When I'm reaching deep down into my senses

Bad: This is the third night in a row I have not slept. I am beginning to feel very frayed around the edges and I hurt all the time.

Good: I am reading tonight at Pandemonium Books & Games! Come hear me read different stories and answer different questions than at my previous appearances. I don't think it should be a selling point that I might be tired enough to speak in tongues.

On the strength of their "Save the People," [personal profile] spatch and I really feel the Mountain Goats should just do a full-album cover of Godspell or a concert revival or something.

On the strength of "Soft Stud," I am having trouble waiting for the rest of Black Belt Eagle Scout's Mother of My Children (2017/2018). Queer Native feminist alternative rock? Do you want to take my money now or yesterday?

Talking about Neue Sachlichkeit with [personal profile] moon_custafer reminded me of Max Beckmann's Double Portrait (1946). I visit it whenever I am at the MFA; it's one of my favorite pieces of the museum, along with the stamp seal with a suḫurmāšu or Ellen Day Hale's Self Portrait (1885). I like Beckmann's portrait of Perry T. Rathbone (1948), but the other one keeps coming back to me.

He looks pretty much exactly the way you’d picture someone named “Perry T. Rathbone.”

Can't one be both?
