Serendipity strikes again – or maybe it was intentional engagement bait on Danny’s part. I got a very strong, different-feeling intuitive ping about him when I woke up this morning. It was a bit early in the day for a video so I checked his Reddit. There were a couple posts in New about this random 3s IG story where he’s just kinda looking awkwardly into the camera. “….I’m not really gonna bother checking this, am I? If there’s something else important they would have posted about it…….fuck ok I’m checking.” I saw his two other IG stories. I felt like I was kicked out of a 747 mid-flight, blacked out, and now I seem to have a ticket to a stand up show in Chicago in October.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that no one on Reddit seemed to care about the standup show, and they just want to make weird or derogatory comments about his appearance. That’s par for the course. Considering that the “mistake” story is still up, and is the ONLY thing reposted on his sub, it seems Danny knows his audience better than I do. I doubt I would have seen the story without that bait, since I never go on Instagram and I don’t even follow him anyway. 

I can’t let myself do the weeks-long version of ADHD waiting mode. My comic isn’t going to write itself, (the Javalina comic, Robyn, no Ned this time!) and my work wont sell if I’m not actually, you know, out there selling it. My executive functioning has been non-existant recently, and I need some momentum and self discipline, without fighting against my elephant directly. If I could entice him with fruit, and sooth his anxiety with a dumbo feather….what those metaphorically represent is still a question mark at this stage. 

These three cards fell and they all are very water-y, in this deck at least. That feels significant, as if I had just been to an aquarium or was watching stuff about aquatic animals…but I haven’t. Maybe I had a dream last night that I just can’t consciously remember. Urg, it’s that niggling feeling when there’s something you should be remembering but it’s just not coming. Either way they are very auspicious cards, it’s just hard for me to trust. Here they are, and an art dump as well.
