There's an old story about a samurai asking a monk to explain heaven and hell. The monk completely goes to town on this poor putz, yelling at him about how ugly, stupid, unkempt, lazy and... he keeps going right up to when the samurai loses it and goes for his sword, and yells "THAT IS HELL!"

The samurai immediately takes his hand off his hilt, breathes, and the world isn't so utterly terrible anymore, and the monk says "and that's heaven."

I live in this story a lot too often for comfort.

und sie fragen; welchen sollen wir toeten?
und Sie werden mich sagen horen; ALLE!
und wann die Koepfe faellt
sage ich HOOPLA!
und ein Schiff mit 8 Segeln
und mit 50ge Kanone wird beschwindet mit mir

Mandatory safety video for this agency included some of the common OSHA warnings and “Toxic” was inspirational.

The other art thing I did today was I listened to even more of the Beasties and inked, scanned, stitched and did a little bit of editing on some characters I had lying around October's sketchbook. #drawings

Two #drawings today, listening to QotSA, Dead Can Dance and the Beasties

Today I learned the valuable lesson, if I have to ask myself whether it's time for the warmer socks, the answer is YES. I chose them for my walk after all and my toes were STILL cold after the walk back.

#drawing last night, I like some stuff but it doesn’t quite satisfy, gotta think about it some.

so a YouTube short had Enter Sandman, and TECHNICALLY that counts as Metallica enough that I had to roll a character.

As is tradition.

this way, when I bite into the deliciously rehydrated tofu skin roll, it can squirt boiling hot malatang broth RIGHT into my mouth

Then as response to the NYC transition team I said it was great that NYC was transitioning and I was happy for him, someone pointed out, they already swapped names before, and I suggested NYC’s neopronouns were dhey/dem/dose.

Different Belmonts in Castelvania! There’s Simon Belmont, Julius Belmont, but also Leonard and Arthur (originally Adolph) Belmont.

#drawing earlier today

Medieval Scandinavian songs are all like “At dusk she called for Lille Karin but there was no reply, but the Blessed Virgin told her that Lille Karin fell into the bog and drowned and now sits at her side in heaven, all under the lindens.”

okay, so I put up "red" slaw (forget which in a series of now-closed restaurants recipes this was, but it's paprika/ketchup/lemon juice based slaw) and marinated fried tofu for tomorrow's party, to go with the carrot salad I made last night. Really hope all of it's actually *good*.

Tonight’s #drawing

something confirmed today which theoretically was always obvious; if I feel stuck in one place, EVERYTHING FEELS WORSE. I'm half to being triggered already so CPTSD or ADHD symptom, anything that feels sorta upsetting ramps right up to incredibly upsetting.

This oughta be screamingly funny to about two people.
