Jaws also gets stupidly personal with me. It was on TV a LOT when I was a teenager, and the nerd character is not just the bravest of the three men, but also physically competent (something school was continually telling me I couldn’t be, and my family was telling me didn’t matter; this gets into how I’m actually kind of a jock and this was completely unacknowledged in my childhood).

I mean, who puts a really bright brass piece… about stereotypical tourists showing up in Cape Cod… and it’s part of a horror movie, which also is a retelling of Moby Dick? Jaws doesn’t get credit for being this brilliant.

ADHD theater: wanted to listen to the Raiders of the Lost Ark soundtrack, wait actually naw I want to listen to Jaws ‘cause it’s about the beach and the ocean, no wait that reminds me of “Eggman,” let’s play that.

It's never been this easy to be a radical leftist. When I was a kid, you had to protest an imperialistic war, be openly Queer in an obviously homophobic society, etc etc. These days wanting to survive in the high standard of living we enjoyed 8 years ago makes you an extremist.

Somehow the little firefox pocket thing showing me that really sadistic article about restarting loans, near an article about how great it is to take sleeper cars, really set off all the bitterness about how I want to travel and learn languages and martial arts, and go to cons and restart hobbies, but it's my glorious destiny to make money for my landlords in what's obviously an elistist society.

And I'd been doing pretty okay about all the emotional stuff involving regrets and fear for a while. Idk.

"how relaunching student loans could restart the economy" holy shit, how fucking callous and cruel can you possibly get, it's like saying how much sweeping homeless encampments or lack of rent control is vital to keep the economy going.

I think I need to be okay with bigger sharp edges and contrasts in coloring when I get back into coloring.

Also apparently, I really want [kink] which isn't about to happen.

Usually I'm too kicked in from winter to notice it's suddenly spring, and in this case, because that chunk of this difficult year was unusually difficult, so it's kinda nice being all happy about fall *and* getting to see at least one Aussie stoked about it being spring.

ROBERT PLANT: in the darkest depths of Mordor I met a girl so fair, but Gollum! and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her!

ARAGORN, SON OF ARATHORN: Do not say that word so loudly here.

ME: Gollum gets all the girls. It's gotta be the big eyes and the willingness to spring for sushi.

I got a couple of really good heron photos while at the beach!

I OVERSTAYED MY WELCOME
IN THE FIRST DEGREE
IT'S HALF PAST TEN NOW
AND I GOT HERE 10:03!
I RAN OUT TO MY STALLION
VOLUNTARILY
THEY BID ME FAREWELL NOW
... WITH THE INFANTRY!

Whoa, the way the smooth, dark, reflective round thing just vanished beneath the waves and hasn’t surfaced since just answered my “seal or log” question for me. Oh yeah also I’m hanging around the beach reading comics after work for a bit, if you were wondering.

Listening to the Ep IV soundtrack this morning. Something that got me even as a kid is the sequence where the stormtroopers know they’re searching for droids thanks to one soldier finding this substantial looking chunk of C-3PO.

Ironically the lyrics to “Alech Taadi” match the idea of Dallas being completely smitten by Leeloo, and YET thanks to that scene/movie, I associate the song with bad driving.

If you had a tacosona, would you post your tortilla suit for BOTH Taco Tuesday and Fursuit Friday?

I hate how this EATS spoons. And it always fucking happens because invariably I make mistakes though I’m unsure how much is unclear direction vs my inability to focus on tasks (which might be different from being a stupid inept moron who invariably fucks up)

It would really be useful if my reaction to any adult questioning my past actions wasn’t heart in my mouth bracing to get some huge harangue about how I’m stupid, not detail oriented or how I fuck everything up. Possibly with getting kicked out, thanks to prior employers.
