The more I think about this the more obsessed I am. We were touring the Japanese American History Museum and an employee was telling us how a vacuum cleaner roared to life during a power outage and scared them. While he was telling this story, a vacuum sitting nearby ROARED TO LIFE AND SCARED US

The employee nervously giggled and said it was a coincidence, but of course we assumed it was a prank (even though they’d assured us there wouldn’t be scares) and our guides were standing next to it so that explains that!

We went on a fantastic ghost tour tonight that was mostly promo for local small businesses and an actual ghostly event happened that no one knew what to do with so we just left??? But like what was that?????

After years of being an evangelical and then years of being an exvangelical I finally suddenly understood the Garden of Eden story. Like ohhhh we as humans have to strive for the thing that hurts us even though we know that it’s simplicity that makes us happy! Yeah that’s sooooo us!!

Mad scientist journaling for Scarlet Morning book 2 >:)

YES I need two typewriters, I have a SYSTEM

My only real take on You Can See Everything is that yes, she’s a liar, but also that she rewrites her own memories so she earnestly believes she is telling the truth. Also this is a very common personality type and is usually just known as That Girl Who Lies In High School

I’m going back to see it in 4dx

What the fuck that ruled

I have thalassophobia (fear of large things underwater) but the silly kind where I’m obsessed with seeking it out and I pretend that it’s a bit. Anyway the trailer for Whalefall came on before our movie and I remembered it is NOT a bit

Who was it who had to go and point out the creases-in-pride-flags thing. I see the world with harder colder eyes now

Reading Moby Dick is either 200 pages at a sprint OR I get stuck for months because Ishmael won’t stop measuring a whale. I’m miserable. I’m obsessed. I want to throw myself into the sea. I want to give Herman Melville a wedgie

I love to bake but find cooking really hard and my friends are like “oh but baking’s hard for me!” I don’t believe you!! Baking recipes tell you EXACTLY what to do down to the grain of flour! Meanwhile cooking recipes are like “cook til done. Flavor to taste” WHAT DO YOU MEEEEEEAN

With all due respect to you all “I don’t like to follow recipes” is a more surmountable problem than “how do I not kill myself and everyone I love by cooking the chicken wrong”

Mom come get me Herman Melville is doing phrenology on a whale

Airports really embrace a style of pop that I can only describe as “squealcore.” Unmoored in time, squealcore has haunted civilization for decades. It echoes piercingly through steel and concrete and pairs perfectly with flickering fluorescent lights when you haven’t slept in 30 hours

The thing about movies is that you can see any character and say “that is a beautiful woman” (you do not have to imagine this character looking or sounding any different)

An off the cuff list of characters I have done this with and now I cannot be convinced they are anything but beautiful women:
