Sometimes I feel like it’s nice to know that you got there. Even for a minute! I’ll take it. Haha
I think I have hope, too, that I’ll get back there.

I know that mango sticky rice is a popular Thai dessert, but I’m curious about other ways people eat it too!
If anyone else is curious, this appears to be the original, with higher resolution.
I love how vintage it looks! Usually modern vintage art loses something but I don’t know what it is.
I’ve asked three other people close to my age (they’re between 41 and 44) and none of them knew.
This is fascinating, I don’t know how this information got lost within ten years! Lol
What’s weird too is that I live where there were a lot of drive-ins so you’d kind of assume there would be more double features but maybe not
Oh hey, this was essentially my experience too, but with the Walking Dead comic! The TV series used plot points from the comic book and I think you can kinda tell where the TV series’ success started affecting the comic and the whole thing turned into an ouroboros of trying to maintain the success of a flashy zombie TV show.
I think maybe it was inevitable. Robert Kirkman’s original idea of a never-ending human drama surrounded by the pressures of zombies doesn’t seem profitable long-term without insane character deaths and (more) deliberate gore porn.
When the original Walking Dead comic books came out around 2003 I was just getting back into comics and I remember reading Robert Kirkman’s ideas about what he wanted it to be.
This is exactly what he said. That the original classic zombie movies that he liked — mostly the Romero Living Dead ones — were stories about the people trying to survive. The zombies are secondary and, sometimes, even kind of ridiculous (see Dawn of the Dead, one of my favorite movies).
I thought the Walking Dead TV show and the comics after a certain point went into more gore porn, so I tuned out.
But you’re 100% right for me. George Romero made zombie movies to look at people. Not the zombies.
Hey, if you make art, that makes you an artist. It may not make you a professional artist, but that’s fine.
This is beautiful, btw, and 100% counts as art.
According to the Associated Press, the company that sold the lectern is Beckett Events, LLC. It’s an event planning company in Virginia founded by a former lobbyist.
I love that! Thanks for posting all the pictures, I didn’t know this set existed and I love the art
I just want to second saying you’d Google it in the interview if it comes up. I got my first job because of this in software engineering a long time ago.
Interviewer: “If you didn’t know how to solve a technical problem, what’s the first thing you’d do?” Me: “Well… to be honest, I’d probably Google it…” Interviewer: “Oh yeah that’s actually exactly what we want!”
It did feel stupid to say at the time but it made sense after.
Sidney Sime (who signed his works S.H. Sime) was an English artist, and this was an illustration for "Poltarnees, Beholder of Ocean" in Lord Dunsany's A Dreamer's Tales, published in 1910.
A Dreamer's Tales is the fourth book by Irish fantasy writer Lord Dunsany, considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula K. Le Guin, and others.
Sidney Sime’s artwork is amazing, thanks for sharing!
I loved the system in the first Bravely Default! It made battles go by so quickly and was so fun
