human beings love to be like 'heres a thing with a finite number of variations' & then sort it into categories. & theyre always wrong. everything is multitudinous & unfathomable & theres nothing you can do about it. but the human desire to make sense of the universe is also boundless & inexorable & theres nothing you can do about that either.

one of the reasons why "what if people went on a road trip and it was weird" is one of the oldest story types is that a lot of sense of personhood has been, historically, tied to place. the weird road trip says "what if we went somewhere else, where no one knows us, and tried out being a different person".

Odysseus, the famous liar, goes on a weird road trip & over the course of it becomes several different people, and then comes home & is all those people as well as himself, wearing the echoes of those other people

a lil bit emotional about how "nostalgia" originally meant longing across a displacement in space but in common parlance it refers to longing across a displacement in time... you don't go away from home and miss it, you stay where you are and time passes and home just disappears

now that my jury duty is over and i can legally talk about my jury duty, a short list of things that i have learned about jury duty:

when the judge wants to sidebar with the lawyers they turn on a static noise machine for the jury. this is very like the experience of being trapped inside a television

sometimes they load the entire court -- judge, lawyers, court reporters, jury, etc. -- onto a bus and take you all on a little field trip to see a crime scene. this is very like the experience of being in elementary school

when you are on a jury field trip you May Not share a seat, you May Not speak, and you May Not look at anything you have not been officially told you can look at. this is very like the experience of being trapped inside a point-and-click adventure except that instead of being limited in your investigation by the constraints of the game mechanics, you are instead limited in your investigation by the court officers herding you around like ducks with their long wooden Official Court Staffs

no matter how much an FBI agent may encourage the court to call him kevin, the court will not call him kevin

I don’t remember which episode, but literally Michelle Nguyen says: “Who has a Woody Guthrie tattoo?” In one of her monologues, and in Voicemail she tells Cecil that the new Woody Guthrie CD is in for him and. Cecil has a Woody Guthrie tattoo guys

People underestimate the power of giving Cecil tattoos OTHER THAN the common fanon tentacles. Like, I love those too, but tell me Mr. “I struggle to recognize my body as my own and dress extremely extravagantly as a way of claiming ownership of my person and appearance” wouldn’t have some wonderful and stupid fuckin tattoos. Of Khoshek, of something science-y, of something for Janice, of something for Esteban, of god knows what but an assortment of life and memory marked on his skin for those times he can’t quite recognize himself
