The Odyssey but retold as a low-stakes modern adventure of one guy out with his girlfriend leaving the bar with his buddies to do just one (1) simple thing real quick, it'll take like 15 minutes tops, he'll be right back, but then some bullshit happens and the trip keeps getting more complicated as more bullshit keeps happening while he just tries to get back to the bar because he promised his girlfriend that he'd get back and he knows that she's still there because she told him she'd wait there.

And by the time he finally gets back it's almost 3 am and the bar is about to close while she's sitting there stone cold sober, surrounded by 5 drunk guys unsuccessfully trying to convince her to give up on waiting for him and go home with one of them instead. And the guy shows up to proceed to beat the shit out of them before explaining himself to her like hey sorry bullshit kept happening, my phone fell into a storm drain and my wallet got stolen when I was trying to find someone who'd borrow me a phone so I could call and

[thekijs]

His girlfriend had been fending off the 5 drunk guys for most of the evening by explaining that even if she was going to ditch her boyfriend, she can't possibly leave without finishing her beer, which she is keeping perpetually full via careful sleight of hand where she's just pouring it back and forth into and out of the pitcher.

However the drunk guys are also drinking, and eventually she can't afford to buy another pitcher for the table so she can't keep up the ever-full beer glass trick. At this point she has to resort to setting up the pool trick shot that she's never seen anyone but her boyfriend pull off, and says she'll leave with whoever manages the shot first.

That buys her another hour or so and then, finally, her boyfriend makes it back. He looks like shit, hair down and just a mess, he's wearing an entirely different jacket that he got from an alley, and barely recognizable—especially to 5 guys who've been drunk for hours now. He lurks for a minute, finds out what's going on, and proceeds to pull off the trick shot first try. Throws the jacket off, fixes his hair with a hair tie his girlfriend lends him, finally looks like himself again, and THEN beats the shit out of them with the pool cue.

“All of us don’t have the same eyes” is my key takeaway here. This is 100 percent correct.

The pantry is empty again, we need help filling it since our paycheck money is going towards rent, car, and utilities.

(I also have an overdue $100 payment for my HRT if anyone wants to help with that too, it's included in the goal)

as usual, everything helps, including reblogging!

it's the final stretch! (food stamps replenish on the 4th) I've adjusted this goal for the new week. I still really need to get my hrt service paid ($100) before my next bill is due on the 10th. and on top of everything, the frequent rainstorms in my area have had me mostly bedridden, so even just $30 for the ability to get takeout tonight would be much appreciated so I can rest as much as I need.

Hair Day

most carousel companies had their own individual style when it came to their horses manes but some shared common labels

today we’ll be talking about the different kinds of manes used on carousel horses

Windswept

also known as wind blown manes, carousel horse carvings were all about showing a horse in motion! this was the perfect mane to do the job

Peekaboo Mane

just as it sounds, this mane has a gap that you can look through!

peekaboo manes were an incredible flex in the carousel world, it proved that a company could carve thin pieces of wood without the risk of it snapping

Trojan Mane

also known as roached or chopped manes, this style of hair was given its name for its trojan-helmet resemblance

allan hershell is my personal favorite when it comes to trojan manes. sometimes they blend the trojan mane & peekaboo mane as seen in the first photo below

Side Swept

these manes bring a softer/elegant side in contrast to their energetic counterparts

it also brought great emphasis to the romance side, the side of a carousel horse that always faces the crowd

Flying Mane

similar to the windswept mane but with more volume and exaggeration

sometimes carvers such as parker would combine the peekaboo mane with the flying mane as shown below to the right

Top Knot

this mane is styled as if the bangs are floating or curled into a knot on top of the horses head, giving an energetic appearance

introduced in the 1920s, this style was used by the dentzel/muller company the most

remember that many carousel companies differ from eachother! some may share terms while others do not, thank you for reading!

from like 9 to 12 i would try to fall asleep by ‘making’ a new seinfeld episode in my head. i would open with a jerry seinfeld standup bit that was almost nonsense (its not like i can write standup like he can at 10 years old) and then it would be jerry and george arguing about a girlfriend i made up with some kind of pointless issue (”she wears bigger pants than me, jerry! everyones gonna know, who wears the pants!”) and then kramer would walk in. by that time id be almost out

I should also say i was ‘typing’ out the dialogue with my hands as if they were on a keyboard, but my hands were across my chest like a vampire

As much as I think it would be fun to have emotive anthropomorphic ears, I also recognize I can barely control my facial expressions. Like hell can I keep from Angry Ears-ing during meetings

[initiala]

This is who you’re having a meeting with, by the way.

yesterday was my first fully sober day at faire and i think i realized i lowkey rely on alcohol to take the edge off my various pains and discomforts and fatigues by the end of the day. bc i really doubt i could have done an afterparty after that
