going through my microsoft word archives is great fun because i always find the wildest shit in there and by “the wildest shit” i mean the time i tried to rewrite the entire bible from scratch at the age of eleven and a half
“And so Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden, and Eve turned to Adam and said, ‘Nice going, loser.‘”

whilst you were listening to avril lavigne, i learned the way of the Lord
This is amazing
My Unconscious, back at it again with a great dream: Yo, this is a cool thing that exists.
Me, waking up: Holy Crud, I can’t believe this is a thing!
For those curious: yes, Spike rolled a nat 20, no, I didn’t expect the 5% chance so I didn’t follow the die with the camera, and yes, I’ve never been more mad at myself.
LET ME TELL YOU A THING ABOUT THE 2019 SONIC MOVIE
For starters, SEGA knows Sonic is on thin ice. His footing is shaky at best, though hope has been restored by Mania, Mania Adventures, and the recent hype for the racing game. The company knows that they’ve gotta NAIL these next few releases if they want a shot at restoring some of Sonic’s old glory.
NOW.
I don’t know if you know this, but Sonic’s original creator (Naoto Ohshima), level designer (Hirokazu Yasuhara), and lead programmer (Yuji Naka) have not been involved in the series for many, many years. In fact, Ohshima has refused most interviews regarding the series, and has been working on other projects. Looking at Sonic’s history and the timeline of when the original Sonic Team disbanded, it’s not hard to guess that Ohshima and Naka have not exactly… let’s say, been all too thrilled with where Sonic has gone in recent years.
(And before anyone counters with that interview Ohshima did where he said Sonic has “grown up” and “doesn’t need his power anymore”… I implore you to rewatch that interview and think about Japanese standards of politeness. “Doublespeak” is common in that culture, where things are worded veeeeeery carefully so that they could be taken very positively but betray one’s true thoughts. Ohshima saying that Sonic is who he is today because of all the people who’ve been on the project, stating that Sonic doesn’t need him around anymore… it’s like Ohshima is saying, “I didn’t have anything to do with what happened to Sonic. It’s not my fault.”)
But Ohshima not only did a new EXTENSIVE interview about Sonic this year, 2018… he also went out of his way to draw promotional art for Sonic Mania upon his release. The man must be THRILLED to see the games returning to what originally made them so great.
What’s this got to do with the movie? Well, let’s just hop on over to the movie’s IMDB page, and…
Oh! Oh my!
There are three names on that list that look startlingly familiar!
The O.G. team is back. And they’re helping to write for the movie.
Not to mention, I’m sorry – Jim Carrey? Ben Schwartz?! James Marsden?! Tika Sumpter?! These are all incredibly successful actors! They don’t need to sign on to B-list films – they clearly see something in this film.
To top it all off, what little we DO know about the plot is REMARKABLY similar to the opening setting for Sonic Adventure 2. I doubt it will be a straight adaptation, but I recall reading somewhere (I can’t remember where, and I can’t seem to find it again) that either the director or the head scriptwriter was replaying the Adventure games throughout the script’s writing.
This movie is going to be good.
And if I’m wrong, it’s at least going to be devilishly fun.
this one’s a few days late due to having a lot of doctors appointments sorry it’s just 9 pages, and about some rats… it’s more symbolic than anything really
(it’s completely unrelated to any of my songs that have to do with “puzzleboy”)
the new batch of love for john mulaney here on tumblr has got me thinking how critical costume design is once again. john mulaney is a good comedian, but so much of his power comes from how his humor plays off how he’s dressed. we don’t expect a man dressed like a 1960s news announcer, all clean scrubbed and tight-wound professional, to describe in minute detail the visit where a doctor shoved a hand up his ass. imagine any iconic john mulaney set but given in jeans and a t-shirt, and is it as funny? i don’t think so. his humor spreads like wildfire on this website because the image of a man in a buttoned-up shirt and a tie and slicked back hair with fairly narrow lapels on his three-piece suit is fucking hysterical when paired with “years later I’d be in college about to go down on some
rockin’ twink and i’d be like what would leonard bernstein do”
well I do recall a comedian telling about how he accidentally joined the russian mafia on a school trip in college, and this was made more believable by the fact that he was shirtless with a beer belly while telling this story
