Every now and then, my brain will just feed me a line from a cartoon or a show that was meant to be a tongue twister and I'll just say it out loud as the answer to a question.

A while back, I was lucky enough to get a chance to curate a webcomic bundle for storybundle and this was a key part. It's been a joy seeing these characters in my timeline since then.

I think it might be funny to keep track of the things I've had to look up while writing this novel. Discounting my own established lore, I've looked up:
- The ingredients in green goddess dressing
- How long does it take to make French Bread Pizza

Since NaNoWriMo is No Mo', I'm starting this thread as an accountability thing. I will list how many words I did yesterday, each day, until I hit 50k.
Yesterday I did 5,106 words, for a total of 5,106 in the book so far.

This was open in a tab so I watched it again. Imagine if this song and scene was in Pixar's Cars. The movie's plot is already basically toy story with appliances. This scene with all of the character development of Cars would ruin the psyche of a generation.
So, do they still make children's movies that fill the viewer with unquenchable existential dread? Or was that just for my generation. Youtube just fed this to me and resurfaced some deep psychological scars. Now you can have some too!

I feel an (unearned) special kinship with the Lackadaisy production I skeeted about yesterday. Part of it is because I'm friends with or an acquaintance of may of the people in the production. But also, back when I was rolling in the dough, some of the same people worked on things for me! (1/3)

A preview of Lackadaisy Season One - the Speakeasy is in its prime as Mitzi and the band regale the crowd with an original musical number, Last Call. This seemed like the ideal way to announce that Lackadaisy is now officially a Glitch Production!!

One of the increasingly common side effects of AI is spam emails written in such a way that it APPEARS they have read the book want me to buy marketing for. Most of the time, these are books that came out before 2022, since these are the books that were stolen in their entirety and processed for AI.

An actual statement I made to my therapist:
"I'm bouncing back and forth between Eeyore and Piglet, but I'm shooting for Pooh."
Oh, to be befuddled, stuffed with honey, and wedged in a hole.

I've mused in the past about the fact that Frollo's horse from Disney's Hunchback looks more severe and evil than he does. Today, the following question came to my mind.
What would be funnier:
- A villain with the happiest, most friendly horse possible?
- A hero with a downright demonic steed?
