Mostly Lupin III, despite the name. Cartoons, comics, books. Millennial. Messing around with desktop themes, give me a minute here, it might look temporarily awful.

It's so weird that Survivor has turned into this thing like soap operas, where there's a specific group of people who are following all the twists and turns and then everyone else is like "what do you mean that's still on TV?"
#survivor and greys anatomy have survived since y2k by becoming completely different animals than they started as#using tumblr like a diary#i guess#this isn't really a diary thought its just like a thought thought#the merchandising team (and one dock guy) at work follows some soap#one time i guess the dock guy had work to do down there so a merchandising person was in the breakroom videocalling him so he didn't miss i#as a person with a Fascination™ with franchises that carry their initial time period forward through the aeons i should really#check out their most recent offerings and see what 2000s baggage they have#what is the survivor equivalent of fred's ascot?

??? That's the Amityville Horror house ????
Ah, okay, false alarm. I double-checked and it's a different two-story building with three dormers, white with black shutters, front door in the middle and a deck/sunroom-y thing on each side.
Still looks haunted to me, ngl.
#is this a joke i'm not getting#why are you trying to tell me taylor swift grew up in the amityville horror house????

Disconnected running thoughts on this 1911 plastic surgery book:
Ooh, retro autoclave:
In retrospect I should not have been surprised that those butterfly closure thingies were that old.
Oh wow, those are fancy:
On post-surgery care:
The strength of the patient must be supported by the free use of stimulants and frequent small quantities of nutritious food. Milk with whisky is excellent.
I appreciate that they champion local over general anesthetic where at all possible, but this bit was, uh:
In neurotic and anemic subjects a full dose of strong wine or whisky should be given half an hour before operation. Habitual drinkers should be given one quarter grain morphin sulphate.
There was a really good stretch where it was talking about the, like, fabric of skin and had a bunch of diagrams that I doubt are much different from today's practice. And then we got into "zoödermic grafts."
That is…a long section on paraffin. And vaseline. Dude was really into injecting paraffin and vaseline into people.
Okay, I'm most of the way through skimming this and it swings wildly between "techniques that definitely saved peoples' lives and/or quality thereof" and "dangerous things done for vanity." Which is kind of still where plastic surgery sits today, to be honest.
Imagine getting electrolysis with a bunch of these suckers:
Aaand fini! Phew, that was a trip. I didn't even make a little note of everything that was notable.
The 1910s/20s were a wild time for medicine. Got one good foot into the waters of medicine that actually consistently helped people (mostly by being pretty solid on the "germs bad" part), but there was still a whole lot of throwing random drugs and injections at the problem without actually like, checking if they were poison or not first.

Still in the table of contents, which started promisingly with things like "care of instruments" and "care of the hands," but went sharply downhill went it got to injecting paraffin into people.
Slightly later:
Sunken noses have been raised with metal wire, metal plates, amber, and caoutchouc.
BRO.

Have to write a fic where numismatist Zenigata foils a heist to steal the Del Monte Note and title it "Zeni for your Thoughts."
#he deserves a win sometimes#the del monte note is a famous misprint $20 bill where a banana sticker got in the machinery#oh shit there might already be a part 2 episode called that. it's so obvious. let me check.#okay we're good there isn't#people have made same joke of course but that's fine
