I come from a background which seems similar to a lot of the right wing kids (feeling told other people are more special than you, sex presented as a dumb competition, brutal public schools, no future, whitewashed history and institutional bigotry etc). I’m still not sure how I went a different direction; generation and internet access? Leaving the state? At some level always being aware I was marginalized and this was bullshit? There’s gotta be something useful to hand these kids.

Oh geez and ANOTHER thing that bugs me! You see these elite red-cloaked pike-wielding guards and they’re awesome, and then they DO BUGGER ALL. That fight in Last Jedi finally, finally does what the Imperial Guards should have done in Jedi, be a challenge for someone as badass as we’ve seen Luke become!

*Without* getting to see the Galactic Core rather. Imho Jedi would have been infinitely better if it’d had that Ralph McQuarry evil temple thing instead of just more Death Star with a really nice chair.

we find out Leia’s also a Skywalker and a potent Force user for good or evil... and it goes nowhere. She doesn’t rescue Luke or become his successor when he falls, like in the Dark Empire comics. The most compelling plot thing is Palpatine (and he rocks! Ian McDiarmid is one of the best things in the movie even within getting to see the galactic core!) offering a Faustian bargain, but it’s not a presented as a really juicy one.

So yeah, it really tanks by comparison.

And Empire isn’t just visually nothing we’d seen before but offers a rich story. We find out more about the Force, travel in this universe, what people do when they’re not in a revolt, and the main characters make giant choices.

And then Jedi rolls round and... the newest visuals are what, the sail barge, some Rebel ships, the bike chase. Endor would blow you away if they showed half the Dark Crystal looking stuff they concepted. The story is pretty bland too;

Okay so 1976 rolls around and here’s Star Wars. A lived-in universe with planet destroyers and dirt farmers, and nowhere near Earth. It’s not a hugely groundbreaking story (it has some really nice character writing!), but it doesn’t have to be, it’s huge, it’s nothing we’ve seen. How do you make a sequel to that?

1980 gives us bounty hunters, probots, a Cloud City, the Imperial fleet, walkers, that awesome Rebel hanger which is an exercise in where to place gunk. =>

The list of things I want ranges between wanting specific compliments, wanting to [kink redacted], wanting to hang out in a hot tub or go hiking, go to Powell's (this is REALLY not possible), and wanting to work on art for myself or customers (I really feel my painting needs work I haven't/haven't been able to put in).

"wanting to ride a crowded bus in to an open office setting to work" is pretty much bottom of the list. I have only 1+ week more there but still want to skip, today.

And I don't really want to sleep, but I'm dead tired. There'll be time to draw more tomorrow.
