Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Hey. Had a rough day, feeling down on myself. Earnestly want to snap myself out of it.

Could kinda use a musical Experience with a capital E. Something like Boards of Canada's Geogaddi or The Caretaker's Everywhere at the End of Time.

Something intense and a little magical, maybe a little (or a lot) difficult, even something more than a little disturbing.

Melancholy is good. Even depressing is good. Horrific is bad. Angry is bad. Hopeless is bad. Creepy is very, very, very good. Not creepy is also OK I guess. :)

Concept album, probably, is most likely to do the trick.

Thank you as always for your assistance in this experiment. <3

With your assistance, we can perfect the safe, speedy, and effective mental unclogging of tigers in our lifetime. (And make me less of a grumpy P.I.T.A. for @anthracite to have to deal with. <3 )

@Austin_Dern "Oh, you've got a film now! That's just great! How exciting that must be for you!" 🐯​🐯​🐯​🐯​

@Leucrotta Let's hope they have a good sense of humor...

@001zlnv Ghlacfadh. Real Irish word. Nuff said. ​

@001zlnv And French orthography doesn't scare me.

*grabs you by the shoulders, looking wild-eyed, sweat rolling down her forehead even though tigers don't even sweat*

Because I've seen Gaelic. 🙀​​

@001zlnv Nope, more like "Spanish teacher is a wizened old nutcase and French teacher spends most of class hitting on the football team which makes me uncomfortable, and if I take German at the local community college I can get the fuck away from my dumbass peers for another hour a day." :O

I mean... cripes, how long have you known me?

I LOVE silent letters. ;|

@001zlnv I took a year of German in high school too! *hoch fünf*

Huh. TIL that apparently a "Drogerie" (drug store) is not the same as an "Apotheke" (pharmacy) in Germany, and a Drogerie does not actually sell any drugs or medications. Just, like, toiletries and stuff.

@chimerror @typhlosion "водка хорошая, но мясо протухло!"

@typhlosion Welcome to my workday, every single day. :D If I worked in a physical office, there would be a huge glittery banner reading "NEVER TRUST GOOGLE APPS" over my cubicle and I would keep a long wooden rod under my desk, with a hand carved on one end purely to point at the banner.

@xinjinmeng @anthracite I am genuinely impressed. It took me the better part of 40 years to learn how to swallow that sort of sentiment (as you've all witnessed first-hand 😊​).

"I'm not saying another word until I see my butt lawyer."

@001zlnv yes. on the presumption that peg would find any sbemail reference insulting, whereas she actually likes spyro-- at least it wasn't the s is for sucks dragon!

(a) the samples are all tangerine dream and vangelis

(b) it proceeds in reverse from fragmented nonsense to clear audio

(c) instead of being a metaphor for alzheimers it's your last six hours of human consciousness before drone assimilation

Peebles and I have been playing complex games of psychological manipulation with each other for the last hour.

I think she might be winning, but the jokes on her. I found... THE TREATS. And I'm willing to use them.

Tonight's food order, even though I'm baked off my ass, is an apple and jicama salad, a butternut squash pizza, and vegetable hash.

I hate the virtuous life. I'm eating a fucking lasagna tomorrow.

(Actually, I'm really looking forward to this dinner. n.n )

@Soreth They WERE nice hats.
