“Now look at this shit!”

“Those aren’t the lyrics are they?”

“I think it’s ‘stuff.’ I don’t think they let Oscar the Grouch say ‘shit’ on public television. 🎵 I have here a sneaker that’s battered and worn, the soles are all busted, the laces are torn. But I wouldn’t trade them for a big stack of porn! I love it because it’s trash!”

“THOSE AREN’T THE ACTUAL LYRICS!”

I have set a thing in motion and it cannot be undone.

I mean, okay, so also I installed a new app at top speeds on my phone to adapt to having to pull up insurance information, and have driven not one but two entirely new vehicles today, one of which is incredibly unwieldy, and those, too, scared me. I'm not exactly the bravest scrawny nondomestic canine out there.

"What is thy bidding, my master?"
"The son of Skywalker must not be allowed to become a jedaaaaaaaiigh."
"Didn't catch the last word."
"Jedaaaaaaaaaiiiiigh."
"No, I'm sorry. Could you try repeating that in a higher register?"

"My lord. There are so many uncharted settlements, it could be smugglers, it could be..."
"That's the one. And I'm sure Skywalker is with them!"

* whirls quickly*
* BONK *

"General Veers, prepare your men!"
"Ow. Can I have a few minutes, sir?"

*sigh* making comments about "put on the Imperial March and stand at parade rest while looking out the window" was a lot more fun before we had nimrods who actually thought the Empire were the good guys and anything after Ep VI was terrible.

dream last night 

Talking to Val and Kelsey sitting outside a car in good weather, when a train rumbled by and I could just see a really butch turret - like when they made up a T34 to be a Tiger I for The Thin Red Line - over a wall between us and the track. "What's with the tank?" I asked. "Oh. There's a tank museum near here." "Have I been to this tank museum?" "It's the one with all the rusty crap you were into." I remember a big field full of industrial equipment, and resolve to go back.

bible, uspol-adjacent, mostly academic musing 

for some reason I hadn't realized that the idiom "the writing on the wall" refers to chapter 5 from the book of Daniel in the bible biblegateway.com/passage/?sear i.e. god painted graffiti on a wall and it took down a kingdom. someone must have already written an essay or something using this as a metaphor to show how illicit public art (strengthened in this case by its very illegibility!) can be a way of undermining illegitimate authority?

Couldn’t sleep, checked truck availability with Home Depot, drove housemate’s car to Home Depot, turns out Emeryville’s van got rented till 9 or so, Oakland has only flatbed trucks, am waiting at Emeryville and if this doesn’t work will use flatbed. I suck with tie downs. Feel like this is my fault for not moving at 530. One of those I-feel-superhuman-until-I-suddenly-don’t times.

and I packed a batch more boxes, helped troubleshoot my housemate being dehydrated and I'm fuggin' done.

coyote sing along hour, trans related 

keep her down, boilin' water
keep her down, what a lovely daughter
well she is not born like other girls, but I know how to conceive her
well she may not look like other girls, she's a snarl-toothed seether SEETHER!
INSTRUMENTAL!
* rocks out on air guitar *

okay but here's the most Grunge cover ever;

youtu.be/vVBLGgsw2Ao

they successfully made this heteronormative anthem into a song about going to the Federal Way Fred Meyer at 11 PM in a beat up van to buy more cigarettes during a torrential downpour.

only Soundgarden could take this Devo song and make it appropriate for hanging out on a gray day, drinking coffee and reading the Men Seeking Men section of The Stranger

more songs coyote likes;

traditional, The Wind that Shakes the Barley
