And it's about time too. The only things I have on my deep freeze playlist are Mono, Cave In, Bark Psychosis, Elf Fatima, Massive Attack, Tankbund, and Lovesliescrushing. Everything else I discover in the winter gets absorbed into playlists for other seasons. Like Slowdive and Lush did. Like The Curtain Society did. It gets kind of tiring after a while. See the burning question.
I had a dream where I died and my anima transmigrated wrong so my new body ended up with my old memories. Then my teeth fell out and they were wrapped in green cloth. And then I couldn't get back to sleep because I'm so lovesick I'm getting abdominal cramps.
I called it an anima in the dream probably because in real life, Anima crashlanded in the Atlantic Ocean and is turning it to crystal. This process may have reversed by now, the freezing point of ocean water is somewhere around 27°F.
I had a dream where the spy agency formerly known as ISIS were all playing a game of cards and they were all trying to cheat and Kreiger was using one of his inventions to read their minds.
I had a dream where we were at this tower watching this game with one net, thirty players on each, and one goal net, and they would all try to kick the ball in to the goal and once they tried it, successful or not they would leave the field, and it would go on until all the players are gone. The tower didn't look stable, like it was made out of cardboard, so I thought that if I was dreaming, I could just jump down.
I woke up with a German antifascist song from the Spanish civil war stuck in my head. I think it had new Spanish lyrics in the dream but since I have a hard time remembering things said in dreams and I don't speak Spanish or German, I don't know.

Here are some band recommendations courtesy of Emma (the artist, not the wildlife center's Emma, although I am thinking of asking her for band recommendations): 2:54 and Honeyblood. In The Mirror by 2:54 is my latest addiction.

I got to see a Argentine black and white tegu, nameless until someone figures out which sex it is. I thought Spyro's nails were bad.
I said there are plenty of gender neutral names out there.
On the other hand, Lisa performed a neutering on a bunny named Sophie. She knows someone with a male tabby named Rose. Which is ok because there are guys with the last name Rose.
I wondered aloud if the reason the death penalty is so common in the US is because juries are selected for people who believe in the death penalty. I feel like supporters of the death penalty are the kinds of people who want to come off as tough on crime and think the mere act of being on trial is tantamount to guilt too.
In 2013, Papua New Guinea introduced the death penalty for crimes like rape, robbery, and sorcery murder, which means that if someone dies under mysterious circumstances or any circumstances, you can have your enemies killed!
Courtney gave them too much credit and said it might have only been condemning ritualized murder. 1. Murder is likely already a capital crime and it's not like being ritualized will result in more death penalty and 2. Very superstitious population, probably run by an inept, brutal, and cash-poor government and missionaries who care more about propagating their beliefs than bringing any real progress to the country. I might be wrong about the second part.
Wait, inept, brutal, and cash-poor? Hm, the only Central Asian country that has the death penalty is Tajikistan. Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan most likely rely on extrajudicial killings.
A guy who was capable of a really awesome Jabba the Hutt voice in passable backwards Quechua* nicknamed the store's ferrets Jabba the Ferret because he's really big and Boba Ferret because he's Jabba's companion.
*I looked this up and apparently, the stuff Greedo says to Han consists of Quechua-ish nonsense with some Quechua words thrown in. And one of the voices in the cantina scene is a tape of someone speaking Tsėhésenėstsestȯtse (Cheyenne) played backwards.
I'm sorry I keep editing entries ten minutes after I post them.
A few animals got released. They were in small boxes so I'm assuming they're ducks.

If you like watercolors, skeletons, and faux-Nahuatl Codex Seraphianus logolalia, enjoy this art. I've never seen instagram change their URL format but just to make sure, I'm posting them on Imgur.

Here's more.
Pronounced like "hwee," I do believe.

I'll ask the question related to her and The Grand Budapest Hotel I had very soon, I promise.
Burning Question: Anybody want to recommend some minimalist post-rock or subdued but not pastoral choral music? And trip-hop. Sorry to edit things in the morning after I post.
