Is it me or is Homestuck an ex-15 year old JTHM fan making fun of 15 year olds who would’ve been JTHM fans?
Which okay, most of JTHM was making fun of 15 year olds who were JTHM fans.
Daydream - Make Your Own Kind Of Music
and then this happened
On the road. In Oceano.
Moved the last of my stuff into storage yesterday. In 10th grade or so someone was talking about getting a car and he was considering this one van, and he was like “dude, it’s so big in the back, you could put a mattress in there!”
And I asked “Pf. How often do you need to transport a mattress?”, and they laughed at me.
Honestly, though, the ability (or lack thereof) to transport a mattress has proven pretty fucking clutch on occasion.
great business names I passed today:
Taco Video (I’m kind of wondering which kind of establishment it was, if either)
Hot n’ Tot
Dune - Can’t Stop Raving
for the longest time I had this attributed to Visa. Apparently a white label pressing had Fly Away on the other side, so I guess it comes from there.
Ham - Love Is
completely different from this Love Is
Lego artist Mike Doyle creates these incredible Victorian mansions using no foreign materials, just pure tiny plastic bricks.
legos……LEGOS!!!!!!!!
Vinylgroover - Shelter Shelter (Elevate remix)
came up from Oceano and Pismo
saw Cayucos. It was nice but there was nothing to do but rent a house. which I would do if I was a surfer. Or a 36 year old married yuppie with our other couple friend and we all make meals from fresh ingredients all want to fuck each other’s spouses but don’t because as a culture we’ve forgotten everything we learned in the ‘70s.
or if you could rent a dog. I would rent the hell out of a dog.
wow there are a lot of RV parks it must be where white people go to die
Pismo Beach is the only ATV beach in California. us white people do like our motorized recreation
about 8 miles north of SLO you can see the split between northern and southern california. the central part actually looks like Texas but more beautiful (Texas looks like California but more voluminous)
OK for a while the 1 was inland and I was all buullllshit but north of SLO through to Carmel holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit
holy shit
also I had a map and was like “Big Sur? with spur roads? that sounds like a big deal, must have cheap motels” especially since the other “towns” I passed were like one building each. But then it was all sooooo expensive yuppie hippie shit, restaurants and B&Bs, and I stopped in this store and asked the Mexicans there whether there were any other cheaper motels ahead they said no only the ones behind
so I turned 22 miles back to Lucia, in the dark. it was probably faster because there were no cars to be behind and I wasn’t distracted by the scenery and didn’t notice to be scared by the fact that I was on the side of a goddamned cliff over the ocean
and Lucia was closed…
22 miles back to Big Sur, with the expectation of another 45 past Carmel to Monterey, and then it turns out 2 or 3 miles past the store were all the cheap hippie motels, one with a bar and a karaoke competition that was actually pretty sweet
lesson being don’t listen to Mexicans
also everywhere was full of German tourists. Are they on Oktoberfest Break or something?
today I changed my oil in a shopping center parking lot in Carmel and I had the best intentions and tried hard but still what a clusterfuck.
here I am in Santa Cruz. I’d wanted to spend more time in college towns and this is nice but not quite the one for me. should’ve spent more time in Santa Barbara. no one minds if you smoke in bars here, which is nice. I don’t smoke tobacco but both my parents did so I enjoy the smell. don’t like the taste though.
actually now that I think of it this is the longest I’ve gone in a town of this size without seeing any cops or presence of authority altogether, and that includes walking past the courthouse. things seem to work though, even though there are sketchy dark trailer nicotine hippies and plenty of homeless people yelling at the air. we can trust each other 'cause we’re all white we’re all white
might go inland to Lodi to learn to skydive while I arrange to meet people in SF
Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Fantasy World
Vinylgroover - VGT #2 (“Raving, I’m Raving”)
I used to have this at one star for embarrassing, but I’ve since become shameless. Three stars.
spent 3 days in Santa Cruz. It’s nice, and I like college towns, but this isn’t my one. It might be suited for a D.P. Dough franchise though (this is one of my possible intermediate term plans). I wonder how much of this is to atone for my not stopping at all in Santa Barbara.
MAYBE I AM BORROWING FROM TOMORROW’S PONY QUOTA
(ah, checked, naw it’s time for ponies)
$450 for a set of prints which.. okay, Mari Inukai is okay but Amy Sol might as well be drawing on her binder
and the Stella im Hultberg - is not up to standard
that Audrey though, with the siliconsilk ribbons is promising
but I guess her shounen were promising too let’s be pessimistic
I mean Audrey has mentees now
which, I mean, they are good and faithful friends/apostles, good for them
I dunno I guess it’s below what I expect she’d give thinkspace
Drove up from Santa Cruz through SF, in Marin now. Overyeard two different restaurant conversations in which people were earnestly emotional about sustainability.
