so I was able to reschedule my first interview from this morning, and completed that a while ago. So two interviews today, and I am now so fucking done.

Sometimes my ceiling/upstairs neighbors' floor squeaks frantically in ways which WOULD imply frantic sex - except if that's what it is, they hump in complete silence otherwise, and doesn't explain how frequently there are loud THUMPs afterwards, like they've moved on to practicing aikido. I *think* this might be a workout which mixes some sort of exercise machine and free weights but I'm not sure.

Okay so the giant CD player at the Quizno's where I worked in the 90s could be set to randomize tracks from as many as 20 discs. Employees were invited to bring their own CDs, especially if work-safe enough to share during work hours, and naturally I brought "Apollo 18." Wholesome!

"Fingertips" is actually broken up on the CD into each of its little fragments, which meant we'd get a tiny piece of Fingertips - eg "LEAVE me alone, leave me alone" - and then swap to a completely different track.

Shaft's Cane Sword

Shaft Goes to the Fire Festival

Shaft Meets Yojimbo

just everything came together in just the wrong way - job hunt, interviews that came through, an interview which ghosted me, stuff I need to do for my parents, other folks' terrible news - and I now have like NO energy and less motivation.

the muppet romance of three kingdoms

the muppet journey to the west

so that was the entire Clash of the Titans soundtrack and I'm now sad that 1) I'm old 2) Perseus, Andromeda and everyone else involved got old and died 3) stop motion film making died and I don't get to do that instead of day jobs

perhaps it is time to wrap up job hunting stuff and go eat something

important new phrase for the day

xinla shiwu

"wo ai xinla shiwu"

I was going to make another "Clash of the Titans" soundtrack post here but then realized I should probably caveat that there are other things I think about the last three plus eventful millenia of Greek history, culture and myth than just stuff I would like to eat

that said, loukomades

LONG AGO

IN A DISTANT REALM OF CHEAP PLENTIFUL MEZEDES AND OUZO

the Matrix trilogy only Neo's basically like a pokemon, in the first movie the only thing he says is WHOA but by Matrix Reloaded the only thing he says is THE ONE

someone outside keeps blowing a whistle and it's really messing with me listening to Ozomatli

I forgot the 4e player’s handbook 2 has THREE different nature related classes and Vincent Dutrait interior artwork, so that’s fucking badass.

Oh no

I figured I’d look at my old 4e books to look at the art but I keep reading the RULES and uhhh I know you’re supposed to hate it but it’s a really cool game and I want to run it

D&D thought; red/gold descent dragonborn bard specialized in flute. They’ve learned fine control of their breath weapon enough to warm a flute enough to expand the metal slightly and drop the pitch 1-2 octaves during a performance.

there's this dude who paints GW miniatures based off pride flags, which pisses off the IMPERIUM ARE HEROES AND ONLY MEN ARE ASTARTES types and he gets these really bright clean colors

but I disagree with applying the trans colors to male presenting Chaos marines. I think if any 40K army gets trans masc coding it should be Orks, not because they themselves are trans but because they're fungi, so at some point in the past some trans dude thought that was ultra-super-interesting.

okay, I put in for some Indeed jobs, a thing I found out about through email, and anything new for three different agencies, I no longer feel so much unhappy as low energy, I'm gonna go home, eat the remaining black beans and sausage and sleep.

oh hey, it's the Juno Reactor track that plays when Neo fights that dude
