I've been being super quiet, because I've had massive dental issues w/ painful corrective procedures lately.

Luckily, I just remembered I don't type with my teeth...

@jeffdavenport Both bands were incredibly influential.

@jeffdavenport While the Talking Heads are arguably a better band, with more complex works than Joy Division [or even New Order, for that matter,] I still vote for Joy Division due to the great associative memories I have of where and when I heard their music...

I was surprised by how good the movie "Godzilla -1" is.

Godzilla was no "misunderstood monster" in this one, it was a purely destructive force filled with fury.

The REAL story was with the human cast though, which is rare with Godzilla movies, and with the redemption arc of one character in particular.

Great story, great effects, raging monster... what's not to like?

It really raises the bar on what a kaiju movie can be.

I highly recommend this one!

I never knew any of this...

Qne of these days I WILL get Alfred to engage with me without it just being him passive-aggressively calling me out on my bullshit, lol.

I even copy/pasted the format of the query from a post that Alfred had JUST answered.

He has the contempt of the Basilisk for me for some reason...

@Alfred please try to determine the location of this photo

The last person I ever tried to create sounds with used to go far out of their way to make things difficult for me.
It got to the point where he was just sending me completely dissonant and out of context guitar tracks that he would expect me to work into a song somehow.

This was our final piece before he vanished.

Unfinished, but I am sure you'll get the picture, lol...

Mood today...

[I hope everyone is doing well! I'm on week three of transitioning from nights to days, so I am all over the place mentally, so I will probably just sit down and shut up for a while still, lol...]

So sleepy...

@LnzyHou Thank you!

...and it's not that I'm a major criminal, to be clear!

I've just had several name changes over the last 4 decades, and I'm not so good at holding on to legal documents, lol...

#oopsButterfingers

First week of work at the new job...completed!

So far so good...

I'm almost like an actual citizen!

I have legal ID for the first time in a decade.

Health/dental/vision insurance will be kicking in shortly, and I haven't had that for over six years, and I am finally LEGALLY on a joint bank account w/my wife.

It's like a dream come true.

[or, more realistically, much LESS OF A FRICKIN' NIGHTMARE.]

@tgraph52 exactly... I was seeing that clock on the wall, ticking...

@tgraph52 Thank you! It's such a relief!

@agitated_trash Thank you!

Spoke to my new manager today, and all of my various background investigations and verifications are complete.

I start my new full-time job on Monday!

This is going to take an adjustment though... I'm used to working weekends as well as 2nd and 3rd shifts.

This will be my first 8 am to 4 pm job in over 25 years!

A big part of the problem is how these clowns see themselves. They all think they are "mavericks" for some reason, instead of being part of an elected group of officials sent to legislate on behalf of the people.

When do WE get OUR "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?" moment in this era?

A real one though, NOT just a manufactured soundbite...

@Ms420 I figured I might as well subscribe to the YouTube channel as well.
