“Victims, aren’t we all?”

SOMETIMES IT RAINS INSIDE MY HEAD
TILL THE WORDS RUN DRY
THE WALLS ARE BREATHING HANDS ARE REACHING UP
TO TOUCH MY THIIIGHS
NO THEY DON’T HAVE TO TAKE YOU AWAY

“Whatchoo all painted up for, crackhead? Halloween ain’t till manana!”

Yep it’s Crow-Quoting Season again

oh wow

switching from the Toto "Dune" soundtrack to Cheb Khaled was definitely a good idea

but not as good as switching from Cheb Khaled to Bombino

and it took me this long to discover Terakaft? damn they're good

"Now we are ready for battle!"
"Usul here are fifteen of our finest warriors to serve you as your bodyguard. The Fidaikin."

"Hiero's hit, I'm going in after him!"
"Impetuous boy! Ah well, who wants to live forever anyway. THIRD WAVE, DIIIIIVE!"

oh wait wrong science fiction movie

you have to admit Shaddam IV's golden barge with the rotating gunner's chairs is DEFFO something Ming would have

it's Yueh! He's sabotaged the House generators!

* Atreides techno fades, replaced by the menacing low rumble of Harkonen dubstep *

oh yes I forgot to tell you the Spice is found on only one planet in the known universe. The planet is Arrakis also known as Dune.

la la la la la la la la la
When you're feeling sad and low
We will take you where you gotta go
Smiling gently everything is free
All you need is positivity

the beginning is a very delicate time
know then that it is the year 10191
the known universe is ruled by the padishah emperor shaddam IV my father
in this time the most precious substance in the universe is the spice melange
the spice extends life
the spice expands consciousness
the spice is vital to space travel
the spacing guild and its navigators whom the spice has mutated over 4000 years use the orange spice gas to fold space
that is to travel to any part of the universe without moving

CHRISTMASTIME! Hee hee hee hee!

oh WOW

okay there was this BBC show "Connections" that'd get frequent play on public television so when I was a kid. The episode I remember best "connected" plastic to credit cards as part of credit which connected up to pike squares thence to canned food, refrigeration and air conditioning.

That particular episode made such an impression because a chunk featured reenactors and REALLY sold me on knights, medievalism and D&D and related. I saw that and went WOW I WANT TO BE THAT despite the way the knight meets a bad end. And someone finally posted that clip to YouTube!

But in their rage, the gods forgot the Spam in the frying pan, and those who found it were men. Not gods, not giants, but men.

The secret of Spam has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its mystery meat, Conan. This you can trust.

Are there actually cis men who LIKE being male and actively identify with it rather than it just being another thing they’re stuck with like rent or insurance being shit? Asking for a friend.

The usual; I WANT to go home, sit in the dark online, and see if my debit card is finally here. However I also know that even though I want to far less right now, if I make myself start drawing, it’ll probably help me feel far better.

ME: The Hanging Garden is about losing both biodiversity and animist traditions
ROBERT SMITH: it’s about animals fucking or something innit?

ME: Lullabye is about child sexual abuse
SMITH: my uncle used to tell us stories about a spider man what ate children

ME: A Forest is about werewolves
SMITH: look m8 what’s wrong with you, it’s about being lost in a forest

Subskeet; get a colonoscopy with WHAT MONEY? Even if I HAD insurance my experience is insurers figure out a way to duck out of paying. No, I’m still stuck with my old plan; if I have cancer it’ll metastasize, and finally, FINALLY I’ll get to die.

I should sell my partial suit, preferably to someone with good uncorrected vision or who wears contacts!

My hopes feel less and less achievable and my fears seem closer and closer.
