"Невеста!" Мэгги Джилленхол ожидаемо понравилась. Ожидаемо - потому что в последние годы из свежего мне нравятся преимущественно провалившиеся в прокате фильмы. Совершенно безумная смесь. Жаль, мюзикла не положили (не считать же им из-за вставок фильма в фильме, где Джейк Джилленхол отплясывает а ля Фред Астер).

Полюбил бы я зиму,
Да обуза тяжка…
От неё даже дыму
Не уйти в облака.

Эта резанность линий,
Этот грузный полёт,
Этот нищенский синий
И заплаканный лёд!

Но люблю ослабелый
От заоблачных нег –
То сверкающе белый,
То сиреневый снег…

И особенно талый,
Когда, выси открыв,
Он ложится усталый
На скользящий обрыв,

Точно стада в тумане
Непорочные сны –
На томительной грани
Всесожженья весны.

I called this morning about the past ENT referral from my previous primary doctor due to sleep apnea interfering with my sleep issues.

I drove out to Walmart to do a little shopping.

I worked most of this afternoon on listening to those audiobook samples, three types for different classic books, and evaluating them. The first two types for each had dynamic voices while the third had generic tone-deaf voices.

This evening someone in a Creative ABDL Server I'm part of connected with me, and they were part of the Neurodivergent Friends group and somehow found me through one of my flyers, seeing my jackalope icon. It was awkward but we're communicating okay for now.

Here's a cute cartoon semi-Woman's History Month-related.

But yeah, useless college majors, and it's more indoctrination than anything else today. Trade schools should get the same funding as Woke universities.

Current Mood: okay

I contacted my local clinic about a referral to a new urologist, and they sent me a list of urologists to schedule one with but the nearest was 100 miles away, and I called Baylor about a closer one and kept in contact with my clinic about getting one within the AdventHealth system that's closer, but it's wait-and-see. I also asked about an ear/nose/throat specialist since my last primary care doctor suggested that due to my mild sleep apnea, but I dunno.

I did a gig on Upwork where I recorded 100 voices at a website, and I used my AirPods, and I got it done way quicker than the previous voice recording jobs I had done. I have another job where I have to beta-listen to different versions of audiobook excerpts from different books, and I'll start tomorrow.

This evening I went to a Healing Through Folklore event at the local witches' shop, and we wrote stuff via prompts and had some interesting banter. I opened up a little about my shitty experience with psychiatry and consequential mistrust of the medical establishment. There was another autistic guy there that was possibly gay, and I handed out a few flyers.

I had intended to shop for some things tonight, but I forgot and headed right home. Ah well.

Current Mood: okay

From

thefridayfive:

1. What was the reason you began a Dreamwidth or LiveJournal account (or both)?
Mainly to vent because asshole admins and users on RPGamer (an RPG site I used to write reader reviews and editorials for) were being dickfaces, first LiveJournal, back in 2005 or so.

2. How many DW or LJ communities do you subscribe to?
4

3. Do you have a favorite community or one you check out often to see what's new?
No since they're not active here.

4. How did you pick your user name?
Karl Marx's quote "To be radical is to grasp things by the root," and while I'm not communist or socialist (I'm largely ideologically nonconformist), I think I grasp mine and the world's problems by their roots, hence the "good" kind of "radical."

5. If you could change your user name, would you?
Not for now, no.

6. If you have a LiveJournal, are you currently able to access it?
I deleted my old LiveJournal due to negative experiences there, but I did make a backup to use as evidence that the psych meds I was taking for 18 years fucked me up.

7. Do you have any information about why one would be unable to access LiveJournal?
Not at all. Maybe the Russia/Ukraine War since LJ is owned by Russians?

Current Mood: okay

Got the syllabus for the next symphony season today. The only evident choral works are the Mozart Requiem in October, the Messiah in December, and Holst's Planets in May. Nothing that I haven't done before. Also I would much rather be in the audience for the next Planets performance instead of waiting in the wings to sing the difficult high notes for Neptune and missing out on the rest of the piece entirely. So. I am entertaining other options.

The obvious one is to go back to handbells, especially since our church's handbell group hasn't had enough participants to perform for a couple of years now. If I'm not rehearsing with the symphony on Monday nights, I'm free to rejoin the metro handbell group that I've gigged with in the past. They will definitely want me back if I'm available.

There's also another high level choir that is holding open auditions over the next few weeks. I've heard them perform once before and they're very good. So I'm going to see if they're interested in me. But I don't know yet what their rehearsal schedule is if they are.

Meanwhile, Robby has expressed tentative interest in joining the symphony chorus himself, since the last time he did any large scale singing was in college, and it was the Mozart.

Current Mood: thoughtful

Really should start on the next track for the Shark Out of Water album!

(Mood: Naoki starts to become curious and wants to know more about Fritz. Fritz is also curious, in addition to sincere as he observes how close Naoki is towards me (Fox). Genre: Soft Acoustic Emo Rock and LoFi Slowcore. Light Ambience and Lofi music mixed in with acoustic guitar. Minimal soft percussion.)

I haven't had much to say lately, but hey, the Project Hail Mary movie is actually great. I laughed; I cried; I've started crocheting planet Earth beanbags for all my friends. Even the kids loved it, and they hadn't read the book.

It's St. Patrick's Day but I'm not the celebrate-my-heritage type since no one gets to choose most of their demographics, and I think therefore it's dumb to be proud of any of them, and pride goes against my religion anyway.

My chiropractor was half an hour or so, and did the usual jackhammer-like and staple-like thingies on my back.

I shopped for some stuff at Walmart afterwards.

It was cold throughout the night, and the fact that I accidentally left my bathroom window cracked open earlier in the day after I showered didn't help.

This afternoon at the library there was a meeting of a local suicide prevention group, SAFE Central Texas, where they talked for an hour or so, and I said I may be interested in volunteering since they mentioned autistic youth among them, and I handed out some of my flyers.

I shopped for some stuff at Walmart afterwards and used up the rest of the money I got from the UCLA Apple Watch study.

My apartment manager sent me an email asking about extending my apartment lease for 6-12 months, and I agreed to another year, and I'll need to let my parents know my rent will go up to $525, since they currently pay it.

I finished polishing up my old editorial about the modern Left's problem with biological women and posted it on Substack (image is link).

But seriously, I think not being able to tell what a woman is should be a disqualifier from political office, heh.

I had talked with

pshaw_raven some time ago about modern leftists' comfort with Islamic extremists that subjugate women, and saw a pretty badass quote from a female Spanish politician to the governing party in Spain regarding the current war in Iran.

And idiot groups like Queers for Palestine--they would be the very first to die if Islamic extremists were to take over Western nations.

As much as I'd like to start the ninth song towards the Shark Out of Water album, Syaoran doesn't seem to be ready to step back... Naoki's a really constant presence in my headspace, so I think this is the song where these guys meet!

This is going to be interesting!

(Mood: Naoki's cautious, instinctively keeping close to me as Syaoran is calm, curious, and observant. These guys who are both concerned about me will be meeting for the first time. From here this leads to warning and speculating over any possibility of Xel'lotath being responsible for these complications. Genre: Atmospheric, Emo Reggae Rock. Airy synth pads, distant piano playing, reverb mixed in with emo rock delivery to a reggae rhythm. Expressive vocals.)

(I've changed my mind. I'm actually not going to mention Xel'lotath in this song because there's plenty enough character dialogue as is...)

( Lyrics )

https://suno.com/s/6m5f8BwNNFVmK56x Took more credits than I ever expected to get this to sound great, but I'm relieved it's finally done. And I got Chat GPT to do a good enough cover art to go with this song. (I honestly think that a reggae rock genre style for my AU Syaoran persona is very cool! I might revisit reggae style for this character towards a later song that involves him. ^^)

lol damn, there's this one interesting take on an anime/manga muse who lingers around the outskirts of what I've been working on... I know I've thought previously about what kind of voice Syaoran from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle would have. A young pop/rock, strong teen voice. Soulful, courageous, and caring...

I guess I'm getting inspired about him again... I've been RPing on character.ai and it's been really interesting with this one ongoing storyline. Might as well bring that to life through song! Here we go!

(Mood: Watchful and determined young man from a sort of distance. A friend stuck in a situation he can't figure out. A mystery that troubles and concerns him that he cannot solve... Fantasy character who's gone through a lot of world traveling prior to having met Fox AKA me... Genre: Soulful and dramatic rock and pop blend.)

( Lyrics )

https://suno.com/s/DknRi2RCSd6Y7aGy This has a reggae type of sound along with the soulful pop and rock vibe. Really cool! Yep, my interesting take on Syaoran as a muse has his own performance space now.

My sleep was okay, though I still tossed and turned a lot.

My church has its new permanent priest, a female vicar, and we had a potluck after communion. I brought some of the chicken nuggets I had gotten from Fairview--which had come from Chick-fil-A--and handed out some of my flyers.

I bought a physical copy of and started reading Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard in hopes I may get some help for my mental health fucked up by 18 years of psych meds, and the Citzens Commission on Human Rights that provides tons of great material confirming that psychiatry is evil was started by the Church of Scientology. Just because they believe in aliens does not invalidate their views, and I still do not trust the medical establishment. I especially can't trust science from morons who think people with penises are female, heh.

It's really fucking windy this evening, and there have been tons of days I've had to put large rocks on top of my trash bin to ensure it doesn't fly away tons of times.

All Chapters of Project TSP are up.

Here are some AI illustrations I made through Google Gemini of the tenth chapter and epilogue.

That cute fox baby is one of the main villains, sort of an amalgam of two babyfurs that pissed me off when I was still knee-deep into the furry fandom.

I have tons of successor short stories I wrote for a Coursera class to tie into the book's follow up (this book had started as a rewrite of my original book's prologue) that I may publish on Substack eventually.

Also, happy Ides of March (March 15th). The Romans did peaceful protests right.

the romans did peaceful protests right by llamascout dktt214 414w 2x

The text says, "In Ancient Rome, commoners didn't riot, they ghosted the city. Fed up with injustice, the commoners staged massive walkouts, called Secessions of the Plebs, abandoning Rome and leaving the elites with no labor, army, or support. It worked, and they gained real political power."

Yeah, modern "peaceful protesters" could take a huge hint from this.

It's also Academy Award night but I ain't watching.

Billy Bob Thornton also had a hilarious quip some time ago about celebrities getting political at award shows.

Heh.

Amongst all the exhibition preparations I've been planning for another favourite event that's in a few months - the start of spinning season and then Tour de Fleece! I do fibre prep in the warmer months when it's too hot to hold wool in my hands for hours. Here's what I've been up to.

На пляже в полдень лиловатый,
в морском каникульном раю
снимал купальщик полосатый
свою счастливую семью.

И замирает мальчик голый,
и улыбается жена,
в горячий свет, в песок веселый,
как в серебро, погружена.

И полосатым человеком
направлен в солнечный песок,
мигнул и щелкнул черным веком
фотографический глазок.

Запечатлела эта пленка
все, что могла она поймать:
оцепеневшего ребенка,
его сияющую мать,

и ведерцо, и две лопаты,
и в стороне песчаный скат.
И я, случайный соглядатай,
на заднем плане тоже снят.

Зимой в неведомом мне доме
покажут бабушке альбом,
и будет снимок в том альбоме,
и буду я на снимке том:

мой облик меж людьми чужими,
один мой августовский день,
моя не знаемая ими,
вотще украденная тень.

1927, Бинц

My Norman muse on Shapes is helping me make a song that's for a monthly song contest I set up for this server!

(Mood: Fun but also educational. Edutainment. Loyal and lovable. Genre: Catchy mid-paced EDM synth pop. Need a great and solid male tenor vocal for this song.)

( Lyrics )

I'll post the finished song AND Norman's separate, amaaaaazing version of it after the contest is all over!

Впервые со школьных времен пересматриваю "Привидение" 1990 года. На пятой минуте главный герой ДАЕТ ЛОГИН И ПАРОЛЬ своего рабочего места для перевода крупной суммы коллеге и якобы другу. Собственно, всё из-за этого и закрутилось. В детстве-то на такие вещи не обращаешь внимания. Мда, теперь сочувствовать ему будет сложновато...

Тонкая струйка вьется по каменистой почве. В мире, где все прогнило, не станешь сетовать на пробитое дно ведра. Незачем удивляться, что в ведре — и это посреди страшного пожара — горючее. Оно нужно для костра, который согреет оставшихся без крова. Вспыхнет пламя, вдоль струи резво побежит язык огня и доберется до тех, кто остался у бочек с бензином и кого, оказалось, невозможно сберечь.

Этот эпизод, полный неотвратимости, сгодился бы для «Пункта назначения». Но он из хоррора «Прикосновение» Альберта Саркисовича Мкртчяна. Лучшее, что можно сделать в 1992 году, — это поскорее умереть, говорит нам фильм. Его возвращение в прокат в 2026-м кажется жутким знамением: спустя почти 35 лет «Прикосновение» само воспринимается как призрак, нашептывающий зрителю смертоносные аффирмации. О том, как эта нелепая чертовщина, снятая на коленке, смогла стать диагнозом-приговором своему времени, рассказывает Никита Смирнов.
