Fukushima Flowers

August’s Son of Pictonaut effort ended up being very “stream of consciousness” on my part, as I mashed together bits and pieces as I wiki stumbled down a rabbit hole from Fukushima’s Wikipedia entry. As bizarre as it might sound, I actively encourage you to google snippets of the story as you encounter them and see how everything fits together. Or don’t. I’m not a cop. Japan Apocalypse DDC 4677…

The Thing That Happened to Katherine

This month’s son of pictonaut exists soley because I wanted to write one line of dialogue, but first needed to do all the preamble before I could get to it. It’s 3 days late becasue deadlines are for cowards and fools. Continue reading Untitled

Rubicon

This month’s “Son of Pictonaut” very nearly didn’t happen, devoid of inspiration I was conent to let it pass me by. At least until I was seized by an idea 3 days after the end of March. This month’s image was “Person Going Through a Broken Wire Fence” by Zachary DeBottis on Pexels. On some level I felt a bit like I was channelling John Darnielle. Not necessarily in terms of style, but more in…

The Wanderer

At lot of things have happened since the last post I made here, back at the arse end of 2016. I had a small nervous breakdown, my dad died, I bought a house, I got married. But one thing that there hasn’t been a lot of is writing. At least not fiction. I’ve got a short story of about five and a half thousand words that I started in the wake of my father’s death from what I have been quanitly…

If you're applying for office jobs and you're lying about being proficient in Excel (which you always should bc nobody knows anything and google is free) a handy video to give you the basics on Excel's functionality is Joel Sposky's You Suck at Excel Video. It's about an hour long and gives you enough background info to know what people are talking about when referring to Excel, and from there you can do your own further research. There are also handy little guides and notes people have taken on the presentation that go over the highlights here and here <3

Honest to gods, if you know nothing other than vlookup, index/match, and pivot tables people will basically think you’re a goddamn fucking wizard.

Something about this is so genuine and funky. It feels so natural that if I heard the correct lyrics it wouldn't process as right in my brain. This man yelling about his green tea and watermelon sour patch kids fits so well with the live music playing in the background, the atmosphere, the whole situation. It's like some reverse slam poetry talking about how good life is and how the simple pleasures should be enjoyed. I'm in love with this tik tok.

g-a-y-g-o-y-l-e

old alt rock fans in the notes are like:

1) this slaps and actually sounds like a lot of the classics

2) if i went to a concert and they played this i wouldnt even question it. id be like FUCK yeah they were watermelon!!!

Tales of Galactic Empire

The highlight of last night’s Eurovision Song Contest had to be Bulgaria’s Star Admiral Poli Genova, and Croatia’s Galactic Empress Nina Kraljic. It was some serious Jupiter Ascending level stuff.

Not content to leave such an image solely in my mind, I went and had some fun with photoshop :)

ilboscoombroso

I will add the reference on Nina’s surname: Kraljić.

Kralj in Croatian means the king. lol

This is my new favourite fact, it’s glorious!

Since it’s Eurovision tonight I think it’s time to dust off this little gem from 2016

Does necromancy only work on animals? What do you do if you accidentally necromancy a fence and then it starts growing branches?

WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU NECROMANCY A BOTTLE OF SHAMPOO AND IT TURNS INTO AN ENTIRE PILE OF LIMES?

WHAT IF I NECROMANCIED A LIMESTONE WALL AND IT JUST TURNED INTO A PILE OF MOLLUSCS? WHAT IF I MOLLUSCED A BUILDING? A MOUNTAIN?
