Blagueur, musician. I have delusions of writing. Also I play viola.
Depressed Sunday? Time to watch Stewart Lee.
Love struck? Or love's truck?
We may never know.
Watching the new MST3K. I didn't know the original when it was around, so I'm really happy with the return. It's quite delightful.
I have decided that I will never watch Jurassic World. Here are my iron-clad reasons why:
1. The only redeeming factors of the original Jurassic Park were a) the special effects and b) Jeff Goldblum.
2. Accordingly, The Lost World is objectively the best film of the franchise, and JP3 failed entirely because of the absence of Jeff Goldblum.
3. The continued absence of Jeff Goldblum means it's impossible for JW to be worthwhile.
4. I will not waste my time on a Goldblum-less Jurassic film.
a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, everything changed when the fire nation hired William Shatner to boldly go to Starbucks for breakfast.
fucking hipsters.
Another day, another blatant reminder that the vast majority of people I interact with see mindlessness and emotional vacancy as a virtue rather than something to be avoided at all costs.
Today I've been listening to Bob Dylan's "Time Out of Mind." Title is accurate in a sense: it's a timeless album. I've known it for about 10 years, and I still love it very much.
(For the record: Yes, I've been suicidal and institutionalized for it, and had this conversation just last night, except I didn't actually say that, just thought it very strongly.)
That moment you realize you're still alive almost entirely out of spite.
close friend: I'm just worried you're going to kill yourself.
me: fuck you I'm not gonna kill myself.
In other news, David Bowie's most awesomest song "The Laughing Gnome" was released 50 years ago today. So go give it a listen.
(Honestly though, I really freaking love David Bowie, and I like so much of his stuff far more than Laughing Gnome. But I still really like Laughing Gnome.)
Now I wish I was a food-lover named Catherine, just so I could have a profile on this site called "MastoKate."
how do people stay sane?
stay tuned to find out.
I have a pet spider apparently. It's been sitting on my bedroom window for the last two days, so I caught it with a glass today.
it is my pet spider.
*Sees that Thomas Jefferson is trending on birdsite*
Oh god, what did he do this time...
*reads*
...Of course he fucking thought literal mastodons were wandering around in the West.
It's amusing to me how the literary crowd has taken the tote bag as their universal symbol, and yet I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've actually seen a person carrying/using one.
@groofay I dig.
I mean, whoa man.
Ya dig?
Everyone here is so chill. I dig that. Nice mix of posts -- personal to political, silly to serious, frivolous to fascinating.
Facebook sent me an article about how to tell fake news from real news.
Well, thank god for that. The US media will be right as rain thanks to Facebook's tireless efforts in championing objectivity in all its forms. I'll be able to sleep well tonight, knowing that Facebook will have my best interests at heart until the very day I experience that sweetest relief of death.
(Can y'all taste the sarcasm here? I really want you to.)
Anyone around here read #BrianEvenson? I have become intrigued, and shall jump down the rabbit hole, which, given that it's Brian Evenson, is probably full of hoarded dead babies and amputated limbs or something.
