I have just learned that Mountain Goats are NOT, in fact, actual Goats.

FMA is fascinating because there aren't many works about what it means to be an atheist and a heretic to a god that you can not only see, but who has personally snatched body parts off of your living body and made fun of you for it.

Since we keep getting "live action" CGI remakes of already perfectly adequate animated movies, and because people need to understand that animation is a medium and not a genre, I have prepared this primer about the importance of Visual Language for Conveying Information.

Can you tell what the personalities of these two mice are?

Can you tell now?

Which of these two tigers feels safer to be around?

Which of these three dogs is the funniest one?

If you can answer these questions, then you already have experience with the idea of visual language and stylistic choices being used to impart narrative meaning. If you can understand why these choices were made to impart meaning, then you can understand why animation is a medium for telling stories that has its own inherent value, and is not merely a "placeholder" for the eventual implementation of photorealistic presentation (aka "Live Action" CGI). Animation does not need to be "corrected" or "legitimized" by remaking it into the most representational simulation of observable reality.

I just spend some time in a nalbinding tutorial rabbit hole and. Look. I really don't NEED another fibercraft hobby. I have too much yarn and not enough time as it is. But it looks SO COOL and I want to try it SO BAD.

Maybe. Maybe just a few rows. Just to see if I like it. Just a few rows can't hurt, right???

(There's an alpaca farm at the end of this road, isn't there.......)

An alpaca farm or maybe a bunch of gifts in Welsh Viking's PO box.

has anyone noticed lately how black friday deals or any type of "sale" deals aren't actually deals. like i had something on my amazon wishlist that was $19.99 before, and now it's saying it WAS $49.99 but is on sale for $19.99 for a "black Friday deal." as if it wasn't just $19.99 two weeks ago at regular price. like these damn websites atp are straight up lying and trying to trick people into thinking something is on sale/is a good deal when it's not. and this isn't exclusive to that one item or even just amazon. i've been seeing it everywhere. the fuck

I didn't have a specific cleaning plan for today and that resulted in not getting much done but I'm kind of okay with that. Mum sent the cats a new scratching post so I unboxed that and assembled it, and I moved some stuff around a little, but it's evident I was tired today. I chose to rest and reserve energy for therapy. Just as well, I had a LOT to share and Therapist was shocked and delighted about the dating I've been doing. I have a new and keen insight into how Gerald's therapist reacted when he texted about starting a relationship with Alanna.

I'm hosting a get together on Friday so starting to prioritize cleaning for that: making sure the hallway is clear, clearing clutter out of the living room, seeing that the bathroom is presentable. It's funny, I've been talking with Breakfast Date about a second in-person date and I love my condo but I know it comes across a little weird, so I'm reluctant to have them visit. It's not creepy or anything, it's just very personal to me, I decorated it without reference to anyone else's thoughts and sometimes people visiting for the first time get a perplexed expression on entry.

In any case, it was good to rest today. Tomorrow I'll clean the bathroom floor, and maybe vacuum everywhere so I can shampoo the rugs on Wednesday. Slow and steady.

So I started working again today, and me and my coworker had to squeeze lemons which usually is a really un fun job but TODAY. We had the mostly lovely batch of lemons to work with. So we rated how smoothly they cut and how nice the insides of them looked for about an hour. An absolutely marvelous time I gotta say
