it's wild how the original version of "Of Wolf and Man" is all Ron Spencer spray of viscera when will you Rage, and the Goodnight Texas cover literally makes me tear up.

* listening to the Van Helsing soundtrack again
* which understandably reminds me of The Mummy Returns soundtrack
* best part of The Mummy Returns is the evil army, watches evil army parts
* suddenly wants smokes, tea, and date mahmoul

But twink death need not be final. Should the twink prepare a phylactery beforehand - for instance a pair of particularly short shorts - upon his 30th birthday he will rise once more as a twink lich, unable to be turned by normal clerics.

where is the horse and the rider?
where is the horn that was blowing?
where is the helm and the hauberk and the bright hair flowing?
they have passed like rain in the mountains
like wind in the meadow.
the days have gone down the west
behind the hills into shadow.

How did it come to this?

another WoD sounding track, to me. A group of Garou (or similar) hunt down and kill something, then perform a ritual in the latter half.

I always thought this sounded like how it feels to finally come out of a major depressive downswing.

The “do not tear up in Safeway because ‘Dreams’ is on the speakers” Challenge

Phone screen done, in person done. Took the opportunity to get to Fuji Bakery, the best sugar doughnuts/malasadas in Seattle (though Donut Factory’s pretty good).

apparently my post-phone-screen-brain goes from "Adam West" to the reggae version of the Batman theme tune and from there to "One Step Beyond." Alternate-Universe-Jon *did* get to grow up in grimy horrible northern England listening to stuff like this or something.

Okay, vivid dreams that were something like a mix of therian meetup with The Northman, so maybe let's *not* listen to Heilung late at night on high-anxiety nights in the future eh?

Need to remember that the big reason to be positive on social media isn’t that I’m a nice person, quite the contrary. It’s that frankly the people I want to respond to in anger are incapable of understanding anything other than violence which sadly cannot be granted them, but if I say something positive to someone, those are people who CAN listen.

it's seeing the aftermath of wildlife hunting contests

it's the same thing as looking at photos of concentration camps and lynchings and the ghost dancers lying in the snow banks. same damn thing. Same damn thought process motivates it.

and I wish there were a way to HURT these creatures RIGHT BACK in any sort of meaningful way that would get them to FUCKING STOP, but there isn't. All you can do is watch the casualties mount up and be glad it's only sometimes it's an Asian or a Black or a Queer or a Jew or a protester instead of dozens of coyotes or whatever

high heeled lady spittin' at the nickerjacks
businessman with a needle an' a spoon
coyote chewin' on a cigarette
pack'a young boys goin' howlin' at the moon
hey darlin'! sleepin' on the blacktop
hey darlin'! runnin' through the trees, honey
hey darlin'! Leavin' for the next town,
less'n mah sense catches up with me

hangman, hangman
hold it a little while
I think I see my dear friends comin'
ridin' many miles
well did you bring me some silver,
did you bring me some gold,
what did you bring me my dear friends
to keep me from the gallus pole?
We didn't bring no silver!
We didn't bring no gold!
don't you know we're too damn poor to keep you from the gallus pole?

Set up another in person interview and an early morning Teams interview.

I came home after today's in person and haven't left home since, but took two naps and a couple of rinse off showers to feel less bad. Listening to Steeleye Span for comfort.

phone screen 2 never bothered calling (checked recents, was right by phone) but I left voice mail for them and responded to their email about how we'd missed each other and would I like to reschedule. I think, with a little wrapping up email, that makes me done for the day.

let me guess, that *is* an actual reference to the SS, and it's just cool with/actively promoted by YouTube.

Given that Zootopia was about “racism is bad,” I figure Zootopia II will be about “homophobia is bad actually”promptly followed by Disney contributing to horrifically homophobic politicians.

This feels more likely than “Judge Judy goes to Brit-Topia,” “Judge Cal takes over the ZPD and deputizes alligators,” or “Judge Judy faces the Dark ZPD.”

The player characters go on the epic journey to the land of the dead to jack their shit, because that’s where the *best* stuff is. The people who are annoyed with them are just like, you know, the gods, the families of the deceased, that sort of thing.
