This, That, and The Other (Zen/Chaos Edition)
Because it is ALL chaos now.
Zen/Chaos
“If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it’s not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.”
-Dalai Lama
I’m in a situation where I can do nothing about why everything it blowing up all around me, and I can’t worry about that. I have to focus on the things that will see me come through it so I can move forward after the fact (and keep my pets safe and secure as my family).
Lexx is Calming Me
One of my all time favorite Sci-Fi shows is Farscape and I used to catch episodes of Lexx also, because they were in the same nightly block. I bought the complete series of Lexx on DVD (sadly it’s not on Bluray), and the last few nights it has been a calming therapy of a sort.
Who knew that space irony, parody, fatalism, and sex innuendo were so good for calming the mind in times of trouble?
It takes the weird of Farscape and dials it up by about 10x more. The “CGI” is worse (cheaper) than Babylon 5 but I love it. When I see that old original graphically CGI, it takes me away to new universes. I know for some people, it takes them out of the show, but for me it’s the opposite. When I see CGI that is trying to emulate reality perfectly, it looks fake to me and that destroys the immersion into the fantasy of the show/movie.
Odds and Ends… Fun with X
A bunch of engagement farming on X that I found fun and distracting.
I’m going to say… Playing with swords or sword fighting or attempting to grill your burgers and hot dogs.
Who played Morticia Addams the Best?
Carolyn Jones
Anjelica Huston
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Carolyn Jones… Carolyn Jones will ALWAYS be THE Morticia.
I have… 2 that I can name off the top of my head…
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) - Still a favorite flick today:
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003):
This one actually fixes the issue of the original that made the young adults the actual criminals of that movie. (See Below):
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 1974 (Review)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre at its core is a story of a family protecting their private property rights. With a chainsaw instead of a gun. That's what it really comes down to. The group quite literally trespasses and enters this family's home uninvited.
Eraserhead - I didn’t enjoy it. I really didn’t “get” what David Lynch was trying to say with it.
Dark Angel (w/ Jessica Alba):
Well… That’s enough meandering. I put this piece together in the attempt to distract myself and keep my eyes from blurring over as I peruse LinkedIn and all of the other job boards out there. Hopefully one of these Technical Writer positions I’m applying for takes notice soon.
Pray for me!!!

I still have a huge crush on Claudia Black.
Keep at it re job and goals. Something will arise usually out of left field.
Keep at it with the job applications. Pretty soon you won't need to pretend to be a bi-curious genderfluid dragonkin to get your application seen by a human being ... I hope. Here in the not-so-Great White North, they stopped considering white males for employment years ago. It's more than five years since I managed to get an interview (and everyone I talked to in that (group) interview was female and a few of them had danger-coloured hair ... I never had a chance).
