I don’t have much to report today. I’m sending ahead, ideally at least half of my shit tomorrow. I may even have all my shit together that I may be on the road this weekend and be back home…let’s see…this weekend. I love it when a plan comes together. Maybe I’ll finish watching Daredevil Born Again this week but Andor season two is starting today. Two of my most favorite things is Star Wars and espionage and you have no idea how thrilled I am to finally have the two together in a series. That said I would love a Jedi spy series, vast rich and untapped potential there. I have some ideas I would like to work out if Lucasfilm and/or Disney are interested. I don’t need to say this here but it should be said and I tend to say it every chance I get. Quinlan Vos was poorly portrayed in The Clone Wars. They made him out to be some sort of bro tough guy. He is actually a fairly stoic and superbly complex person. He was a spy during the clone wars at various times a double agent infiltrating both the Jedi Council and the highest ranks of Dooku’s confidants. And that all was after years of training specifically in covert operations under the tutelage of the most skilled Jedi spy in their history. That alone is a fantastic story was only told in a series of comics that I’m pretty sure were only read by me. My point is there is still miles of great storytelling available.
I can’t wait to be back home, in the old neighborhood, facing the ghosts of my past, my old In-N-Out Burger. All the open mics everyday where I’ll eat shit in front of everyone. It’s going to be so much fun! Being able to walk the streets of my youth with the freedom of knowing that I wouldn’t be going home to an abusive “mother” stealing from me everything worthwhile. I should’ve done this years ago before losing important people. Of course, if the methodology of domestic violence weren’t so effective, it’s unlikely so many people would use it. In any case, I’m finally going home!
I’ve been thinking about how to rebuild the studio when I get there. I have some ideas of how to configure the furniture so I can squeeze the desk into the living room. We’ll have to set up and tear down the equipment whenever recording. Not the greatest price to pay for all this. I do need to figure out how I’m going to set up all the resin and other arts and crafts space. As long as I make it down this weekend I’ll have plenty of time work out those details before the new furniture arrives. Wow, it’s almost that I’m a real adult suddenly.
