Driving a friend's car for the first time after my normal bedtime, after a long day, and in a rainstorm might not be a very big accomplishment, but it feels like something.

Fuuuuuuck, Moonwalker. I’ve only heard about it cause Mike Ploog worked on it and now I’ve seen some of it; it’s not coherent but it is visually incredible.

Wallace and Gromit in Being English is Sort of Shite Really.

Monks devoted to different elemental paths in my D&D games so that one of them can tell the PCs that he is the Air Friar.

“The cheese covers up the spice.” “What is the relationship between the cheese and the spice? The spice is the cheese. The cheese is the spice!”

My friend says she’s a girl but tbh I’m pretty sure her gender is “enthusiasm.” Definitely CHA is 16+ in D&D terms.

«Колос» в Ванкувере? Мой любитный соленье, патрисонный не было, но это отлично! Купилсь Тархун.

Obviously African Americans have representation tied to “how capitalism can use you.” I think that anyone who isn’t very specific WASP faces that sort of representation and invisibility tied to being a convenient resource for capitalism.

Whereas if you’re Asian American you’re perceived as Asian, a first generation immigrant even if you’re incredibly American. There were anti Chinese riots, Chinatowns and the first gong fu school in the USA long before my family showed up! So we’re presented with media in which people are always shown in Asian, rather than American context.

Again, You People get assigned capitalist convenienced “smart person “ roles, just don’t do anything *exotic*.

I feel like ever ethnicity gets their own specific version of the same bullshit.

So being Asian American is sort of the flip side of being Jewish. When you’re Jewish everyone wants you to disappear into whiteness; nobody like you exists, your history doesn’t exist, and you will be made very uncomfortable if you don’t integrate, shut up about antisemitism, etc. but You People need to be assigned roles in capitalism.

soooooo someone reminded me of the Mr. Sparkle episode of The Simpsons. Which stands out to me BECAUSE

years and years ago I was at a birthday party where it was part of a CD they had on as background noise. They had on The Matrix as a background visual thing - with no sound.

I forget all the places that synced up perfectly other than "AWESOMU POWA" during the lobby scene, and a close shot of Lawrence Fishburne grimacing to "All I know is they used my face for their stupid logo!"

I'm eating beets because it's Guy Fawkes', and a movie vaguely about Guy Fawkes had Hugo Weaving, and since he's a Kiwi he undoubtedly likes beets. Therefore I am exhibiting exemplary holiday spirit.

mmmm beets

oh yeah it's the tunnel/980 N onramp theme music!

and how can this be? For he is the kwisatz haderach

... soon Nightmare is forgotten in favor of Juno Reactor.

Whoa!

eating nang myun in early November and listening to The Nightmare Before Christmas because I'm an adult, damnit.

By the way there’s been a LOT more. And one more special message to go, and then I’m done, and I can go home.

Here’s only some of what I received in today. (Photo of a giant volume of ship supplies includes boxes of chemical products I don’t receive in, doesn’t include earlier Amazon/USPS deliveries or any provisions.) So today’s being tougher than even previously anticipated.
