three of my favorite dan dunleavy calls on ukko-pekka luukkonen

happy birthday big man

albert camus' rejected novel "the birthday boy"

i had only to wish that there be a large crowd of friends the day of my birthday party and that they greet me with cries of "happy birthday!"

had just enough pockets of downtime at work tonight that i got through most of camus' "the stranger"

got home and finished it. maybe i like reading again...

remembering in either 4th or 5th grade when i was saddled with the shittiest song in the school-wide production of 'oliver!' despite my repeated protests to our music teacher, so i tearfully refused to rehearse it and basically ghosted on the night.

bought it off of thriftbooks some time ago. sporadically annotated by, i'm assuming, a high school student.

at one point they had underlined a sentence where a character was equated to a stray city dog that a cop would kill to test for rabies and wrote, "HUH?"

did my laundry today and wound up barging through slaughterhouse-five

hadn't read it since high school, enjoyed it quite a bit. not even in reaction to anything real world, just had a copy lying around.

if i ever come off too pretentious or snooty just remember that i genuinely love the song "we built this city"

watching true detective and thinking "hey, it's murry wilson!"

was bemoaning my lack of reading so i made myself read the prologue of the closest book to me and i do want to continue it (once i'm not so tired)

true detective: the college years

"i can smell the psychosphere! :D"

"please say more odd shit rust! i'm so glad we're pals."

Sabres radio broadcast just played Dark of the Matinee

Hadn’t watched true detective until a couple days ago and now it’s all I can think about

we gotta get more pretentious and stop talking like network shareholder AI robots

it sounds passive and incurious, infers that all art forms are exactly the same and don't require any actual consideration or respect or differentiation, just eat it and shit it out and move on to the next media to consume.

the phrase "consume media" is going to be an eternal pet peeve for me i think.

i love they might be giants, hell i love lemon demon but i do not fuck with tally hall even a little bit.

i may be trans and into furry stuff myself but i do not care for his music.

i was once chided on twitter by a furry musician because i talked shit about car seat headrest

my favorite team

witches brew recipe

dissolve 10 weed gummies into a 2 liter of mountain dew, boil and bubble to taste.

working on a cover of the beach boys' 1988 non-hit "somewhere near japan"

also if i wanna hear people speak english i'll go to the store, it doesn't bother me to read subtitles and listen to another language for a little bit.

admittedly i am not the biggest anime-head but i'm definitely subs over dubs

idk why but english dub writing/VA grates on me really bad. maybe some residual distaste from shows i watched as a kid. also doesn't help if the VA is an "online personality" i don't care for.

And I'm sure it is a perfectly serviceable reboot of the show, but it'll never have that same spark. It kind of can't.

Like I get it, you probably have to make concessions to appeal to Netflix and make it feel like a sure thing but come on.

My biggest gripe with the mst3k reboot was plainly that it succumbed to a “Hollywood nerd culture” mindset instead of it being helmed by a bunch of relatively unknown Twin Cities comedians and writers

I don’t need or want Felicia Day, Patton Oswalt or the Nerdist guy anywhere near it.

i was out on the mst3k reboot pretty much from day one (and i LOVE mst3k) and still never watched a second of it.

don't need it or want it, so why waste my time?

"ugh this remake of this show i like isn't going to have the major elements i liked about the original but i'm still gonna watch it"

...why?

it really rules to have an audio interface so i can watch youtube and hear my electric bass over it
