2:30 AM, my old friend
Mar. 22nd, 2025 02:30 amI 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)
