I really need to have my eensy weensy breakdowns at times other than 5 am if I want to interact with another human being.

I couldn't even make a comic about it because I'd already made a comic about that exact situation already.

Anyway, the news is horrible (hate crimes, genocides), I have bad memories (no matter how old I get), and my province is on fire (and the only non-friend acknowledgement I've seen about it was an american warning the US-only about our smoke).

So this isn't a total whiny bummer and a sign I REALLY need to start keeping a paper diary again, I discovered that in my old computer files that I've been keeping since 2005, I have MANY quality vintage hamster pictures. Hell yeah.

We're at Session 9 and I've now made 7 comics about our adventures and that was enough to start posting them to Ao3. Here's the link!

Lord, I know I haven't been a good man, but I deserve some sort of reparations for the amount of people who argue with me when I'm not wrong or just repeat my point back at me, badly. Or worse, try to make a joke off my joke but theirs is a parasite that kills the original humour.

In other less pissy news:

Watched Strange World, the 2022 Disney animated movie I never saw advertised anywhere with my friend. We played our game of 'why did Disney bury this movie?' as we watched and found a bunch of examples which spoke well for the movie.

Further, the movie was interesting as it read as the evolution of the sci-fi genre - macho man white grandpa, sensitive but still colonial white son, equity and systemic minded black grandson and The Women Were Also There I Guess (I liked them but they did not get any arcs, which was frustrating but also, I suppose, a sign of the sci-fi metaphor).

Also Splat was like, the Chosen One on his own quest in there. That's my explanation for why he's the only blue one and how he leads to the heroes succeeding in their heroing.

dad: that means I'm an adult now, doesn't it

I didn't have much sympathy for his arrested development - I've felt like an old man for about ten years now. Of course, I also got to do that oldest (presenting female) sibling with four younger male cousins on top of it responsibility dance so who the hell knows what tilted the scales there.

Canada Post might have another strike so I marched out in 4 degree stormy weather to the post box to mail some postcards I wrote like, a month and a week ago (respectively), finally. I did see a lot of nicely flowering trees, a really nice part of spring. And two scottie dogs that looked like they would personally knife me if I approached their owner picking up their doo. 'That's ours! You can't have it!'

Cute though.

Saw the first 10 minutes of Murderbot with my friend Meli until her connection gave up on trying to share itself with a teen boy. We'll try again Sunday at 3 am.

My mom's birthday is tomorrow! She's 67! She's had cancer recently and is currently cancer free right now, so I'm treasuring this birthday.

Werewolf's delight.

There's been a bee plague in my home - we suspect that the orange belted bumblebees native to the area that also love our garden chose to winter overnight at our place and came out on the wrong side when leaving hibernation. We've been rescuing them from all over the interior of the house.

I recommend you image search them because they're lovely. They're huge too and they don't have hives.

There was also a queen wasp in my room but she wasn't aggro and sadly passed away on her own before I could get her out to safety because she wouldn't go where I could actually reach her. My arms are short. My body small. There is a reason I have chosen the hamster of my 30s animal, as the magpie was my 20s and the cricket my 10s.

Hey did you know I turn 40 this september? Some people here knew me when I was an actual kid.

I turned in my last fic assignment the other day, I'm not doing spring/summer term for school this year (nothing I could take), and I am kind of freaking out from having an empty quest log because it makes me think I'm forgetting a lot of important things when I go 'what should I be doing' and am returned with 'data not found'.

crantz: a painting of a woman reading in an old fashioned outfit apparently on the beach (reading on the beach)
Unsettling. I was doing some kitchen maintenance today and discovered all my teas and spices had expired in 21/22 and had a sobering realization that maybe my depressive episode had been a lot longer than previously believed.

Oh well. I'm just cleaning it all out and found a white board in my stuff to write down the 'use this by NOW' dates for the new stuff in the hopes it will at least help with meal planning.

All right, movie talk:

Marry My Dead Body - watched this with Elly, a rare modern movie for hamsters. It's a Taiwanese film about a cop who through a series of circumstances gets into a ghost marriage with a man and proceeds to solve said man's murder when the ghost starts manifesting.


Buckaroo Banzai - All this time I thought I was definitely not a fan but having rewatched it, I think I just wasn't sober the first time I tried. Very easy to follow, very fun. Enjoyed the aliens a lot.

A Touch of Cloth - not a movie, a series of tv specials. 3 of them to be exact. Source of an emotional Crisis when I shared it with Elly and it turned out she dislikes absurdist humour and prefers character driven. Taking it as a personal affront, I had a big baby episode (not in front of her) and then I got over myself and watched the other two episodes (including the third I had never seen before) with Ann and Vali, which was a better match. "A whole house of people dead because of me! For the fifth time this year!"

The Crow - Watched this like six thousand times as a teen, showed it to Vali and Ann for the first time as a special movie weekend. They didn't hate it! And to me, I was happy to see it actually stood up better than my memories.

Willow - Part of the double feature with the Crow, watched this one with just Vali for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture. Also lived up really well to my childhood memories and Vali loved it, especially the Nelwyns. Willow's tiny tiny children were so cute. Elora was also a very expressive baby. Vali said she understood why Warwick Davis was an early crush of mine.

Teen Wolf - terrible soundtrack. This is a movie about basketball, the werewolf thing doesn't really register. Easy to watch it with the earlier stuff happening to Michael J Fox's character being that he's a trans man and meant I got to make jokes about fangs being part of taking testosterone.

The Marlow Murder Club - tv show I watched with Elly. We loved the three leads and I got to do a 'OH THIS IS THE SOLUTION' when it clicked before the characters. We were, however, surprised to find out it was a miniseries and not separate episodes. We endured.

Missing Link - saw this with Ann. Absolutely beautiful movie by Laika, the entire purpose of it seeming to be about making gorgeous sets. I enjoyed how they didn't follow familiar tropes for the emotional journey of the main characters, but am sad that the main woman character's story was backseat to being the narrator of the male lead's emotional journey.

Amityville Horror - I enjoyed how the director made sure to include the details from the original telling by the family that made you go 'oh yes, this was absolutely a hoax'

The Silence of the Lambs - Saw this with Ann, it was about as scary as your average Criminal Minds episode, by which I mean not at all, but it was compelling. The lady in the well was my favourite and I enjoyed her can-do attitude.

Hot Fuzz and Bon Cop Bad Cop - a double feature I've wanted to run for YEARS, with Ann and Vali (who had not seen BCBC) and it was a hit! Hot Fuzz is a delight of foreshadowing and BCBC is like rolling around in maple syrup.

In the Mouth of Madness - another Ann and Vali joint, this was extremely meta and the villain looked a lot like Neil Gaiman and Neil Gaiman's twee little quotes about 'a book is a dream you hold in your hands' actually fit in perfectly with this dude's evil speeches. Try it yourself.

They Live - Ann and Vali had seen this, I hadn't, the extensive punchout scene was a fever dream in how long it went on and 'I think they're married now?' - They made fun of me because I thought Roddy Piper was Kurt Russell but they both had big beautiful mullets and manly jaws, okay. I can't be expected to identify people beyond that.

A package of my fancy lil man soap got delivered at noon today. It's beside me, but I haven't opened it yet.

12 minutes ago (it is 10 pm now) I got an email saying the package of my fancy lil man soap had been delayed and will be arriving tomorrow. Looking at the package beside me with concern now.

Minding my own business when someone I dislike makes a declaration about something I don't give a fuck about and I am STILL like 'you're not the boss of me! I'll fight you! On the beaches!'

Just letting that feeling pass through me and move along.

Sometimes when the world gets out of my control I'll do little things to let me feel like I have a grasp on my existence, like look up a topic I have feelings about (not the above) on bluesky and block everyone who crosses me. Lately that search topic has been Neil Gaiman. I'm not sure if it's the result of my frequent blocking but I do hope the reason I find so few people to block is because not many people want to defend him. And that I got rid of all the 'haha I'm superior because I have never liked a bad person in my LIFE' early on. Your hubris will not save you.

Depressingly this is not effective with J K Rowling because there's too much everything that just kills my will to live instead of a satisfactory 'off to the shadow realm' feeling.

If this doesn't work, I buy tiny plastic horses (schleich) because buying + gazing is a powerful two punch of dopamine.

It's not so bad right now though - I'm not spending my day in bed, I've been going on walks, I'm planning to go back to the gym, I got new blue shoes that fit, I'm spending more time with friends, and I'm gonna see if I can successfully bake cakes in my big toaster oven.

I also have MANY tiny plastic horses to gaze at.

Me: It's okay, I was saying it to the cat
Mom: She's a good Christian cat!
Me: She really isn't



I need to do a deep clean in my room. Debating watching The Harlow Murder Club with Elly instead. We thought it was an episodic murder mystery but goddamnit it's a four episode season over an overarching plot. We need to finish it before the month is up so I don't have to pay for another month of bbc select.

I've been walking again now that the weather doesn't want to kill me and I forgot how good it was for my brain. Probably the only point I didn't want to throw myself off a ravine yesterday was the walk.

I've gotten onto a new little bit of entertainment after seeing advice that to draw a medieval cat, all you do is draw a regular cat and give it a human face. So I did it with my cat and found it to be acceptable. And then I did a large portion of the cast of HamsterBandit Industries and giggled madly at the resulting Elly the Elephant and I'll be doing more later. Look forward to seeing medieval Guineamom.

I've passed my courses for this term and now I only require one more religion 200 course to get my degree. I'm an anthropology major/religion minor!

I get to register for my next courses on the 29th. I'm either going to be taking drug-induced spirituality or Buddhism.

Behold... Thonk, Esquire. Grave orc. Barrister. Animist ghost summoning guy. 42 years old and spending time with beautiful anime boys, a loot goblin*, and a giant talking bear.

I finally got to say the 'my ghosts don't know shit' line last night after absolutely failing a perception roll while listening to ghosts of the many many dead in the castle we're in last night.

Comic about how we somehow did not hear every single other person on our floor being killed by assassins/ogre/frost giant during the night )

School news: In the course I've gotten a grade back for, A+ which is a nice surprise because I thought I'd completely muffed the project! I got 30/30 on it though, weirdly.

Movie news: Saw

- Miracle Mile (whoa nelly)
- Starship Troopers (viewing it as in-universe fiction from another universe was a great idea. I really liked it as that)
- Live and Die In LA (Grissom no! I know what his penis looks like now so I guess I get some of Sara's ideas)
- Princess Arete (A solid fairytale with pretty low affect for an anime)
- Appointment with Death (decent Poirot, had Lauren Bacall, Carrie Fisher, and Hayley Mills but some really out of the blue added classism)
- Masters of the Universe (NOT an origin movie, basically went 'MY NAME IS HE-MAN AND I'M NOT EXPLAINING SHIT. HERE'S A GUN'. Loved it)
- Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (Solid, not sure why Mycroft was played by Christopher Lee but he did a good job, source of me discovering that Queen Victoria was a little person)
- Look Back (50 minute movie that needed the final 30 minutes desperately)
- RoboCop (another fascist movie with co-ed sexless showering scenes from the same director. Also really liked, but experienced minor alarm when I couldn't tell when the sci-fi dystopia was starting)
- Blow Out (I made a horrible joke that immediately came true in the last scene. Moss says I am the lathe of heaven)
- The Wicker Man (it's a fucking musical! I loved seeing Christopher Lee skipping merrily along)
- Miss Willoughby and the Haunted Bookshop (Very cozy mystery movie, in the old sense of cozy for books not the new sense, and surprised it never got more in the series like it clearly intended. But basically Batman if he'd gone into academia instead and also Alfred was the American)
- Fargo (That Escalated: The movie)
- She Done Him Wrong (Mae West had a lot in common, behaviour wise, with the portrayal of Sherlock in Private Life of Sherlock Holmes)
- Independence Day ("They'll never let you go to space if you marry a stripper" I'm glad he married her anyway.)
- The Blair Witch Project (oh my god this list got long. Uh uh. Well, it filled in some cultural holes and I absolutely love that they visibly cheered up once Josh died, despite still being stuck in the woods)

Okay! That was my much longer than expected movie list! I was going through my 'watch again?' list on prime. There were more like Poseidon Adventure, Josie and the Pussycats, Girlbusters, Moonstruck, MIB, Christine, etc, but I'm out of will.


ALSO Christine the movie about the car what kills inspired me to create some sequels. Which upon posting these to a chat, someone started ranting about Hollywood being creatively bankrupt until I went 'these are clearly made up. By me' and he went 'oh'. I need paid to be in chatrooms sometimes, I swear.

I used to keep a daily diary and for some reason stopped last spring when I went to visit my girlfriend to see the eclipse. Maybe something happened to me when the sun went out and that child started screaming* but who is to know?

The Pathfinder game I joined is going well. I am an extreme coward, using my ghosts (I'm an animist) to check behind doors before we enter and the times I don't check and we walk into an ambush, I shut the door and get away from it very quickly. I don't think I've actually done physical damage in a fight yet, but I use telekinetic hand and figment to disarm and distract a lot.

I am an orc.

Current Cthulhu campaign ends soon - we're in a Sar is the gm cycle - and I become GM again and we will be doing a Catthulhu one, which is just call of Cthulhu but everyone is a cat. There's an actual system for it that I own, but what I actually do is use regular CoC modules and add animal npcs and stuff for information gathering.

I have a fic that's due in a few days. Pray for Johnny.

Speaking of, I also have to face the titcrusher5000 for a medical checkup today and I'm not looking forward to baby's first mammogram at all.

EDIT: When I was a youth I saw a news clip about my city's new titcrusher5000 and it pasted this very old lady's breast into the thinnest of pancakes and that is what I thought was going to happen to me and I was terrified but apparently that was more of 'she was an old lady with very little fat there' and less the standard so it was uncomfortable but not hideously painful. Go team.

Many years ago I asked a woman I knew 'should I dye my hair red?' and she said 'there's no such thing as an attractive redheaded man' and anyway this is now the third time I've dyed my hair red while thinking of her.

I was going to share her other bon mots but that was getting into mean grudge territory.

I went to a book sale today with me mother and a friend and while I had wandered off to a Claire's to look at giant hairbows, the friend had run into a local celebrity! The lady who had pissed off the entire town and led to a several hours long council meeting when she tried to get a bunch of books banned!

The friend asked mom and I to praise her for not clawing out the lady's eyes and we were like 'no, we will not condone your behaviour. You should have suplexed her'

Also, I got new bedsheets. They are 'jersey' - I don't know what that means.

I got my Hamham action figures back from the kiln today and they delight me. I think I've nailed the design.

That was my big day! Stolen ginger valour, potential fight scene, sleeptime comfort, and artistic expression.

Also there was a dog that didn't want pets, which was sad but I respected her request.

I've been having my migraines lately and unable to sleep, so to raise my spirits I've been image searching things like prairie crocus, numbats, mouse deer, etc.

Also browsing book sales and there's a certain degree of fuckery on the amazon kindle title fields where instead of just the title they'll add some buzzwords leading to stuff like: "The Second Life of Mirielle West: A Haunting Historical Novel Perfect for Book Clubs" and also serves as warning plumage when you see books with 'A Dark Bully Romance' or 'An Uplifting Inspirational Romance' appended*

The on sale cozies my mom wants me to get her from bookbub are riddled with titles like these but thankfully since she has her bookbub set to the American one due to a misunderstanding when signing up, the books she points me out at are never on sale (thus we do not get them) and I am spared seeing 'A LAUGH OUT LOUD CAT-FILLED WHODUNNIT FOR FANS OF' appended onto the title of books in our shared library.

I'm a stickler, okay. Titles go in the title field. Summaries go in the summary field. Never shall the twain meet.



*Romance is not the warning word I'm talking about here.



EDIT: This entry reminded me to go check her favourite authors pages to see if they had any pre-orders up. There were some!

I have so many tiny horses* right now which is a sign I'm in emotional distress but also it means that if I'm buried with them, I will have a mighty herd to show off my riches in the afterlife. The barbies will be my servants.

I keep updating my webcomic over at hamsterwheel.art - up to 53 updates now, with two more in the queue. It's very hard not to make the punchline killing my little hamster avatar each time. I suffer for my art.

Each week I have a movie night with Moss and Ann, and sometimes I talk some other friends into it (most consistently Hina/Elly the Elephant who I swear is a real person even though she has no social media. Listen, people have seen her. She was my plus one at a wedding in October. We went to a tar pit together) and it's going marvellously as a project and I've also started watching modern stuff too that's not just tenuously 'pop culture!'

We saw Don't Let The Riverbeast Get You on tubi on Thursday which is a modern, very amateur slightly not of this reality horror movie a la creature of the black lagoon which features a world where tutors are the most powerful people in the world.

On Monday we saw The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes which featured a Sherlock which seemed to be an unholy combination of Mae West and Johnny from Airplane!. I liked it.

And I saw RoboCop! And I was deeply unsettled by the fact that it didn't seem to be sci-fi or unusual in any way for pretty much the whole movie!

There have been Many Others but my memory is short.

Wait, I also saw Wicker Man. It's a musical! Wicker Man is a fucking musical! Ann says that Howie should have slept with the innkeeper's daughter and then the next day everyone is just really mad at him and all 'just go. Go home. We don't even want to look at you'

Lastly, I've been rewatching CSI (original flavour) which is a delight and it's so freaky to see Sara be yelled at for going into a room with a gun when she's a CSI when in CSI NY not only would the swat team be led by the CSIs NY, they would have already killed six people. I preferred original flavour by a mile.

Wait, EXTRA lastly, I've been watching my way through Columbo which overall was a delight until I got to the finale of season 5, the potential last episode at the time which Patrick McGoohan decided to film as an experimental art project where he upended the audience's expectations of 'coherence', 'audible dialogue', 'sound mixing that didn't cause physical pain', 'a script', 'editing', 'Peter Falk being sober', 'a plot', and 'watchable'. I actually found myself wishing genuine ill on that man! Unusual! You guys know my tolerance for this shit! It wasn't just the worst episode of Columbo I'd ever seen, it may possibly have been one of the worst episodes of anything I'd ever seen.

Anyway the next episode was guest starring William Shatner (and Walter Koenig!) and was a delight, honestly. I was watching it with Hina and I said 'that's a hairpiece, Shatner used to keep stealing them from the Star Trek set' her: 'ooooh'




*Schleich. I love going 'this is a halfinger!' like I fucking know what that even means (I do not)

crantz: (don't get it)
Hello everyone. It's 2025 and I've been forced to post a picture of myself to moodle to introduce myself to my fellow students. I made a weird face and warned them I'm Old and please be patient.

Speaking of that specific class, I asked the prof a few days ago what supplies we needed for it (drawing II, I had previously taking Drawing I many years ago) and she said not to worry, she was going to be sending an email out to everyone right away. Well right at Friday as she left for the weekend she sends out an email that for supplies: "paper, pencils, charcoal, etc, what you had for last term"

After going through the five stages of grief, I emailed her asking what was contained in the 'etc'. No answer yet, wish me luck. I did find the syllabus (nothing in there) that mentioned gesso, so I'm getting an idea that I really need to know what else is in that etc.

Anyway, I wrote a Tintin fic that my OTHER class this term, the Chinese Canadian Experience which is about Chinese Canadians from the gold rush, railroad, the exclusion years, etc, to modern times that like day one made me realize for this Tintin fic I may have wanted to check some of the dates a little closer than I did.

I think it's still okay but I've never done that to myself so soon after a fic before.

Otherwise I'm very pleased with the story.
