I had no idea about any of this and now I have to live with the knowledge that somehow that one shot from Inland Empire is just walking around in our world complaining about stuff

Perfect, for right now. Something in the glass, whether fogged out or humid, gives a living element, a sense of how you’d breathe it, or feel it on your skin, being there, regardless of if it’s chilly or sweltering, it communicates both somehow.

Pretty Hate Machine is silly. I’ve tried so hard to appreciate it, but. C’mon. Artifact of its time, sure. I don’t know. Guess I’m spoiled.

Our cats get such weird expressions when they see one of us petting the other cat. It’s like some kind of Uncanny Valley thing for them.

In the field I’m in it can’t really be that, just vague, sales-related opportunities. Nevertheless, it gives me a Kids-In-The-Hall-esque image of some execs with harpoons standing on a great floating corpse, hooting unpleasantly

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a chimpanzee in an enclosure is sitting on the ground and painting abstract streaks of color on a canvas lying in the grass. Panel 2: a couple is standing outside the enclosure, looking in. The girl says about the painting chimpanzee, “aww, that’s cute.” Panel 3: the chimpanzee is alone in his dimly lit studio, head in hands, holding a lit cigarette. He looks completely dejected, feeling misunderstood. There is a pair of glasses, a glass of whisky, crumpled paper, and an unfinished painting laid out on the desk in front of him. The walls and floor space of his studio are covered in his abstract paintings on canvases and paper. There is also a marble sculpture of a banana beside him.

…I think I’m kinda done with businesses referring to opportunities as ‘whales’ because it really sounds like pining for the days of whale slaughter and how that suggests how they want to achieve their goals

Shit, you ever wonder how your ‘life’ appears online based solely off the pieces you share? I have no idea how I appear but I can assure you at least 75% of the behind the scenes stuff is held together by not much more than caffeine, postponed chores, and time crunch.

Her: So the Power Inverter is coming today Me: Uh, hon? I have no idea what that means, how much does this power inverter weigh? Her: 175 pounds Me: Okay how about I get out all the boards and concrete blocks in the way of the garage door so we don’t die moving it when it comes

New shirt arrived from Esoterica, a favorite youtube channel for abundant cross sections of historical development related to, well, esoterica (alchemy, magic, etc)
Shirt featuring Thoth from the youtube channel Esoterica, a longtime favorite of mine.  Also framing the jacket are visible enamel pins featuring Twin Peaks’ Phillip Jeffries, Carpenter Brut, and the Dagger and Starry Expanse from Riven

Anyway, before I lose the tail of the comet threading all this in this moment, I just wanted to say something about that. And also, if you struggle to be hopeful, it’s probably a good sign you should consider being daring instead. At least, that’s what I’ve decided for myself, hand at the tiller

Which is not to say there is no learning to do. Life is about learning. Learning is the lifeblood of our destinies, of what we can be and understand to become, and why.

We’re cooked. Whatever we think collectively about things, we are so off. There’s so goddamn much going on we don’t even understand the hierarchy of the food chain competing to devour our dreams and futures. We can’t understand it. The grand design is changing faster than we can take it in.

I don’t even want to enumerate the number of things I’m trying very hard and failing at while accidentally pulling off things I never intended or expected of myself. But they are many.

My intention is not to spread despair. It’s more about the agony of clinging to things that perhaps never were really much all that there to begin with. Images of ourselves, ideas of things, expectations and achievements.

My head feels like a big complicated colander, always running lots of routines throughout about a lot of things that are both unpleasant and unavoidable, and it’s not like I don’t have much more life-affirming stuff I’d prefer to be able to spend more of my brainpower on

This is probably going to come off unhelpfully cryptic, but I’ve been powering through a thing, well, most of us have been powering through a lot, and not exactly having a great time of it but we hold on, you know?

Got grossed out this morning that a protein bar I like uses a ‘propoxylated’ process, which basically means the fat molecules have been surrounded by plastic molecules to, IN THEORY, keep a person from digesting the fat molecules. As if eating fat is a bad thing, and eating plastic is a good thing
