EXCUSE ME THIS IS INCREDIBLE

I mean, it’s more useful as an identifier than his given name! I’ve met way more Adams than trombone doctors

Welp, time to look up that one so I can listen to its particular swirls while still probably failing to see the horse 👁️ 🐎

Doctor Trombones recently recommended an instrumental piece to me and I know he’s going to ask if I liked it, and this ramble right here is my attempt at an answer. The colors were certainly pleasant enough, but I KNOW THERE’S A HORSE IN HERE and I am disheartened by my inability to perceive it

This is also how I engage with music. I can enjoy sounds! I have favorite songs and there’s music I like and don’t like, but for reasons along the lines of “the lyrics remind me of a dramatic thing that happened in a roleplaying game” rather than anything to do with the quality of music itself

These things started cropping up in everyone’s houses for a year or two, and I could enjoy looking at them because colors! Dots! Swishes! But I never knew what the 3-D pictures actually WERE, and I’d get frustrated by the knowledge of invisible horses

I remember the first time my mom brought one home, pretty in lavenders and purples.
“Look at the horse!” she said, “Isn’t this amazing?”
I do not have depth perception and could not see the horse.

It’s like… you know those Magic Eye thingies from the 1990’s? Abstract 2-D color swirls that could resolve into three dimensional pictures for most people?
I’m not most people.

Wait wait you didn’t get any non-heterosexual vibes from Ellen asking Anna to sleep in her bed and then being all “thank you for loving me?” Because okay you can legit read that as straight, but not like… AGGRESSIVELY straight I don’t think?

16) Water flossers! Got the ADHD so bad I wouldn’t floss because it involved 557 micro steps + decisions and afterward I’d be like “Welp that’s it! My Brain Quest for the day!”
Water flossing is 2 steps, 0 decisions. I can do this multiple times a day! ORAL HEALTH GAME CHANGER

15) This cow udder lotion that my manager brought in, and is the only thing that keeps my hands from cracking + bleeding at work. Either this stuff is magical or I have udder hands. NO WAIT not gonna think too hard about that, or the fact I spend all day handing people cups of milk NOPE NOPE NOPE

I mean I DO get up before dawn, but I’m not sure “creature of the night” counts if it’s like an hour from the back end

14) Getting outside at or shortly after dawn every day. This CAN cause uncomfortable dissonance with my Monster Alignment, and I even had to take the “creature of the night” patch off my jacket because I was no longer worthy, but OH MAN SO WORTH IT WHEN BRAIN DO THE GOOD ZOOMIES

Oh no Kit that is not a good therapist. Unless you find dancing therapeutic? Maybe just dig out a slab of cardboard and dance in a parking lot together

They’re spicier than jalapeños, but nothing crazy. I love spicy food, and my tolerance is definitely high by Wisconsin standards, but I don’t know what that would mean in an area where the standard is less aggressively bland and beige

10) Sleep masks.
Listen. EYELIDS ARE INSUFFICIENT AS THE BLACKOUT CURTAINS OF THE FACE. Gotta get a good prosthetic eyelid to wear over your real eyelids

7) use of the term “frankensteined” for when you take bits of things and mash ‘em together, and the prefix “franken-“ for stuff that’s been made that way
“Yeah I kinda frankensteined this recipe together from a bunch of different ones I found online”
“BEHOLD, MY FRANKENCURRY”
