the popular misunderstanding that The Offspring wrote a song about trying to find bras that fit, based on the lyrics “you gotta lift and separate ‘em”

Ever since V I’ve had this idea for Indiana Jones VI. It’s now 1980 and a profoundly old Indy is the consultant for this movie Spielberg is making about him in 1936. He keeps grousing about how it didn’t happen that way while Marion tries to get him to take his blood pressure meds. And then something happens. I’m tempted to say a murder, or the Tunisia set winds up hitting actually significant Carthaginian ruins or w/e, but our hero must put on hat and leather jacket yet ANOTHER one last time.

And then with a stirring flash of brass music the movie version of Midway ended! Japan was defeated forever, and the next years of brutal island hopping and a horrifying bombing campaign were basically an afterthought.

Fuck it. ask me anything. If I get too uncomfortable I’ll just ask permission to answer via email or Telegram or something.

do NOT jump on the desk and yell “Run out the guns, Mr. Bellamy, and give them a whiff of grape shot!” even if the office is empty and I am listening to the “Cutthroat Island” soundtrack again. (Couldn’t actually listen to the Hook soundtrack without thinking about how we lost Rob, so I swapped out for a different pirate movie. Tbh I liked Cutthroat more than the PotC movies.)

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.

with a fremen suit in good condition life can be sustained for up to two weeks even in the line for the DMV off Lawrence and Homestead

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!

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.
