I write, have made movies, and can play music. I prefer teaching piano to playing it for a living, though. Current WIP: The Dragon Racket, an urban caper heist about illegal dragon trafficking..7/8 revised

Milk time
Two cats who normally regard each other with disinterest or mild hostility are forced to drink cat milk from neighbouring bowls because I insist on it. They only get along at these moments

Without downloading new pics, describe your gender with one* image *I clicked the Midsommar image but the post opened with the cat photo as well for some reason and now I can't decide!..
An old now-dead cat of mine, guarding a knife and a Wonder Woman coaster while making a very pronounced Blep at somebody offscreen. I have no idea how this connected itself to the post, I don't remember seeing it when I was searching Girl at the end of Midsommar looking RESPLENDENT at table, FESTOONED with flowers on a chair made of flowers in the beautiful sunlight. Her face is between blank and miserable as sin

I am in fact now reading Amethyst Princess Of Gemworld again, for the first time in 20 years. I've been sick since Thursday and haven't slept properly for 3 nights. Fascinated by this ad for a 1982 Jedi thing where the graphics seem to be Pong with the corners rounded (more info in alt text)
Photo of inside back cover of Amethyst Issue 1. Painting of a reasonably realistic Luke Skywalker dude , logo BECOME A JEDI MASTER WITHOUT EVER LEAVING HOME. He's squatting over an inset of what I assume is the game, it's between his knees for some reason. A pixelated blob with a line is above another pixelated blob with a line and there's a ball or something apparently moving through a bean-shaped space in the middle. It looks as entertaining as scratching your neck

Re-reading Ryu Murakami and my god this book is fucking brilliant. I remembered liking it even more than the movie; well it turns out it's also one of those books that's even better the second time. The exquisitely slow build is like The Stepford Wives or something

I dreamt a short story last night and made the following version of it in Notes the moment I woke up. I don't now know whether it's good or not
At the top of his career, late 20s, Bernie invites a hero to sit beside him in front of a huge audience. He says, "I'm not going to speak to this man.. I'm not gonna bend his ear with clichéd thoughts." Audience member heckles: "That's all right, Bernie, you're still at the beginning!"
Title card: BERNIE. AGED 80
He is toasting a wedding. "At my age, everything is a cliché."

You were kidnapped. The characters of the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who will come to save you? Probably a LOT of collateral damage but I reckon I'll basically be ok, this lot can handle your average kidnappers

I know Mars Attacks is a mean-spirited movie, the director is racist, the actual situation in America is one of actual evil, but still a little imp in my head is doing this with the line "he's demolishing the white house Ahahaa" Sorry
