okay made the difficult call because I had 30 minutes more leeway than originally thought.

prospective employer now knows Saturday hours are the sticking point because I head up to Snohomish to help my folks. He is going to talk with his wife, who's the accounting/payroll person, and get back to me later today or tomorrow.

Fucking scary man.

i've just been informed that "hazing coyotes" does not actually involve giving them Coors, Milwaukee's Best, or whatever else you have cheap and available then chanting CHUG CHUG CHUG while they drink the stuff

once again wrenching off my glasses and going to one knee at the appropriate part of the X-Men theme fails to unleash a devastating optic blast, even while squinting

shitty future we've got.

okay, I went through email, applied for ten jobs, did some research for the two interviews I have tomorrow, am waiting for my only interview today, still need to do the really *difficult* phone call, procrastinated by cooking and eating lunch. Successfully did not break into tears listening to Thelonious Monk's take on "I'm Confessin' that I Love You."

* Morpheus hides pills quickly *

"Take the uh... right hand piece of delicious, salty cheese, and you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. Take the left hand piece of um, delicious salty cheese, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

LATER IN THE MOVIE

"Nobody makes it on the first jump."
"Yeah, but what if he does?"

* Neo takes one look at the yawning abyss, sits down, and starts chewing on his own toes *

damn, my 10 AM video interview canceled because they decided to take someone else. Tell me I don't have big gaping holes in my self esteem without saying "you have big gaping holes in your self esteem."

I have to hold onto belief that I can get something better than the last gig, and not get scared by people seriously yanking my chain like this.

vaguely remember this nightmare being about having to load and unload vans with no help somehow tangential to a dead body which my management had decided I *had* to speak to, and the very Mignola this-corpse-is-speaking part was the thing that freaked me into waking up. Feh.

I've discovered the quick way to throw yourself completely out of wanting to play D&D!

Listening to Peturbator ought to have you wanting to play Shadowrun instead in no time, chummer!

the point at which reading about Norse mythology turns into either quoting the Havamal, or singing parts of "What's Opera Doc?"

Oh no I was looking through 4e splatbooks for drawing inspiration and even though 4e didn’t really feel like D&D and it had some problems, now I kinda want to play 4e again.

Listening to the Boot to the Head sketch and Mortal Kombat while reading the 4e monk entries.

Many apologies, but I feel Ed Gruberman is not fully wrong. I, too, wish to boot some head.

So “Ill Communication” came out in ‘94 and I think I need a moment here.

Tangential; why hasn’t Marvel done a more PoC Fantastic Four if they’re gonna diversify heroes? “Brilliant sister keeping an eye on dumbass younger brother” is such a Latina stereotype, I can see Reed as a Black dude, and Ben? If you’re going for short tempered blue collar from stereotyped-intellectual ethnicity, Chinese-American fits as well as Ashkenazic.

have you ever considered that Klingon bull dykes are probably slender, prettied up and soft spoken because that's basically saying you're badass enough to back it up?

this thought thanks to Goldsmith's "Klingon Battle."

the logical follow up to Deodato's "Also Sprach Zarathustra"

MECO - MUSIC FROM THE BLACK HOLE - 1980. https://youtu.be/WmV0v84KNrU via @YouTube

quickly followed up by the theme song to "Shaft in Low Geosynchronous Orbit."

well, I guess it's time for the Gigantic Cock in Furry Artwork theme song again.

ooh check this out

oh COME ON randomly selected shit-ya-like playlist please do NOT throw out Billy Joel's "Lullabye" at me today, I can't deal with it on a good day even, I can't fucking hear the first few bars without tearing up, shit.

I really REALLY need to eat a ginormous edible and remember that reality is crumbling inwards a *lot* less than it feels like.

I went from bleary not really awake to wanting to cry and curl up somewhere hard to find. This isn't so good.
