@JulieSqveakaroo i read the novel that "Freejack" was based on and it could have been a much better/stupider movie

i don't have the mountain of blow that Stephen King had to make "Maximum Overdrive" a good idea

@001zlnv okay thats more like it

@JulieSqveakaroo NOOOOO

i'm making steak curry and kind of drunk, listening to D&B at brain-damaging volume levels, as one does when one has a night away from one's partner. recommend me a #movie, internet. take your best shot.

happy "Elvis is Still Dead Day" to all those who celebrate it.

remember when Elvis sightings were a thing, and fat, weirdly-pompadoured, be-jumpsuited Elvis became sort of a shorthand talisman for the kind of uneasy but vaguely optimistic, post-hippie, pre-millennium/pre-internet fascination with fortean events, UFO's and the supernatural? adjacent from actual cult lore, only mildly overlapping with Fake Real Cults like the Subgenii, often appearing in pop culture imagery before fully metastatizing in its most well-known host, The X Files.

Rotund, Spangled, Perpetually-Young-and-frequently-abducted-by-aliens Elvis was a symbol unto itself that meant a lot of things, and people just stopped using it after the turn of the century. last time i heard anyone mention Elvis in this capacity was in the first "Men In Black" movie ("Elvis is *not* dead, he just went home"). the culture has moved on from this now quaint period of low weirdness that lasted from the mid-80's to the mid-to-late 90's.

if you ever want to read a book that perfectly encapsulates this time period, seek out the book "Buddy Holly is Alive And Well On Ganymede" by Bradley Denton; which was going to be made into a movie starring Jon Heder but never came together.

@001zlnv [nodding sagely] Mister Creosote, awaiting his wafer-thin mint.

oh yeah, i have a masto instance, don't i.

hello. nothing is new. no job, no change, no forward motion.

watching the world right now is like watching a supercut of that one scene in 'Holy Grail' with Lancelot charging the castle and never quite getting there.

@LeDiva my condolences, LeDiva.

the great thing about going to small live music venues is getting to know and recognize your city's wandering eccentrics. like you go to a little club you've never been to before, but check it out, Bathrobe Jesus and the Goodwill Cosmonaut are here, okay this is gonna be a fun show

i don't know to what extent having recieved a couple of encouraging nibbles from possible jobs helped improve my functionality today, but i can honestly say that it certainly didn't *hurt.*

this week i have experienced all points on the full spectrum of functionality, from "fucking barely" all the way to "can dress self and answer questions" and veering wildly back to "segfault, lose equilibrium, release Magic Smoke."

@dolari DO I!!!!

@001zlnv well-known for their double bunny-ness.

@Momentrabbit you already know this buuuuut

@JulieSqveakaroo a chilling vision of what the adult world and working for a living was going to be like.
