On the downside, due to thirst &/or the music coming thru my laptop being too loud I woke up ~45 mins before my alarm on my 1st of two 12 hr days in a row. On the upside, thanks to that I noticed that I'd failed to plug in my phone before falling asleep, so it may just barely be at 100% before I leave. #defendedbe

"You there, boy! What's today's date??"
"Today, sir? Why it's The Tenth of September, The Anniversary of The Debut On American TV of #Voltron #VoltronDefenderofTheUniverse!"
"Then I haven't missed it. The Five Lions did it all in one night!"
"Oh no, sir: it's been 39 years."

Uh-huh, I'll bet, #Narasimha. Or should I say #VARAHA?

OR SHOULD I SAY LORD #VISHNU???

Last night's #thriftfu #litotimancy was brief, but fruitful:

• 2 CDs;
• 1 book;
• 1 shaving kit;
• 1 of the funkiest shirts on the planet (center top); and
• 18 small toys

for a total #tithe of $51. #occult #Magick #defendedbe

The 2 shirts at top right & left are new #POD #PrintOnDemand #TeePublic orders, both #robot themed.

Thursday I overcame nearly one month of sloth to go back to the gym, somehow steamrolling through my usual workout 30 mins quicker than ordinarily. Lest you believe this evinces renewed passion, I'd say it's more about my refreshed distaste for my fellow iron-pumpers. As a treat I found 3 tees @ the flea mkt, incl a #Voltron one (albeit XXL), and popped peanut butter balls into my gob while watching that evening's entertainment/distraction content. #defendedbe

I ought not have procrastinated in looking, but my phobia of unending misfortune dissuaded me long enough: I discovered that some footage for episode 2 of #defendedbe that I'd shot with help a year ago indeed got backed up to one of my G0og|e drives & not corrupted as I'd feared nor lost with my previous phone. As I hope to shoot a few more scenes in the museum this week, this might provide momentum to carry me through the remainder of the production if I can surf that wave with focus & talent.

Generally speaking I'm not much for #screamo, but it's nigh impossible for me to say no to a song named "Defender." And a comic-styled video? Someone has my number. (That someone is apparently #AugustBurnsRed.) #defendedbe https://youtu.be/48L67oBBvHQ

It might appear to the untrained eye like I spent 15 hours in bed, and... well, I DID spend 15 hours in bed, but that's b/c I worked 5 hours OT on a hard concrete floor policing entitled drunks around unprotected artwork alone and my foot swole up. MY POINT IS, tho I spent much of that time in bed asleep, when I wasn't I stumbled onto a new mythic figure who will no doubt be on #defendedbe in some capacity TBD once I have a better idea of who they are & what they mean in context.

I don't typically avail myself of the vending machines in the staff cafeteria, especially because I began bringing most food with me from home since the pandemic for the sake of budget & limiting potential exposure, but I was feeling snacky. Not only did it drop an extra bag of Doritos, it had some kind of malfunction & didn't charge me for either of them! #thriftfu #defendedbe

Hey @Dreamworks/WEP: now that @netflix has decided to Blockbuster themselves, can we finally get the last couple seasons of @Voltron #voltronlegendarydefender #vld on DVD or, gasp, even Blu-Ray? Solely relying on streaming over physical media has never been my thing. #defendedbe
